Spicy Tales (1988) #11, reprinting a story from the February 1950 issue of Super Detective
#that interesting lady reporter character from the last story wasn’t in this one#but that woman who works in real estate that gives Ray Hale critical information stands out to me#she’s just in one panel#there was the implication that the lady reporter from the last story and Ray Hale were seeing each other#there isn’t that with this brief woman estate woman#I don’t know what the demographic make-up of the real estate industry was in 1949#perhaps this character was made a woman just for the sake of having one more pretty girl in the story#these very much aren’t the sexy comics of the sexy pulps of the 30s#but evens if it’s not nearly as suggestive having pretty girls in the stories is still somewhat important#actually on that note the inclusion of an elderly woman in the story stood out to me#I wonder if that’s most office cleaners back then would have actually been women#having her be an elderly woman specifically actually removes that character from the suspect pool#had she been a young woman there would have been the question if she’d been having an affair with the murdered man#and killed him because something went wrong there#eternity comics#spicy tales#ray hale news ace#my posts#comic panels
