Sunday Morning Bonus Pulp: Dan Turner, Hollywood Detective, January 1942


This is the first issue of the reprint pulp DAN TURNER, HOLLYWOOD DETECTIVE, which features, as you might guess, reprints of Dan Turner stories by Robert Leslie Bellem. This particular issue has seven stories originally published in SPICY DETECTIVE STORIES and PRIVATE DETECTIVE STORIES in 1935, '36, and '37, plus an eye-catching cover with a half-dressed redhead. I'm a long-time fan of Bellem and Turner (and sexy redheads), so that sounds great to me.
