Dan Turner, Hollywood Detective started off as “pure” Dan Turner, printing half-a-dozen Dan Turner stories in each issue, most reprinted from Spicy Detective (often with changed titles and a degree of rewriting). With the September 1943 issue the title changed to Hollywood Detective and the magazine started featuring other writers as well, although still retaining a couple of Dan Turner stories (and a Dan Turner comic strip) in each issue.
