Sally the Sleuth, by Adolphe Barreaux (1935)
Adolphe Barreaux studied at the Yale School of Fine Arts and at the Grand Central Art School. He was the owner Majestic Studios (1936-1953), and co-owner of Trojan Publishing (1949-1955). For Spicy Detective Stories, he created the character 'Sally the Sleuth' in 1934. Barreaux drew the comic until 1942, when several other artists had their turn on the strip. His other pulp credits from the 1930s to the 1950s include 'Dan Turner'. He has done comic book art for Ace ('The Black Spider', 'The Raven'), DC/National ('The Magic Crystal of History', 'Tad Among the Pirates'), Dell ('Enchanted Stone'), Fox ('Flip Falcon', 'Patty O'Day') and Worth ('The Blazing Scarab', 'The Dragon's Teath').
