Sally was one of the first original content comic strip figures. She originally appeared in Spicy Detective stories, a magazine geared to red-blooded, he-man, American males. Often, it was sold under the counter. Modern comic strips arrived because features like "Sally The Sleuth", "Diana Daw", and "Dan Turner: Hollywood Detective" generated so much mail and favorable response that the pulp industry decided to try publishing just the comics and dumping the pulp stories. The rest, as they say, is history. Sally is not particularly deep and her early adventures are not especially well drawn but she remains an engaging figure (pardon the pun). The strip can be summarized in three sentences. Sally investigates. Sally loses her clothes. Sally is rescued. Assisting her is the kid sidekick Peanuts and coming to her rescue in most cases, is the chief. Along the way, we encounter all manner of "politically incorrect" mayhem. For me, the most stunning is a strip from September 1936. Sally is caught by a female baddie who promptly has Sally stripped and subjected to the lash in an attempt to get her to talk. Upon her rescue, Sally says, "Gee Chief,I've heard some girls liking to be whipped, but I'll take vanilla!!" I had NO IDEA that BDSM concepts were already a part of the vernacular at that early date. It goes a long way in explaining why Sally ends up bound so many times. Grandpa was a lot randier than popular culture and sanitized history would have you believe! That said, I would recommend this book only to those with an interest in early comic strips, Men's spicy magazines, or a want to get a sense of a previous generation's flavor of kink.. '

as advertised
Some hilarious cartoons from the 30s,I guess they were pretty risqué for their time, tame by todays standard. Sally always manages to lose her clothes.
About twenty years ago, I read the entry for Sally the Sleuth in Ron Goulart's Encyclopedia of American Comics. More recently, I actually got to see the comic when a few episodes were reprinted in a pulp anthology. I wondered if there was anything specific to Sally, checked out , and sure enough, an outfit called Pulpville Press brought out this edition a few years ago. Sally the Sleuth was a comic that ran in the pulp magazine Spicy Detective Stories from 1934 to 1942. Goulart comments "Because Sally's cases were presented in comic book format, she can be considered a pioneer of sorts. The first regular original-material comic books--New Fun and New Comics--didn't get going until 1935, the year after her debut." It is interesting to note that the people in charge of Spicy Detective later acquired the above-mentioned comic books and from all this emerged DC Comics, so this makes Sally a distant ancestor of Superman and Batman. Sally worked in law enforcement, and while she could be tough, she faced villains who had a habit of tearing her clothes to rags. She also had to deal with bondage, torture and a grisly episode involving a cannibal serial killer who saw her as dinner (obviously, this is not a comic that is going to win awards for political correctness). She was aided by a young boy named Peanuts, who usually got away to warn their boss, the Chief, who would burst in to save Sally. Adolphe Barreaux's art is competent, but the early two-page stories have a rushed quality. When Sally was expanded to four pages, there was some improvement, but not by much. Sally the Sleuth is best recommended for those who have an interest in the early years of comic books or of erotic comics.
