Christy Mystery: Great Moments in Detective Plumbing History!

Introducing the Georgiana Neverall Mysteries!

Giving up her high-power role as a dot-com executive, Georgiana Neverall has returned to her small Oregon home-town and the more satisfying hands-on life of an apprentice plumber.

Now she just has to juggle her new job, her two fun-loving Airedales, her not-quite-yet a boyfriend, her meddling mom, her meddling mom's way-too-much a boyfriend, and a too-helpful best friend who just won't let the secrets of Georgiana's high-tech past alone.

And when you're mucking about in other people's pipes, you never know what you'll find. It might just be murder!

Great Moments in Detective Plumbing History!

Detective Comics #27, 1939, first appearance of Batman

#1 Fan (and husband) Steve here:

People seem to think that the conjunction of plumbing and detective work in Christy's Georgiana Neverall series is unusual, unprecedented, and occasionally even a little bizarre.

But Georgiana isn't the first amateur detective to wield a pipe wrench. In fact, she's part of a long and proud tradition, and we have some evidence here for you today!

The art at left is from Detective Comics #27, published in 1939, the first-ever appearance of Batman (then known as "the Bat-Man").

We'll admit that Batman has since traded his pipe-wrench in for a Bat-a-rang, but he still wears a ~~tool-belt~~ utility-belt.

So, Georgie is far from the first crime-solver to sling a wrench, and she may not be the last! We'll just have to wait and see...
