Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Dex Parios is a very good private investigator, operating Stumptown Investigations in Portland, Oregon. Unfortunately, she's a very bad gambler and ends up owing the Confederated Tribes of the Wind Coast $17,616. Fortunately, Sue-Lynn, the head of the Confederated Tribes, will waive Dex's debt... if she will find Sue-Lynn's missing granddaughter.Add in two bad guys named Dill and Whale, one very rich, very powerful, and very connected man, and one easily broken car, shake well, and you get Stumptown.Stumptown, written by Greg Rucka and published Oni Press, consists of two limited series—Volume 1, The Case of the Girl Who Took Her Shampoo But Left Her Mini (2009), and Volume 2, The Case of the Baby in the Velvet Case (2012)—followed by an ongoing, bimonthly series. So far, the monthly series has featured two arcs. "The Case of the King of Clubs" deals with an assault on a member of the Portland soccer community, while "The Case of a Cup of Joe" has Dex being hired to transport a rare, expensive batch of civet cat coffee.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })On February 2019, it was announced that ABC had ordered a series based on the graphic novels, with Cobie Smulders cast as Dex Parios and co-starring Jake Johnson. The series debuted on September 25, 2019.

Crossover: Dex's client in volume 2, Mim Bracca, is the protagonist of Rucka's novel A Fistful of Rain, which places Stumptown in the same continuity as Rucka's Atticus Kodiak novels.

The Alleged Car: Dex has an old Mustang that's in and out of the shop. She finally totals it during "The Case of the Baby in the Velvet Case," by jumping it over a suspension bridge as it's rising, and is rewarded with a much newer model of Mustang... which promptly gets its back bumper sheared off by a random passerby.

Beauty Is Never Tarnished. Averted. Dex spends the majority of the first volume with a rather large black eye.
