Nominated for a Bouchercon Anthony Award. The definitive story of
the emergence of the post war publishers, with an introduction to
pre-war publishers. Extensive coverage of: the emergence of
Panther, Corgi, Pan and others from the fly by night post war
publishing world; the mystery surrounding publishers such as Scion,
Gannet, Muir Watson, Brown Watson, R&L Locker, Harborough and
many, many more; the search for the origins of those many
pseudonyms and house names, such as Griff, Hank Janson, Ben Sarto,
Vector Magroon, Volsted Gridban, Roland Vane, Dale Bogar. The story
of the entanglement of publishing with a sleazy underworld and the
complete low down on the Hank Janson Obscenity Trials. Also a run
down on the 1950s comics purge, the superb artists of the period --
Reginald Heade, Ron Turner, Denis McLoughlin, James McConnell, Perl
-- with prime examples of their work, and interviews and comments
from the authors and publishers of the era. A superb book that
documents Steve Holland's many years of research in a one
well-illustrated authoritative volume. All the information is
illustrated by many black and white and colour illustrations of
those great paperback covers.
