It is not Philip Marlowe, and neither Humphrey Bogart. But somewhere in between. Insufficiently cynical to Marlowe was not sufficiently known to be Bogart. His name is Marvin and once was a star of silent films. Since the final curtain came down on the stage passed into an occupation that never dies - an interest which are yet to acquire a name. Comes into play detective Marvin.

Atypical inside-joke where in the old silent movie shown in the first three panels of the story, Marvin, in the role of a gunslinger, frees his girlfriend from the clutches of an outlaw who has the face (and even the Long Rifle) of Ken Parker. Through dialogue between Ken and Marvin, the authors represent a sort of ironic passing of the baton between their most successful character (Ken, now, at the time, to the last numbers of his first series) and the "novice" Marvin.
