2	[[caption-width-right:300:[[CatchPhrase The World's Greatest Half-Vampire Private Detective Skateboard Champion]]]]
3	A comic book written by Chris Sims and drawn by Matthew Allen Smith (though Sims originally wrote ''Solomon Stone'' stories as text pieces and posted them on his blog). It was published online by [[http://www.actionagecomics.com/ Action Age Comics]]. It starred the eponymous Solomon Stone, "the [[OverlyNarrowSuperlative World's Greatest Half-Vampire Private Detective Skateboard Champion]]", and his very British girlfriend Minxy Flatbush. The series revolved around Solomon's detective work as he traveled the globe solving whatever supernatural mysteries came his way.

5	!!This series provides examples of:
6	* AffectionateParody: This comic book parodies the action-packed and sometimes nonsensical plots of Silver Age comics, as well as the sorts of stories everybody writes as a young teen.
7	* ArchNemesis: Dorian [=DeWolfe=], the world's greatest Werewolf BMX Biker Champion Investigator.
8	* DesignatedVictim: Minxy Flatbush.
9	* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Dorian [=DeWolfe=], according to Sims.
10	* IAmVeryBritish: Minxy isn't quite an example of the trope, but adds ridiculous Britishisms to everything she says ("Bangers an' mash, Solomon!"). Writer Chris Sims frequently tweets about his difficulty in coming up with phrases that are just this side of unbelievable.
11	* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: Solomon is a half-vampire private detective skateboard champion.
12	* {{Parody}}: A fairly vicious one of bad vampire fantasy novels.
13	* {{Reconstruction}}: Action Age Comics is dedicated to recapturing the action and fun of the Silver Age.
14	* SupervillainLair: A heroic example is the Cosmodrome, Solomon's converted planetarium/skatepark headquarters.
15	* VampireDetectiveSeries: Well, ''half''-vampire.
16	* WizardingSchool: Solomon and Dorian went to Rookstone's Academy for the Magically Awesome as children, according to #2.
