Ron Miller Velda: Detective - Volume 1 Paperback Book

Inspiredby the lurid comic book crime publications of the 1950s! My name is Velda Bellinghausen. Im a private investigator. I used to be a showgirl at Slotniks Follies, but I got pretty sick and tired of shedding my clothes twice a day, four times on weekends for matinees. So I followed up on an ad I saw on a matchbook cover and sent in my twenty bucks for the Hawkshaw Course on Detection. It was the best twenty bucks I ever spent, too! In no time at all, I had my license and was in business for myself! Now Im called upon to investigate murders, burglaries, and all sorts of crimes occurring in the big city. Velda Girl Detective Volume One is a multileveled representation of not only the more lurid of the 1950s crime comics but of comic collecting itself. This book is also more than a passing homage to the noir films and hardboiled detective school of writing of the 1950s. Purporting to be an anthology of all the issues of a littleknown golden age comic, Volume One includes a history of the creation of the Velda Girl Detective comic, an interview with its creator and an episode list of the "Girl Detective" TV show as well as special features. Also included are the vintage ads as well as comic features such as "Hawkshaw Hawk, Bird Detective" and "Neolithica Girl of the Pleistocene." | Ron Miller Velda: Detective - Volume 1 Paperback Book
