It is an excellent story.<br /><br /><br />Other names that are familiar:<br /><br />Erle Stanley Gardner is listed in _All Detectives_ Think he had some stories about a lawyer, didn't he? [G]<br /><br />Another name that jumped out and surprised me is Murray Leinster on the Black Bat cover. I know him as an SF writer and didn't know he wrote mysteries also. Of course, many of them wrote for various pulps--SF, mysteries, and maybe even westerns.Fredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10233846613173866140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-35424252184338666892012-01-12T21:39:25.897-05:002012-01-12T21:39:25.897-05:00Wouldn't you just love to go back in a time ma...Wouldn't you just love to go back in a time machine and buy up old magazines and comic books?<br /><br />As an illustrator who did a lot of work pre-computer, I appreciate the hand-lettered titles of all these publications.

Then there was a big dance. Dorothy Malone and Shirley MacLaine were the models.

I'm stumped on the other one, though - I can only think of three red-headed comedians, Red Buttons, Red Skelton and Lucille Ball - and I don't know if any was involved in a movie that meets your criteria.

(1942) w/ Abbott & Costello<br />Though I know it's primarily about a radio mystery show maybe there was something about a pulp magazine I forgot.<br /><br />Love these. I used to collect some of these until the prices became outrageous. You can still find Detective Story magazine for reasonable prices - one of the few that has a lot of great authors who never wrote novels so it's well worth investigating them. But Dime Detective, Spicy, and the early Black Mask magazines in colectible condition generally start at $60 and only go up from there. That put an end to my small bit of collecting pulps. But I do I like that so many of the Doc Savage and Shadow magazines have been reprinted and now are available in places like Half Price Books for really cheap prices.J F Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473487417479127354noreply@blogger.com
