Total Pulp Experience. These exciting pulp adventures have been beautifully reformatted for easy reading as an eBook and features every story, every editorial, and every column of the original pulp magazine.
The Super-Detective magazine was best known for the pulp hero Jim Anthony. Anthony was patterned after Street & Smith's popular Doc Savage. Anthony was one of the world’s wealthiest men, an amateur criminologist, a scientist, inventor, art collector, research engineer, and expert in aerodynamics. His skill at unraveling mysterious crimes made his name feared throughout the nation’s underworld.
When the magazine made its debut, Jim Anthony was not a part of it. The inaugural issue of Super-Detective Stories was March 1934. It featured standard detective stories and lasted 15 issues. After being off the newsstands for five years, the magazine returned with a slight name change. Known simply as Super-Detective, it now started off each issue with a novel containing the heroic exploits of Jim Anthony. There were twenty-five Jim Anthony novels, the last being October 1943. The magazine continued without Jim Anthony until October 1950, at which time the magazine folded. A total of 80 issues were printed, 15 in the early run, and 65 in the later series. Super-Detective returns in these vintage pulp tales, reissued for today’s readers in electronic format.
