Detective Comics #13 reflects the title's roots in pulp magazines, with Creig Flessel then getting steady work for his tough-guy classic covers that fired the imagination of young readers. The interior stories feature what became the Detective roster of two-fisted heroes including Speed Saunders, Larry Steele, Bart Regan, and Cosmo, the Phantom of Disguise. The issue is also acclaimed for "The Pine Road Mystery," an innovative crime tale told in a unique multi-narrative style by Russell Cole.
This 7.5 Detective Comics #18 has been moderately restored to preserve a legendary cover of the Golden Age, while maintaining all the book's original look and feel. This scarce title is typical of the Golden Age gems found in the Ruben Blades Collection, with only 26 copies listed in the CGC Census — and is part of this collection's extraordinary run of Detective Comics .
