One Eyed Jacks (Twin Peaks)
''Twin Peaks'' is an American mystery serial drama television series created by Mark Frost and David Lynch. It premiered on ABC on April 8, 1990, and originally ran for two seasons until its cancellation in 1991. The show returned in 2017 for a third season on Showtime. The series follows an investigation, headed by FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) and local Sheriff Harry S. Truman (Michael Ontkean), into the murder of homecoming queen Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee) in the fictional town of Twin Peaks, Washington. The show's narrative draws on elements of detective fiction, but its uncanny tone, supernatural elements, and campy, melodramatic portrayal of eccentric characters also draws from American soap opera and horror tropes. Like much of Lynch's work, it is distinguished by surrealism, offbeat humor, and distinctive cinematography. The score was composed by Angelo Badalamenti with Lynch. The original run was followed by the 1992 feature film '' Twin Peaks ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

''One-Eyed Jack'' is an album by Garland Jeffreys, released in 1978 on A&M Records. It was recorded at Atlantic Studios, New York City, and produced by Jeffreys and David Spinozza. It was dedicated: "in Memory of my childhood idol, Jackie Robinson...here comes the One-Eyed Jack, Sometimes white and sometimes black". The album peaked at No. 99 on the ''Billboard'' 200. Critical reception ''The Globe and Mail'' wrote that "the promise shown in one earlier album has either disappeared entirely or has been smothered under a battery of badly-produced backup musicians." ''The Rolling Stone Album Guide'' called ''One-Eyed Jack'' "a somewhat confused, less-than-catchy concept album."

One-Eyed Jack (comics)
''One-Eyed Jack'' was a comic strip in British comic '' Valiant'' from December 1975 to October 1976, and then later in ''Battle Picture Weekly''. It was about a tough New York detective called Jack McBane. The strip was created by ''Valiant'' editor and writer John Wagner and artist John Cooper. History In 1975 ''Valiant'' was struggling as its sales figures fell, and it was in danger of being cancelled. John Wagner was asked to take over as editor and reinvigorate the title with better, more hard-hitting stories. At the time, Wagner was the editor of a girls' comic, but he had previously helped to set up and launch ''Battle'', a boys' war comic. ''One-Eyed Jack'' was one of the new stories Wagner introduced to ''Valiant'', and he wrote all of the episodes which appeared in ''Valiant''. It was inspired by the 1971 film ''Dirty Harry'' and other police films and television shows. The first episode appeared in the 20 December 1975 issue, and it immediately became the most popular ...

Fire From Heaven (comics)
"Fire From Heaven" was a company-wide comics crossover event story arc published by American company WildStorm in 1996. The story ran across at least one issue of most WildStorm titles at the time and several independent one-shots. The story tied into many events happening in the WildStorm universe and, unlike many major crossovers of the time, Fire From Heaven had a lasting impact on many of the characters involved. History The crossover was one of the biggest ever in comics, but had its share of problems; for example, delayed issues caused the planned reading order to change almost monthly, so much that the finalé, planned to take place in ''Fire from Heaven'' #2, had to take place in '' Deathblow'' #28. Also, mandated participation in the crossover meant that many writers had to stop their own storylines to follow the storyline of the crossover. This had the side effect that none of the issues involved were self-contained and readers had to buy the whole crossover to understan ...
