Sunday Morning Bonus Pulp: Spicy Detective Stories, June 1934


Egad! Is this a Weird Menace pulp or a detective mag? Either way, that's a mighty eye-catching cover. This is the second issue of SPICY DETECTIVE STORIES and features the first Dan Turner yarn by Robert Leslie Bellem, who also has a story in here under his pseudonym Jerome Severs Perry. There are also two stories by Norman A. Daniels, one under his own name and the other as by Robert Marks. And since all the other authors in this issue are credited with five stories or less, it's likely that most or all of those are house-names and that Bellem and/or Daniels wrote most of those stories as well.
