Mars Black is a big city private detective who works the seamy side of Grayville, a city perpetually cloaked in fog, a city without sights, a city he sometimes calls “Dullsville.” After he is hired by a man named Baker, though, things become a little less dull. The detective is perplexed by this man who looks and talks like a college professor but moves around the city with armed bodyguards. Mars is set the task of finding a character named Sailor Malloy, a seedy type who Baker says has something of his and he wants it back. Baker won't reveal what it is Sailor has, which cramps Black's efforts of finding him. He makes progress, though, and as the story progresses gets more information on the mysterious thing that Baker is actually after. He hangs out in a dive strip bar called The Time Out, like "time out" in a kid's game where cops and criminals coexist and no one brings their work there. He is frequently accosted there by a pair of homicide detectives who are incompetent louts and whom he considers to be a "bad comedy team. Things in this story get weirder and weirder to the point of surreal.

Welcome to Dullsville is written in black and white, like a 30’s gangster movie, and no word of color was used; only black and white and shades of gray.
