Rookie Rankin

Rookie Rankin was a brave cop on the beat, if none too bright, much to the annoyance of his commanding officer, Sgt. Burns. His “routine” patrols invariably uncovered major crimes. Most of the criminals he encountered were normal, but some were more outlandish, like the Spider and the Tattooed Man.
