It would be a Crime not to post your Detective Pulps 6 6

This one's interesting -- printed in silver ink. Shiny.

The Whisperer -- great name for a mystery character. Kind of a poor man's Shadow I guess?

Nice lush colors on this one...

I think that's the first appearance of the story, predating the Dell 10c.

Ok, now I gotta look into it... 

Found this:

https://noirencyclopedia.wordpress.com/2018/05/12/book-the-case-of-the-dancing-sandwiches-1951-by-fredric-brown/

"The Case of the Dancing Sandwiches was originally published in book form in 1951 by Dell as a slim, 10c volume reprinting a 1950 magazine version; it’s the Dell book that I read. Brown apparently intended to expand the novella as a novel, but never finished; there’s a 1985 edition that contains the novella and the novel fragment, plus an intro by the redoubtable Lawrence Block."

Likely Belarski on the Mystery Book cover, and my spidey senses are tingling that it's a re-use or was re-used or combines some elements of other covers, etc.

Woo, pricey paperback on the Dell o.O

also 1955 here:

The Dell 10 centers did not have map backs? Is that right? I've never seen a Dell 10 center in person...

No mapbacks on those. I have had a number of them.

2 Detective Book Magazine pulps I've never seen before!!!  I love them both............

C.G.C. graded Super Detective November 1942 pulp with a Canvas I made by sending a picture of the original painting to a copy store that was able to print the painting on a canvas 20X16.  Looks really cool and a lot cheaper than original painting, cant afford the real painting anyways....  Canvas cost around $40 to $60.  Looks really cool and love the way it came out......

Cool mag. It's on MyComicShop, just no picture. The link at philsp appears to be dead. The painted covers are most in demand
