Written and Illustrated by Norman Marsh Considered the first comic book with original material ever produced, 1933’s Detective Dan, Secret Operative No. 48 was a landmark. It only lasted one issue before morphing into the Dan Dunn newspaper strip. At first a blatant copy of Chester Gould’s Dick Tracy, Dan Dunn quickly developed into an exciting and compelling series starring a rough and tumble Secret Service agent who exacted violent retribution on any criminal who dared cross his path. This book reprints the entire first year of daily comics. Edited and Designed by Dean Mullaney / Introduction by Bruce Canwell / 11.5” x 4.25” / hardcover / B&W / 344 pp / ISBN 978-1-63140-855-7
