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 Masked Detective, avenger of crime, battled evil the world over. He was master of la savate, kick-boxing, in addition to being a crack shot, skilled makeup artist and ventriloquist. Beneath that mask was crime reporter Rex Parker, who worked for New York's "Comet" daily paper. With the aid of Dan Gleason of Homicide and Winnie Bligh, beauty columnist, he struck terror to every dark corner of the underworld. The magazine made its debut in the fall of 1940, at the height of the popularity of the "pulp hero" magazines. It was published for twelve issues before it was forced to close due to the paper shortages of World War II. The final issue of The Masked Detective was Spring 1943. The Masked Detective returns in these vintage pulp tales, reissued for today’s readers in electronic format.
