“Pulp is
associated with many genres,” Tommy Hancock, Partner in and Editor in Chief of
Pro Se stated. “None, though, probably as much as the Crime/Mystery field,
particularly the PI tale.
That’s why Pro Se is proud to announce that Nate Hollis, a character
created by Gary Phillips for the 2005 Vertigo miniseries ANGELTOWN is now a
part of Pro Se’s future prose lineup.”
A noted
crime and mystery writer, Gary Phillips is the creative mind behind the Ivan
Monk series as well as books featuring Las Vegas’ showgirl-turned- courier,
Martha Chaney. Phillips has also
contributed to multiple collections, including one of Moonstone’s AVENGER
CHRONICLES, and is one of the two driving forces, along with Hancock, behind
Pro Se’s upcoming major release BLACK PULP.
“ANGELTOWN,”
said Hancock, “introduced the world to Nate Hollis, as hard boiled and two
fisted as any detective that came before him. Not only does Nate have all the classic attributes of a Pulp
PI, but he’s set squarely in the modern era and is also enhanced by all that
comes with that. Pro Se is
excited about the future of Nate Hollis, including new anthologies and even
novels written by the best authors in New Pulp, including Gary himself.”

Hollis’
creator, Gary Phillips added, “I’m jazzed that Tommy and the fine folks at Pro
Se Press have taken on producing the further outings of Nate Hollis and the
other characters in his orbit. Tough customers such as shotgun-wielding
female bounty hunter Irma Ducett aka Irma Deuce, and Nate’s ex-pro football
playing granddad, Obadiah "Clutch" Hollis, current owner of a
neighborhood dive frequented by the squares and the strange. Certainly
I’m looking forward to seeing how other writers will devise cases for Nate and,
of course, I’ll be penning some new stories too. It’s going to be a
blast.”
Hancock
stated that announcements would be forthcoming concerning publication of the
first Nate Hollis book from Pro Se, fully expecting a book to be published in
the first half of 2013.
Nate Hollis
originally debuted in Angeltown, a five-part miniseries from DC Comics’
Vertigo imprint, January-May 2005. The strip was then collected and
reprinted in hardcover graphic novel form as Angeltown: The Nate Hollis
Investigations, with two new prose short stories added, by Moonstone Books
in 2011.
