A lo...I completely forgot about Richie Brockelman.<br /><br />A lot of other fictional PIs appeared on the Rockford Files. A few in poorly disguise attempts at spinoffs. Most notably, though, a pre-Magnum Tom Sellek. He played Lance White a super cool, super rich, super competent PI that annoyed the more human Rockford. Personally, I always preferred his appearances on Rockford to Magnum PI.

He was brought in by an episode were he goes to Bay City from Raymond Chandler's novels (actually there are two episodes in Bay City, but I did not know that when I e-mailed Win about that long ago so only one appeared in Crossovers) and one where he works with a reporter from the Independent News Service from Kolchak the Night Stalker. He never actually meets Marlowe or Kolchak or any other character another from what I know.<br /><br />Speaking of Bob Morane and the fact that I can't understand French, a long time ago I may have found a reference to Jean Ray's Malpertuis on a French Bob Morane website. I'm not certain because I said I don't know French. In Malpertuis, the titular house sits next to a monastery formally home to a group known as the Barbusquins. I spent sometime online trying to find out if this was a real religious order. I did not find out for sure, but the Barbusquins are mentioned on a Morane website.<br /><br />http://www.bobmorane.be/encyclopedie/perso-morane_bob.html<br /><br />As I said, I don't know French so I don't know if it has anything to do with Malpertuis and it could in fact be a real religious order.

The only story I have listed in the Crossovers manuscript where he actually appears himself is Michel Stephan's "With the Compliments of Nestor Burma!"Sean Levinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17338199695708410919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3401214402679376943.post-26472702185543065862015-06-07T10:47:40.924-07:002015-06-07T10:47:40.924-07:00I just read up on Marcel Cerdan on Wikipedia. That... I just read up on Marcel Cerdan on Wikipedia. That gave a whole lot of context to this entry when you know about his life.<br /><br /> I guess this is the first appearance of Corleone in the CU? Are they any other appearances? <br /><br />I haven't read any of the Bob Morane novels, because the only language I understand is English (and that's debatable.) It does seem that when he reference in Tales of the Shadowmen and other Black Coat Press stories it's indirectly. He does not really appear and is just mentioned or it is another character from the series that does. I wonder if that was for copyright reasons or it just ended up that way.<br /><br />Matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04695983348254508387noreply@blogger.com
