SAUCY MOVIE TALES - 12/36 is classified as a "girlie pulp."  The content was strickly that of a sex pulp with a Hollywood theme.  Illustrations, stories and especially the cover by Norman Saunders were sexed up.

Their insignias were signs of the Zodiac . . . they fought only when ordered by the Stars!

Produced by the same publisher as D.C. Comics, SPICY DETECTIVE STORIES was the home for Dan Turner, Hollywood Detective and a whole host of other pulp detectives. Drawing on the purple prose and sex appeal, SPICY DETECTIVE STORIES sold well enough that it took censorship to move them off the newsstands and out of business.
