High Adventure Number 60: Dan Turner Hollywood Detective

Dan Turner's Hollywood career lasted fourteen years, starting in 1936 in the pages of "Spicy Detective Stories", and finishing with "Hollywood Detective" in 1950. Dan Turner's author, Robert Leslie Bellem, had a unique literary style that trnasported the reader into the seamy side of Tinseltown. Guns sounded Ka-Chow, and bullets were pills, or slugs, and Dan's head was described more like a conk, or a profile. Hence the following: "I went inside, elevated myself to the top floor, knocked on the Meredith portal. Nobody answered. A sudden premonition sneaked up on me. I backed off, catapulted my hundred and ninety pounds at the door, smashed it inward. And then, as I stumbled over the threshold in a shower of splinters, a roscoe inside the joint sneezed: Ka-Chow! and a bullet nuzzled my profile".
