So far, the main comics stories, whoever is
writing, are treated as "real" and to be
mentioned in the books.  There are short,
mostly one page "Tales from the Folly"
pieces, which are basically jokes.
Distributed differently in comics issues
and paperback collections are nice, mostly
!real-world factual articles about the
story background, at least some of which are
credited to Postmartin.  Some or all of the
comics can also be got as e-book editions.
I don't know if that includes all of those
features.

So there's an antique "haunted" car around,
and I'll say a law firm of The Little
Crocodiles club that shows up in whichever
book it is where Nightingale decides to deal
with that - they're in _Detective Stories_
first, a series and collection of Peter's
unseen cases, mostly with Lesley May, which he
is presenting as evidence for a promotion of
rank to Detective Constable.
