Description
This is a reworking of the Public Domain character Ace Harlem.
Ace Harlem made his first and only published appearance in 'All-Negro Comics' #1 (1947).
For the reworking, I dropped the "Harlem" moniker, and went with the more generic (but similarly sounding) "Harlen" as a surname, and relocated him to the fictional locale of King City.
I utilized all of the characters that appeared in Ace Harlem's sole adventure, in 'All-Negro Comics' #1, and refashioned them into an ongoing supporting cast.
If time allows, I'd like to create a weekly B&W comic strip and a monthly Sunday color installment, featuring Ace and crew!
I'm looking forward to incorporating the "ace" detective into The Legacy Universe!
**If anyone is interested in providing colors for the monthly Sunday strip, please let me know!**

Ace Harlem made his first and only published appearance in 'All-Negro Comics' #1 (1947).
He was a no-nonsense, "famed Negro detective", who strongly believed that crime was a fruitless endeavor, and those who pursued it, would eventually get what was coming to them! Needless to say, Ace was indeed correct. Every ne'er-do-well in the debut story met a grisly death, either at the hands of a fellow criminal or by some cruel (but justified) twist of fate. Ace barely had to lift a finger!

Looks great! I plan to use Ace Harlem,too but I want my version of him to be more like what DC's Doctor Occult is.
