Published by Moonstone in 2002.
the Hat Squad actually existed. They were a group of LAPD homicide detectives operating in the fifties who wore fedoras, stuck together and believed firmly that the rights of criminals could be dealt with through the delicate persuasion of broken bones and split lips. They're the kind of police officers, who though honest to a fault, Elliot Ness--though no choirboy himself-- may have arrested out of principle.
Mr. Faerber finds a new home for the Hats in comic books. A very slight romanticization sees our heroes mowing through the type of sleazy fifties gangsters immortalized in such movies as Chinatown. The members of the Hat Squad were the stars of film Mullholland Falls as well as a short-lived television series.
