Book Description
Robert Leslie Bellem was a prolific American writer who wrote in a variety of genres and for many pulp magazines, especially those of Culture Publications that included mastheads such as Spicy Detective, Spicy Adventure, Spicy Western, and Spicy Mystery. After the demise of the pulps, Bellem started writing for television and contributed scripts to shows such as The Lone Ranger, Adventures of Superman (1950s version), the original Perry Mason, 77 Sunset Strip, and others. His most famous creation was the hardboiled detective Dan Turner, Hollywood Detective, who narrates the stories in the first person in a racy, slangy style that made them very popular at the time. Bellem also wrote at least two novels, of which the best known is Blue Murder.Almost every issue of Hollywood Detective featured a "Dan Turner in Pictures" graphic story by Robert Leslie Bellem with line art by Adolphe Barreaux. KA-CHOW! includes seven such stories from the 40s: "The Murdered Mummy" (January 1943), "Zoot Suit Killers" (March 1943), "The Case of the Poisoned Puppet" (July 1943), "Killer's Chord" (June 1944), "Sinister Santa Claus" (October 1944), "The Devil's Ballet" (August 1945), and "Strangler's Ballet" (February 1942).

Book Description
The famous "weird menace" pulp magazines of the 1930s and 1940s are among the rarest and most sought-after publications by collectors. The "Spicy" magazines -- which included Spicy Mystery, Spicy Adventure, Spicy Detective, and others -- published a titilating mix of fantasy, horror, mystery, and suspense, punctuated by episodes of torture, sadism, sex, and other risque elements. Although tame by current standards, and sometimes of dubious literary merit, these publications presented tales which thrilled a sensation-hungry audience. Despite the themes and constraints of the market, writers who would later become famous -- including Hugh B. Cave, E. Hoffman Price, Robert Leslie Bellem, and many more -- were frequent contributors. The February 1937 issue features Bellem, Hugh Speer, Justin Case (Hugh B. Cave), and many others -- plus all the classic "spicy" artwork!
