Philip Marlowe
Philip Marlowe () is a fictional character created by Raymond Chandler. Marlowe first appeared under that name in "The Big Sleep", published in 1939. Chandler's early short stories, published in pulp magazines like "Black Mask" and "Dime Detective", featured similar characters with names like "Carmady" and "John Dalmas".
Some of those short stories were later combined and expanded into novels featuring Marlowe, a process Chandler called "cannibalizing" but is more commonly known in publishing as
malfunction traps Jean-Luc Picard, Data, and Beverly Crusher in a 1940s Dixon Hill detective story holodeck program. Dixon Hill is an homage to such characters as Philip Marlowe and Sam Spade, among others.
- In "Kamen Rider W", Sokichi Narumi gives Raito Sonozaki the name "Philip" due to his fondness of Philip Marlowe.
- "Smart Philip" (2003): Crime comedy inspired by Chandler's work with Tomáš Hanák as Philip Marlowe.
