Sunday Morning Bonus Pulp: Popular Detective, March 1936


Now there's a thoroughly bizarre cover for you. I'm not sure what's going on here, but I am certain there are some good authors in this issue of POPULAR DETECTIVE, including Hugh B. Cave, Steve Fisher, Edmond Hamilton, Barry Perowne, Emile C. Tepperman, Frederick C. Painton, and George A. McDonald. If I'd had an extra dime and nickel in my pocket back in 1936, I might've had to buy this one just to try to figure out the cover.

Probably the cover refers to the story. by Frederick C. Painyon, Narfcotic Man. Look at the smoke cloud sorting from the skull!
Best,
