Dan Turner, HOLLYWOOD DETECTIVE in Color! "Make-Up for Murder" (1951)


I have about 25 issues of Dan's pulp mag, Hollywood Detective, ranging from 1942 to 1950, and nary a one of them has a comic story drawn by anyone but Adolphe Barreaux. Does that mean this one, from Crime Smashers #4 of April 1951 was a comic book original? Nope, but it makes me wonder. In later issues we'll see stories that look a lot less like pulp reprints than this one. Thanks to darwination for uploading this ish to comicbookplus.

    Since everything seems to revolve around 77 Sunset Strip for me lately, I must point out that Robert Leslie Bellem worked on four sixth-season episodes, writing two of them and the teleplay for two others.

    I saw those recently. I thought Deposit With Caution had the most Bellemesque dialogue, and The Alimony League the most Bellemesque story.

    They are both good episodes, but I do want to punch Harold Stone's character in "Deposit with Caution" just for being such a schmuck.
