Goldie Vance is a comic book series created by Eisner award winning writer Hope Larson and artist Brittney Williams. It was a monthly ongoing series from 2016 to 2017, then switched to a series of original graphic novels in 2018.[1] The series centers on Marigold "Goldie" Vance, the 16-year-old daughter of the manager of a Miami resort, whose dream is to become the resort's in-house detective.[2]

Plot

Issue 1

The first issue centers around Goldie searching a necklace reported missing by guest Dieter Lugwig, uncovering a plot to escape Russian agents and sell NASA a brand new formula for rocket fuel.

Issue 2

In the second issue, Goldie and Cheryl encounter a woman in an astronaut suit washed up on a beach. Cheryl and the woman vanish shortly thereafter, and Goldie tracks their trail leading to a mysterious rogue astronaut training program.

Issue 3

Sugar Maple, Goldie's longtime rival, recruits her to find out who is sabotaging her prize race car before the big race she'll be competing in.

Characters

  • Marigold "Goldie" Vance: The protagonist of the series. Goldie is a car valet at the Crossed Palms Resort who volunteers her services as its detective. She is skilled in discovering clues, driving and repairing cars, disguises, making friends, and breaking rules.
  • Cheryl Lebeaux: Goldie's best friend, who works at the front desk of the hotel. She is a bookworm and studying to become an astronaut.
  • Arthur Vance: Goldie's father, and the manager of Crossed Palms. He is professional and seeks to keep the staff constantly busy.
  • Rob: Another valet at the hotel. He is frequently nervous and desperate, and has a crush on Cheryl.
  • Walter Tooey: The hired detective at Crossed Palms. He is frequently exasperated by Goldie's hijacking of his job, but grudgingly tolerates her for the results she gets.
  • Diane: A record seller at Wax and Wane Records. After helping Goldie on the necklace case, the two begin dating.
  • Sylvia Vance: A mermaid swimmer at the local club. She and Mr. Vance are divorced. It is unclear if she has kept her married name or returned to her maiden name after her divorce from Goldie’s dad.
  • Sugar Maple: The daughter of Mr. Maple, the owner of Crossed Palms. She is rich, a competitive racer, and very hot-tempered. She and Goldie have been bitter rivals every since they were children.

Film

Simpson Street for Fox will produce a movie based on the comic. Rashida Jones will write and direct the movie, while Kerry Washington will produce it.[2]
