Sunday Morning Bonus Pulp: Speed Detective, September 1943


I haven't seen too many tennis court shootouts on pulp covers. In fact, this one painted by H.J. Ward for an issue of SPEED DETECTIVE is the only one I recall. There are some familiar names inside, including Robert Leslie Bellem (twice, once as himself and once as Jerome Severs Perry, one of my favorite pseudonyms), Laurence Donovan (as Larry Dunn), house-names William Decatur and Randolph Barr, and Harold de Polo and Arthur Feldman, both real names as far as I know. There's a story by Lloyd Sanders, too, but it's his only credit in the Fictionmags Index, so he could be one of the Trojan Publications regulars. Or not.
