Creig Flessel cover
Detective Comics #10 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, and Cosmo, the Phantom of Disguise. There's also "To Sink the Atlantis" featuring Bart Regan, Spy —although his partner Sally Norris takes the lead in this adventure.
