Thanks for the welcome.
I'm collecting all of Detective Fiction Weekly and its
predecessors and successors plus all the major digests like
Queen, Hitchcock, Saint, Manhunt etc.
Then I collect most other pulps by the author's stories,
thanks to Cook & Miller's Mystery, Detective and
Espionage Fiction, a great pulp index. The hard-boiled
authors I collect are Daly, Hammett, Chandler, Norbert Davis,
Frederick Nebel, H. McCoy, J. Allen Dunn, Judson Philips,
Paul Cain, Wm. McGivern, Woolrich and many more.
As a Bill Crider fan, I collect Richard Sale and Milo Ray
Phelps plus Gardner's Lester Leith stories for humor
also.
For affordable pulps, I recommend Detective Fiction Weekly.
Many of these can found in the $10 - 20 range. I wrote an
article about these for Steve Lewis' Mystery File ezine. The
article can be accessed at
www.mysteryfile.com/DFW/DFW.html
Did I join too late or was Robert Leslie Bellem's Dan Turner,
Hollywood Detective, not mentioned in the hard-boiled parody
list? Although these were pulps stories, there are a
half-dozen or more book collections and a movie done in the
last 10-15 years
