The Black Dahlia Black Dahlia is an adaptation of James Elroy’s novel about the popular murder in Hollywood in the 1940s.

FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION: showcase PRESENTS: DIAL H FOR HERO
This post is Filed Under: Home page Highlights, Interviews and Columns Showcase Presents: Dial H for Hero by Robert Greenberger Sockamagee isn’t the most memorable catch-phrase you will ever find, but it’s one of the most fondly recalled aspects of the lovely Dial H for Hero series which ran in DC Comics’ house of mystery from 1966-1968.

I’ve felt it myself at times. lucky for me, I’m as old as dirt as well as have many of the essential books that I’ve always wanted. many were purchased new off the spinner racks…
