Recently Duane noted that:
"Interestingly enough, Dent's best HB work -- for BLACK MASK
--
appeared in two stories featuring a character named Oscar
Sale. Dent
scholar Will Murray -- I think it was Murray -- has suggested
that
Dent named the character for Richard Sale, either consciously
or not,
because he admired Sale's work."
It may be that Duane and Murray are right about Dent's naming
his PI
character after Richard Sale, but, in the interests of
accuracy, the
character's name is spelled differently. It's Oscar Sail. -
