Prior to the webcomic, Jazz Age Chronicles was released in printed format from EF Graphics and Caliber Comics. It?s Boston in the 1920s. Famed Harvard archaeologist Clifton Jennings, international adventurer and discoverer of ancient treasures, has some adventures no one knows about. He?s a member of a Secret Society, one that guards against supernatural threats and unscrupulous meddlers in the black arts. One such meddler is the Baroness Marlene Von Treska, with whom Jennings shares a history. In The Case of the Beguiling Baroness, when she is rumored to be in town, Jennings and his Secret Society hire seedy private eye Ace Mifflin to keep tabs on her whereabouts. And that?s when their troubles really begin... In Vote Early & Often, the detective finds himself unwittingly in the spotlight when he publicly accuses the leading candidate for district attorney of a murder his friend is on trial for! Will he get his friend out of jail, or just put himself in?
