Pat Novak Returns!
To be released February 2006, written by Steven Grant, and illustrated by Tom Mandrake, 48 pages of Pat Novak offers up a story of a corrupt senator and a bizarre sex cult. Sure, Jack Webb's ears were a little bigger than depicted here, but it seems like they have the hard-boiled aspect covered well enough.
Encyclopedia Pat Novak!
Did you like how well-written and knowledgeable the About Page was? Well, that text was originally printed in John Dunning's exhaustive catalog of radio broadcasts from the 30's, 40's, 50's, a truly invaluable resource tool. Short of actually diving into the old-time tapes, this is the best start. Highly recommended.

Pat Novak on Wikipedia?
No, not yet. There's a decent Jack Webb page, but the Pat Novak, For Hire page is non-existent. Anyone that wants to take the time to put up a respectable and accurate Novak entry--you could probably even just copy and paste from these pages--you'll get your name here.
