I'm keeping the illos from these mags to a minimum because I'm planning a book featuring all these comic artist illos moonlighting in Goodman non-comics.Doc V.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06815470072568462626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7355407830694029222.post-12984618608690336552011-01-11T20:47:12.491-08:002011-01-11T20:47:12.491-08:00A fantastic post, and I'm pleased to discover ...A fantastic post, and I'm pleased to discover this blog as a fan of comics, pulps, and magazines. I'd never have connected the Complete Detective pulp in numbering to Complete Detective Cases magazine or the Amazing Detective Cases true crime mag numbering to the numbering in the comic, as the disconnect in formats is just too blinding. It's satisfying to see at least a little sense made of Goodman's notoriously erratic numbering.<br /><br />I've nowhere near as much experience with these magazines as yourself, but for those who might want a little bit more information on Joe Simon's involvement on the true crime mags, I did a post back in 2009 which can be read here:<br /><br />http://darwinscans.blogspot.com/2009/10/complete-detective-cases-december-1940.html<br /><br />I very much enjoyed your series of posts on Marion Sitton, and it's fun to learn more about an artist who I recognize from many golden age comics and to learn what he did later in his career. I've added this blog to my "follow" list and look forward to reading more of your insights into Goodman's publishing empire.darwinationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01601838758695937728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7355407830694029222.post-59864439011543002102011-01-09T11:41:37.886-08:002011-01-09T11:41:37.886-08:00Very "interesting aside" there with Nati...Very "interesting aside" there with National Detective Cases Vol1 #1.

It ran 5 volumes from 1935 to 1949, approximately 38 issues, and then picked up again in 1952 as Volume 2 again. The BEST WESTERN comic #58 (June/49) does fit in at the approximate end of the initial pulp run but the number is all wrong. Goodman seemed to never run same named pulps and comics simultaneously. One would go on hiatus and then a different format would take over.Doc V.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06815470072568462626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7355407830694029222.post-10277629215291486062011-01-04T16:02:25.393-08:002011-01-04T16:02:25.393-08:00Doc Botany: certainly folks like Mike Tiefenbacher...Doc Botany: certainly folks like Mike Tiefenbacher suggested that back in the (gulp) 1980s, as Goodman did have a Best Western pulp. Not enough pulp collectors collect it for us to know if ran 57 issues or not, or when it stopped publication. <br />Doc V: Bravo for writing finale to these two questions.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06448770841221605525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7355407830694029222.post-67402413006743366452011-01-04T13:39:18.599-08:002011-01-04T13:39:18.599-08:00Can we hypothesize then that Best Western #58 will...Can we hypothesize then that Best Western #58 will have a similar sort of antecedent?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17517615772496947768noreply@blogger.com
