Velda: Girl Detective

Velda: Girl Detective - Volume 1 is a multi-leveled parody representation of not only the more lurid of the 1950s crime comics but of comic collecting itself. This series is also more than a passing homage to the noir films and hard-boiled detective school of writing of the 1950s. Purporting to be an anthology of all the issues of a little-known golden age comic, it includes a history of the creation of the Velda; Girl Detective comic, an interview with its creator and an episode list of the "Girl Detective" TV show as well as special features such as vintage ads and featurettes "Hawkshaw Hawk, Bird Detective" and "Neolithica: Girl of the Pleistocene."

"Hubba Hubba!" - Kevin Burton Smith, thrillingdetective.com.

"A pulp classic! If you like your action gritty, yet full of surprises, then you'll love Velda..." - Rick Overton (writer, Dennis Miller Show, actor).

"The Velda Comic is spectacular. I felt like I was a kid again as it had the real flavor of the old detective comics I used to read." - Bob Burns
