HAMMETT HERALD-TRIBUNE: The Thin Man that Never Was (1937)
L.A. Times, June 8, 1936
After this Lux Radio Theatre version aired in 1936, there were rumors that a weekly series - starring everyone's favorite Nick and Nora - would soon begin. Too bad it never happened!

TOR in 3-D "Illustereo" (1953)
I'm a big fan of 3-D comics. Sadly, the ink in most of my '50s 3-D comics has faded to dampen the effect. That's also true of some of the 3-D books found on ComicBookPlus. But not all. And this classic issue of Tor works exceptionally well.
If you don't have a pair of 3-D glasses handy, that's a damned shame. But JonTheScanner, the same guy who uploaded this 3-D story, also provided a black and white version. It's nowhere near as cool, but at least you can follow the story.
Private Eye VIC FLINT Solves "The Jerce Murder" (1946)
Vic Flint was one of very few pulpy hardboiled dicks to do business in the funny papers. His daily strip ran from 1946-56, and the Sunday from 1946-65. According to Ron Goulart, his first adventure began with the line "The whole thing started late one afternoon. I was sitting in my office reading the papers about a killing." So this appears to be it. Michael O'Malley did the words, Ralph Lane the pictures. This reprint appeared in Authentic Police Cases #11, from Feb. 1951, as scanned for ComicBookPlus by Henry Peters.
