Spade is simply the amoral $@& that you want on your side.
Archer is just too much in his own head.
I would describe Mike Hammer as more of an avenging angel than Marlowe.
Marlowe: Failed English Professor
Archer: Whiner
Spade: Bully
Shell Scott: The kind of guy we all want to hang out with.
I can agree with you about Marlowe, but I'm not so certain about the other two. What are your criteria?
Spade = The Blond Devil
Marlowe = The Avenging Angel
Archer = The Christ Figure
