Robert Leslie Bellem

Jim Anthony is no ordinary sleuth. Born of Irish and American Indian blood, heir to vast wealth and blessed with almost superhuman senses and strength, he sees in the dark like a cat, tracks like a hound, and hears what others cannot. A brilliant scientist as well, Anthony fashions uncanny inventions in his laboratory and deploys them in battles against sabotage, murder, and baffling conspiracies-for country and for justice. In these final five pulse-quickening tales by Robert Leslie Bellem and W.T. Ballard, the high-powered detective faces deadly plots from the air and the earth, ruthless killers and uncanny curses, each episode more relentless than the last. This volume collects the concluding Jim Anthony stories restored and uncut for modern readers. If you love pulp adventure, scientific gadgetry, and a hero who fights with brains as well as brawn, finish the run with Jim Anthony's grand finale.

The pulp, Super-Detective, with its adventure hero, Jim Anthony, started out as a competitor to Doc Savage. After 10 issues, the publisher turned Anthony into a hardboiled detective. This Flip Book, with a book on each side, explores both worlds. The front side is "Legion of Robots," a Doc Savage style novel from the issue of November 1940, written by Victor Rousseau. The flipside has "Murder's Migrants," a hardboiled story from March 1943, by the team of Robert Leslie Bellem and W.T. Ballard. Introductions that describe the behind-the-scenes story of Super-Detective are provided by, respectively, John McMahan and John Wooley.
