Slam Bradley

One of the First Detectives…

Samuel “Slam” Bradley is a private eye that began his career in the late 1930s.  Having been raised in the rough neighborhoods as a kid Slam knew how to handle himself and had an impressive fighting style.  Dropping out of high school Slam began to pursue a career in private detective work and soon had a partner named Shorty Morgan who assisted on cases.

It was often Slam’s job to go undercover and be involved in some aspect of the client’s lives, lending him to be a Jack of all Trades and master of none.

Years later Slam joined several other DC Detectives in discovering the solution to the death of his friend Archie Evergreen.  Slam keeps a low profile and is hardly seen in the modern era despite living in superhero rich New York City.
