Synopsis: "A comic book private eye from the early fifties, handsome, two-fisted shamus KEN SHANNON had a short run with his own comic book, after making his debut in issue 103 of Police Comics. Alas, it was not to be. As of issue #11, Ken Shannon became Gabby, a teen humor mag. Must have been quite a change from the opium den story that ran in #8.But in his short, glorious run, Ken had some fun, going up against white slavers, Oriental criminal masterminds, shrunken heads and, on one memorable occasion, vampires. Billed as "the crime-busting private eye," Ken supposedly bore more than a passing resemblance to My Three Sons' Fred MacMurray -- including a bowtie. Like the blurb says, "Uncanny, Terrifying!"Tough as Ken was (he was sometimes referred to as "The Mad Irishman!"), it seems that his plucky, red-headed gal Friday ("and any other day of the week") Dee-Dee Dawson, may have just been a little tougher. Or at least she got some of the best lines. "Not that I scare easy, Kenny, but at this moment even my goose pimples have goose pimples."
