{"product_id":"velda-ron-miller-9780996030663","title":"Velda: The Complete Velda, Girl Detective Volume Two","description":"My name is Velda Bellinghausen. I'm a private investigator. I used to be a showgirl at Slotnik's Follies, but I got pretty sick and tired of shedding my clothes twice a day, four times on weekends for matinees. So I followed up on an ad I saw on a matchbook cover and sent in my twenty bucks for the Hawkshaw Course on Detection. It was the best twenty bucks I ever spent, too  In no time at all, I had my license and was in business for myself  Now I'm called upon to investigate murders, burglaries, and all sorts of crimes occurring in the big city. Velda: Girl Detective is a multi-leveled representation of the more lurid of the 1950s crime comics as if it actually existed as a classic Golden Age comic. A passing homage to the noir films and hard-boiled detective school of writing of the 1950s as it includes vintage ads as well as side story featurettes such as \"Hawkshaw Hawk, Bird Detective\" and \"Neolithica: Girl of the Pleistocene.\" In this second volume, stories of Velda's exploits continue in Velda \"Goes to the Circus\" and \"Goes to Hollywood\" plus Velda hypnotized, visiting a dude ranch, and Velda against a crazed strangler. See the action tales of a burlesque queen who became a private eye. As a special bonus, this volume contains Velda's calendar pinups\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ron Miller\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0996030662\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780996030663\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Caliber Comics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/04\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.53lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.28d","brand":"Ron Miller","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43980793151743,"sku":"9780996030663","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c723a924-064f-44a2-b9fa-98736deb4ede.jpg?v=1683251919","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/velda-ron-miller-9780996030663","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
