A series followed - Nolan and Jon, I think around eight books to date - and all of the entries are filled with comics references.
My first novel, 'Bait Money' (1973), was about a fifty-ish bank robber and his young, unlikely accomplice, a comic book collector in his early twenties. I was kind of a black sheep at that prestigious writer's school, with my 'commercial' goals but I wrote three mystery novels there, and sold all of them - the first two, literally, in the last week of class. I began writing mystery novels in junior high, kept at it in high school - sending a manuscript out, getting it rejected, starting another - and continued the process at the University of Iowa, where I was in both the undergrad and graduate Writers Workshop. "But around the seventh grade, I got interested in mystery fiction my favorite comic books were 'Dick Tracy' and 'Batman,' so the jump to hardboiled private eyes was a short one. "I grew up in Iowa a kid loving and reading comics, and dreaming of being a cartoonist," Collins told CBR News.
