Keen Detective Funnies #1
"Doc's Orders" kicks off in Keen Detective Funnies #1, a 1939 10-cent gem from Centaur, where detective work meets rural suspense. With help from civilian Henry Powell, the case leads the detectives on a trail to a remote cabin in the north woods, hunting the elusive 7-11 Gang. Written, drawn, and inked by Tony Basso, the story unfolds with crisp, early comic energy, while the cover by Terry Gilkison captures the tension with a striking, period-accurate image.
