==Behind the Scenes==

In ''Who Censored Roger Rabbit?'', Eddie ~~Valiant~~ is a fictional Californian private detective hired by comic-book star Roger Rabbit to investigate the workings of Roger's corrupt employers, the DeGreasey Brothers. When Roger is found dead, and his final words having been censored out, Valiant is soon sent on the case of tracking Rogers' murderers. This first incarnation of Eddie is a heavy smoker, has a beard and is active when the book is set ([[1981]]), rather than the later, more accepted incarnation of the character.
