DETECTIVE TALES is another pretty solid detective pulp from Popular Publications. This issue features an action-packed cover by Tom Lovell and stories by Arthur Leo Zagat, George Bruce, Fred MacIsaac, Franklin H. Martin, and a pulpster better remembered for his Westerns, Tom Roan. Roan's yarn is called "Satan Covers the Waterfront", and I'll bet it's a good one.
One of my favorite pulps, I really like the ones from 1935 to 1938
ReplyDeleteIn my country, Italy, they've translated only one short story by Tom Roan, and I'm trying to discover the original title.
ReplyDeleteI give you the names of some character, please could you check and let me know if it's the same story?
The action unfolds in Seattle. Jim McCord; Angus McLaren; Frisco Jack Defoe; Philip Green alias Wilbur C. Grafton.
Thanks a lot for the help.

In my head, that’s Doc Savage wrassling with Ram Singh (for some reason, possibly a classic Marvel Misunderstanding), while Nellie Gray takes a shot at some off-stage ne’er-do-well.

Tiziano,
ReplyDeleteI don't own this copy, so I can't check the story. Sorry.
b.t.,
I really like that scenario, too.
