    Black Book Detective Magazine:   (about)
    Black Book Detective Magazine was a fairly average pulp until it introduced the character of The Black Bat crimefighter in the July 1939 issue. He featured in about 60% of the magazine’s issues and was directly responsible for the magazine surviving into the early 1950s, long after most detective pulps.
