Le Journal de Spirou #28/1938
"Sans titre" from Le Journal de Spirou #28/1938 (1938) delivers a gripping early mystery, penned and illustrated by Chester Gould, whose sharp storytelling and distinctive art bring this tale of intrigue to life. When Brighton Spotts, a self-proclaimed graduate of the ACME Detective Correspondence School, arrives at Layton Valley Junction with a severed index finger as proof, his claim of a recent train heist sets a tense, unorthodox investigation in motion. The cover, by Rob-Vel, captures the era’s flair, while the story’s grounded premise—anchored in a real-world setting and a single, chilling clue—lays the foundation for a suspenseful, character-driven mystery.

Brighton Spotts habite à l'embranchement de Layton Valley et veut parler d'une affaire très urgente. Il indique tout d'abord être élève diplomé de l'ACME, une école de détective par correspondance. Dick le prend pour un illuminé et est sur le point de partir lorsque Brighton sort de sa poche un mouchoir contenant un index sectionné. Il affirme qu'il s'agit de l'index d'un voleur qui a aidé à dévalisé deux wagons de marchandises sur la voie B et H à Layton Valley Junction en mai dernier.
