Hardboiled, October 1936

First issue

From the back:

We promise it next month—more Harwood in “Broad-way Etching”!
Aren’t you utterly fed up with blurbs about how stupendously wonderful next month’s issue will be? Desiring to save you from that sort of Hollywood-ish boredom, we’ll let it go by stating that Hardboiled for November is not half bad —it will probably entertain you quite a little. And in spite of our ingrowing modesty, Hardboiled will be the best buy on the stands.

Club 17

The Story of A Cop and A Call Girl

From the back:

ONE DANGEROUS HOUR
It was Mike Riordan’s night on the town. All he wanted was one hour with a Club 17 girl! Joan Knight was willing to be bought. But when it came time to play, she gave Mike the big freeze.
Then Mike kissed her — and forgot who she was or why he was here. He knew only that he had fallen in love with this beautiful stranger. Too late he remembered what he had to do. For she was a call girl and he was the cop who had to bring her in!
