Publication History[Edit]
Comic Book[Edit]
Dan Dunn first appeared in Humor Publishing's proto-comic book _Detective Dan: Secret Operative No. 48_, copyrighted on May 12, 1933.[1] Comics historian Don Markstein notes that this comic and the only two others from this publisher were pioneering in that they contained "non-reprinted comics in 1933", though these periodicals were not "in modern comic book format. Theirs were done as tabloids"[2] with _Detective Dan: Secret Operative No. 48_ measuring either 9 1/2 x 12-inches[3] or 10 x 13-inches[4] (sources differ), with black-and-white newsprint pages and a three-color cardboard cover.[3] It sold for 10 cents.[4]

On September 25, 1933, Publishers Syndicate began distributing _Dan Dunn_ as a comic strip that eventually peaked at 135 newspapers.[2] A Sunday color page was added not long after the daily strip's launch.[2] Marsh both drew and wrote _Dan Dunn_ from 1933–41,[5] One critic describes the artwork as the weaker aspect, calling it "arid", with a chronic, wintry aspect", "cavernous spaces" and "huddled, stiff-jointed postures."[6] Assistants included Jack Ryan c. 1937, Ed Moore c. 1937-38, and Dick Fletcher.[5]
Marsh left the strip In 1942 following a disagreement with Publishers Syndicate. Allen Saunders, the syndicate's comics editor, took over as writer from 1942–43, with art first by Paul Pinson and then by Alfred Andriola. Saunders and Andriola subsequently replaced _Dan Dunn_ with a new detective strip, _Kerry Drake_ in 1943.[7]
Dan Dunn eventually appeared in Big Little Books.[8] In 1936, Dan Dunn became the title character of a pulp magazine that lasted for two issues.[_citation needed_]
In 1944, _Dan Dunn, Secret Operative #48_ was produced as a 15-minute syndicated radio program which ran for a total of 78 episodes.[9]
Analysis[Edit]
Markstein calls the square-jawed Detective Dunn an imitation of _Dick Tracy_, blowing away criminals with the same no-nonsense resort to violence that fans liked seeing during an era of urban crime gangs. In newspapers, however, Dunn never approached Tracy's popularity.[2] The strip's successor writer, Allen Saunders, believed the comic rivaled _Dick Tracy_ in pioneering themes and techniques of the American detective comic.[7]
* please note: collecting and selling comics has been my hobby for over 30 years. Due to the hours of my job i can usually only mail packages out on saturdays. I send out first class or priority mail which takes 2-3 days to arrive in the usa and air mail international which takes 5 -10 days or more depending on where you live in the world. I do not "sell" postage or packaging and charge less than the actual cost of mailing. I package items securely and wrap well. Most pages come in an archival sleeve with acid free backing board at no extra charge. If you are dissatisfied with an item. Let me know and i wil do my best to make it right.
Many thanks to all of my 1,000's of past customers around the world.
enjoy your hobby everyone and have fun collecting!
