Fantastic find. Truly remarkable, as I've just been recently searching for this extremely rare Platinum Age forerunner of comics. Much appreciation and extreme gratitude to Rupp's Comics, Rangerhouse and Yoc!

I found this comic to be pretty amazing. The art is good and the pace of the story keeps it moving at a good speed building up to the climax. This truly is a historical gem. Hopefully the other two comics from Humor are scanned and made available to us one day.

NotesHumor Publishing Co. is the publisher given in Denis Gifford's The American Comic Book Catalogue: The Evolutionary Era, 1884-1939. Wikipedia, in its Superman article, gives the publisher as Consolidated Book Publishing. Denis Gifford's The American Comic Book Catalogue: The Evolutionary Era, 1884-1939 gives the page count as 36 pages. Gifford Also notes that the character would later become better known as "Dan Dunn: Secret Operative 48". The text piece ""The White Cat Murder" has a half-page illustration (signed "Marsh") on the first page. It was part of the contest advertised on the front cover. Entrants had to "state by whom the murders [that took place in the story] were committed and the motives" in 500 words or less. Deadline for entries was July 1, 1933. "Wu Fang, King of the Dope Smugglers" is a full page ad for the next issue appearing on the inside back cover. It consists of one page from the aforementioned story with advertising copy superimposed over it.
