Sally the Sleuth

Sally the Sleuth, revived by Bedside Press in 2018, collects the classic newspaper strip adventures of a fearless female detective from the 1930s and '40s. Originally drawn by Adolphe Barreaux and Keats Petree, the series showcases Sally's bold, often perilous investigations in a style that blends pulp adventure with early comic strip grit. This single-issue collection matters for preserving a pioneering, pre-Code heroine who defied the era's gender norms with her resourcefulness and action-driven stories.
