Even late in the pulp era, you could still find some mighty good reading in the magazines that remained. This issue of DETECTIVE TALES features stories by John D. MacDonald, Hugh B. Cave, Cornell Woolrich, and Leslie Turner White, along with lesser-known authors Dan Gordon, Don James, and P.B. Bishop. Granted, the Cave, Woolrich, and White stories are reprints from DETECTIVE FICTION WEEKLY, but hey, if you've never read a story before, it's as good as new to you, right? I don't know who painted this cover, but it's pretty effective, too.

Indeed, DT looked better in its last years. Here's what Luminist Archives has up, including this issue: https://readitfree.org/PU/DT.htm
Cover artist: Walter Popp, maybe?
b.t.
I don't know, but Walter Popp seems like a good guess to me. I looked inside the issue at the link Todd provided (thanks, Todd!) and the cover artist isn't listed on the TOC. I swear, I could spend the rest of my life just reading pulps that have been posted on-line, and I'd never run out of them.
