Milo March #1: Hangman’s Harvest
By Kendell Foster Crossen, M.E. Chaber
Milo March, a tough private eye from Denver, is sent to Aragon City (which
could be Hollywood) to help the City Betterment Committee wipe out the gangsters
and hoodlums controlling brothels, bookies, gamblers, shady nightclubs, and
the dope traffic. He just has to uncover “Mr. X,” the mystery man who’s been
raking in a tidy little income by providing protection to the Syndicate. But
can Milo accomplish that without stumbling over something even more dangerous—like
who pays Mr. X, and why?
Milo is well equipped for the job. He has plenty of gall, good looks, an
unlimited expense account, a fishtail Cadillac, and ample experience with
lawbreakers—and beautiful, willing women, of whom there are several, but only
one who is the girl next door. As March starts his snooping, he is surprised
to discover a sexy, naked blonde in his hotel room. And there are other, more
painful things complicating his life—things like beatings and fistfights and
gun battles, and a blowhe never saw coming.

Milo March #2: No Grave for March
By Kendell Foster Crossen, M.E. Chaber
In this action-packed Cold War spy adventure, Milo March—private
detective and formerOSS officer during World War II—is recruited by Army intelligenceto
carry out a dangerous mission behind the Iron Curtain. An importantBritish
diplomat has defected to East Germany, carrying with him secretsabout British
and American codes. He can also help the Communists gainaccess to a physicist
working in the British Sector on a top-secret projectthat involves tampering
with energy fields affecting the human brain―abizarre process that could
disastrously alter the nature of warfare.“Operation Berlin” demands that
Milo kidnap the diplomat before theRussians make him talk.
Disguised as an American Communist delegate to an international Peace Festival
in Berlin, Milo dashes into the Soviet Zone just as the news leaks that an
American agent is coming to the event. Surrounded by suspicious comrades,
he is congratulated on his mastery of Lenin quotes one moment, while the next
he is subjected to arrest and a torturous interrogation. Even when he scores
a point, he never knows whetherhe is fooling them or they are fooling him.
While treading this unbearable tightrope of tension, he is distracted by
two beautiful women: the sexually aggressiveblonde Frieda and the soft-eyed,
black-haired Greta, who has somesecrets of her own. Either or both of these
feminine comrades couldbe on the verge of betraying him. Although the efficient
and fearlessMilo always insists on working alone, help comes from an unexpected
quarter in the nick of time.

Luther McGavock finally settled in the Atherton Browne Agency in Memphis,
and his cases take him to small towns in the Tennessee hill-country. As an
outsider, McGavock is our tour guide to this odd world of the Deep South.

by pulp historian Will Murray.

from her ghostly mentor, the legendary Cagliostro.
But who is Sibilla really? Bit by bit, Leonardo will discover the truth,
during their travels in the disturbing shadows of enchanting cities like Paris,
Milan, Florence and Bangkok, where this mismatched but tightly-knit duo will
be confronted with the most abominable of supernatural threats...

Blood 'N' Thunder
/ Murania Press
BLOOD 'N' THUNDER VOLUME 2 NUMBER 2
Now available!
The second issue of the revived Blood 'n' Thunder opens with a special
section devoted to Jimmie Dale, alias the Gray Seal, Frank L. Packard's World
War I-vintage protagonist whose adventures in Street & Smith's People's
Magazine presaged the Depression-era hero-pulp phenomenon. Award-winning writer,
editor, documentarian, and pop-culture historian Don Hutchison makes his
first appearance in BnT with "Death to the Gray Seal!", an overview of the
legendary character. Then editor Ed Hulse offers "The Celluloid'Seal'," which
recounts Jimmie Dale's brief but tumultuous history on film.
Novelist andpulp historian Will Murray is back with "The Spicy Mrs. Schwartz,"
another of his fascinating examples of literary detective work. This time
Will trains his attention on one of Spicy Detective's most unlikely contributors.
BnT presentsa long-forgotten short story by Richard Sale, prolific fictioneer
who eventually became a Hollywood hyphenate (writer-producer-director) but
is best known for his detective yarns in the Munsey pulps. Sale's 1935 "Mellow
Drama" is a clever send-up of rough-paper magazines in general and hero pulps
in particular.
The making of Republic Pictures' episodic epic Spy Smasher (1942), based
on the popular Fawcett Publication comic book and still considered one of
the finest chapter plays ever, is fully documented in Ed Hulse's "Anatomy
of a Serial," which presents material gleaned from Republic studio files and
first-hand interviews with selected cast and crew members. This 8000-word
essay chronicles production from the 1941 licensing of screen rights to the
efforts of exhibitors to promote the serial while it was in release. Nothing
like it has ever been written by the form's historians.
That relentless researcher of all things Old Time Radio, Karl Schadow,
contributes "Avenger Addendum," a brief article that supplements last issue's
piece on the 1941 series that adapted Street & Smith's character The
Avenger.
The latest BnT also includes reviews and reference material sure to be
of interest to pulp-fiction aficionados. And, asalways, the magazine is profusely
illustrated.

Larry Kent: Call for a Corpse & Mourning Glory
Larry Kent, P.I.
Call for a Corpse
It was a game of cat and mouse right from the start. Mallory Queen, a former
State Department man who’d gone freelance, had a plan. He wanted to trade
Willis Browning, a CIA-held double-agent, to the Russians in return for a
spy named Vordak, who possessed a vast amount of information relating to Russia’s
space program.
The CIA would never willingly release its prisoner, of course, but because
Vordak was the bigger prize, Queen decided to snatch Browning away from them.
So he enlisted private eye Larry Kent—a former CIA man himself—to mastermind
the kidnap … even if it meant that Larry had to sell out some of his closest
friends to do it.
Mourning Glory
It started with the name ‘Emanuel Kadaver’ and a New York address … both
of which were written on one side of a five-hundred dollar bill. Intrigued,
Larry Kent went along discover just what his mysterious benefactor wanted.
Next thing he knew he was stranded fifteen hundred miles from home with two
whole days missing from his memory.
Who had dumped him on a lonely, humid island in the middle of the Louisiana
swamplands? Aside from Kadaver, there were only two other suspects—a tawny-haired
swamp girl named Becky, who longed to become a woman, and the mysterious Miss
Baines, whose gloomy, run-down mansion was patrolled by dogswho had been
trained not just to defend, but to kill.
Only one thing was for sure—if Larry didn’t clear himself of the neatest
frame-up he’d ever encountered, he had an appointment with the electric chair
…

The Well-Meaning Killer
THE KILLER:
With victims wrapped like garbage and thrown down well shafts, he’s labeled:
The Wishing Well Killer. AQuasimodo type, plagued by a voice in his head.
THE HEROINE:
Tenacious and eager to prove herself, her last case having left her scarred
and vulnerable, Megan McKenna’s in a race against time before the killer strikes
again. Assisting her is a FBI profiler and former lover, alongside a veteran
detective. The trio tracks a madman only to learn he is someone from Megan’s
past, someone all too willing to place her in mortal danger.
THE SCAM:
As McKenna and law enforcement throw out a net to catch the maniac, an
insidious under-the-table scam in the Maryland State foster care system,
is uncovered—a link between her case, unscrupulous lawyers, and the killer.
Fastand furious the case spins out of control.
Megan and her dog Max can't predict the killer's next move — and readers
won't guess what happens fromone unpredictable page to the next.

New on Famous (and forgotten) Fiction!
May 2020
This month we present two stories that give you a chance to compare
two authors' handling of the same basic plot.
First if Edmond Hamilton's "The Man Who Returned," a long-time
favorite for anthologists, since it, like all good stories, works on more
than one level.
Second, in a continuation of our reprinting of Julius Long, is a rarely
reprinted gem, "The Late Mourner." Read this one and savor the
gentle and moving nature of the last three paragraphs, as this is one of Long's
best stories.
April 2020
For your end of the year reading pleasure, we present to you "The Monster of Lake LaMetrie" by Wardon Allan Curtis,
as it originally appeared in the September, 1899 issue of Pearson's Magazine
(UK).
It's a fun story involving a dinosaur, possible hollow earth and the use
of a machete as a surgical tool (?). The illustrations by Stanley L.
Wood are included along with abrief introduction by Bob Gay.
December 2019

as it originally appeared in the September, 1899 issue of Pearson's Magazine

It's a fun story involving a dinosaur, possible hollow earth and the use

November 2019
Presenting another author who has been too long neglected, we have
added The Julius Long Collection and it includes not only a biography
of Long's life, but also his first published story, The Dead Man's Story.
Although Long ended his pulp career as a writer of detective fiction, his
first works were all in the horror genre and hold up quite well today.
Hope you enjoy it.
September2019
We are happy to present a previously unreprinted story by H. F.
Arnold, "The City of the Iron Cubes," as it apppearedin
the March and April, 1929 issues of Weird Tales, including theillustrations
by C. C. Senf.
Along with some additional biographical material about Arnold, there is
also an afterword following the story,where wediscuss the end of the story,
and why webelieve the twistat the endmay be the first appearance of an ending
that, today, hasbeen doneso many times, that it is considered the worst of
cliches.
July 2019
Baroness Orczy wrote many different types ofstories during her career
and "Young Muggins" shows yet another facet to her talents,
as she weaves a tale of love, selfishness and self-sacrifice inrural England.
Our reprinting appears just as it didin the May, 1906 issue of The Royal
Magazine, including theillustrationsby J. Barnard Davis. Introduction
to thestory is by Dan Neyer.
June 2019
This month we feature Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's mummy tale, Lot No. 249, including the illustrations by WilliamThomas
Smedley and an introduction by your humble scribes, Dan Neyer andBob Gay.
We've also done some behind the scenes work tomakethe site work better...do
stop by and check us out.
May 2019
Edmond Hamilton returns to ourpages with "The Man Who Evolved," direct from the pages of theApril,
1931 issue of Wonder Stories, including the Frank R. Paul illustration.
Intro by Bob Gay
Also, we found a 1953 comic book story where the plot was(*ahem*) "borrowed"
from Hamilton's original and ourunknownscribemanaged to condense the story
down to a mere 4 pages.
Read the original first, then "Evolution" which appears as it originally appearedin
Tomb of Terror #12, with the digital restoration included at noextracost.
April 2019
We are very pleased to present The Neil R. Jones Collection, which starts with an 11,000+
word biography of Jones that incorporates his words, newspaperarticles and
our research to create a long overdue portrait of thecreator of Professor
Jameson. We have also located a nearlyall of Jones' non-fiction writings
from various magazines and fanzinesand have included them, along with 5, never
before reprinted, storiesthat chart hisearly years as an author. Copiously
illustratedthroughout, wehope you enjoy it.

George McWhorter (May
10, 1931 - April 25, 2020)
George Turberville McWhorter, Jr. 88 years of age, passed away in
his sleep at Treyton Oak Towers Assisted Living Facility in Louisville, KY
on April 25, 2020.
From the ERBZine Obituary:
In 1986 George was named Curator of the Edgar Rice Burroughs Collection,
a fitting title for a man who has furthered scholarship, preserved unique
treasures, and brought worldwide attention to Burroughs. Looking toward the
future, George has established an endowment to provide continuous support
for the Edgar Rice Burroughs Memorial Collection. In 2008, he designated a
bequest for an endowed chair and curatorship. He also has been working with
Burroughs Bibliophiles on their own gifts and bequests.
School children and freshmen students, international scholars and documentary
film makers, fans and friends of Edgar Rice Burroughs, all treasure memories
of their trips "into thejungle," with George leading tours of the permanent
exhibits inthe Edgar Rice Burroughs Memorial Collection. His friends recall
Georgehauling in synthetic grass to create a jungle floor, painstakingly arranging
each artifact and vacuuming the area to ready it for visitors, working -
fueled only by coffee - for days and nights on indexes, andpainting the teeth
of a model dinosaur to make a more accurate representation.
Over the years George devoted a tremendous amount of time and personal
resources to the publishing of a new series of quarterly Burroughs Bulletins
as well as the monthly newsletter: The Gridley Wave. George gave ERBzine
permission to release electronic versions of all his Gridley Waves and to
reprint all these zines back to Issue No. 1. George's Burroughs Bulletin
was a gorgeous slick magazine with each issue devoted to an ERB title.
After reaching the end of Burroughs titles the BB Board of Directors decided
that perhaps the daunting task of publishing these magazines and newsletters
on such a regular basis should be turned over to a younger man. The job was
taken over by Henry Franke.
Leaving this labour of love that he had investedso many thousands of dollars
and man-hours over decades was exceedingly difficult, but he prided himself
in the quality and regularityof these hundreds of publications which had brought
countless ERBdevotees to the fold.
The Burroughs Collection is comprehensive in scope and significance, a
source of pride and inspiration, but Curator George McWhorter, with his affection
for each of the hundreds ofthousands of objects, and bone deep knowledge of
every detail, makesit magical.
George was well known by other ERB enthusiasts starting off their yearly
banquets with his famous call of the bull mangani! It always brought a unified
responding call from the gathered clan.
In 1999, he served as the subject matter expert for the animated Tarzan
film by Disney. No one was more well versed on everything Tarzan than George
McWhorter!

James Rollins: THE LAST ODYSSEY: A Thriller (Sigma
Force Novels) - Now available!
To save the world and our future, Sigma Force must embark on a dangerous
odyssey into an ancient past whose horrors are all toopresent in this page-turning
thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author James Rollins that combines
cutting-edge science, historical mystery, mythology, and pulse-pounding action.
For eons, the city of Troy—whose legendary fall was detailed in Homer’s
Iliad—was believed to be myth, until archaeologists in the nineteenth century
uncovered its ancient wallsburied beneath the sands. If Troy was real, how
much of Homer’s twin tales of gods and monsters, curses and miracles—The Iliad
and The Odyssey—could also be true and awaiting discovery?
In the frozen tundra of Greenland, a group of modern-day researchers stumble
on a shocking find: a medieval ship buried a half-mile below the ice. The
ship’s hold contains a collection of even older artifacts—tools of war—dating
back to the Bronze Age. Inside the captain’s cabin is a magnificent treasure
that is as priceless as it is miraculous: a clockwork gold map imbedded with
an intricate silverastrolabe. The mechanism was crafted by a group of Muslim
inventors—the Banū Mūsā brothers—considered by many to bethe Da Vincis of
the Arab world—brilliant scientists who inspired Leonardo’s own work.
Once activated, the moving map traces the path of Odysseus’s famous ship
as it sailed away from Troy. But the route detours as the map opens to reveal
a fiery river leading to ahidden realm underneath the Mediterranean Sea. It
is the subterranean world of Tartarus, the Greek name for Hell. In mythology,
Tartarus was where the wicked were punished and the monstrous Titans of old,
imprisoned.
When word of Tartarus spreads—and of the cache of miraculous weapons said
to be hidden there—tensions explode in this volatile region where Turks battle
Kurds, terrorists wage war, and civilians suffer untold horrors. The phantasmagoric
horrors found in Homer’s tales are all too real—and could be unleashed upon
the world. Whoever possesses them can use their awesome power to control the
future of humanity.
Now, Sigma Force must go where humans fear to tread. To prevent a tyrant
from igniting a global war, they must cross the very gates of Hell.

Meteor House
Philip José Farmer’s Up from the Bottomless Pit, originally
written in the late 1970s with the working title The Dragon’s Breath, is a
near-mainstream novel about the ultimate ecological nightmare. Set in an alternate/near
future 1970s, Up from the Bottomless Pit tells of a world so ravenous in
its desire for oil that it has thrown caution to the wind. Using anexperimental
deep-water laser drill off the California coast, humankind burns a hole through
the ocean floor only to unleasha deadly torrent that initially threatens
the greater Los Angeles area, but quickly escalates to a catastrophe of worldwide
proportions with the potential to wipe out all life on the planet.
The novel wasn’t quite what Del Rey was looking for at the time, so Phil
instead turned in Dark is the Sun (set fifteen billion years in the future).
Fast forward to 2005 and the team here at Meteor House was launching the fanzine
Farmerphile: The Magazine of Philip José Farmer. We serialized the
novel over the first 10 quarterly issues between 2005 and 2007. At $11 per
issue, it cost over $100 to read the novel. In 2007, Subterranean Press published
Up from the Bottomless Pit and Other Stories, collecting all of Phil’s material
from Farmerphile in a deluxe limited edition of only 250 copies. But, at
$125, it again cost over $100 to read this book.
This is theFarmer novel you’ve heard about but never got to read! Now,
available for the first time ever in a trade paperback edition, you can get
Up from the Bottomless Pit for only $20(+shipping).
Featuring cover art by Keith Howell, a foreword by Farmerphile editor Christopher
Paul Carey, and an introduction by award winning environmental writer Sharman
Apt Russell!
Be sure to select the correct shipping option below. Books will be shipped
to you in August 2020 right after FarmerCon XV!
Trade paperback, 5.5 × 8.5 inches, 250 pages
U.S.: $24.00
Canada: $36.00

Meteor House
Philip José Farmer fans know that he was fascinated with 19th century
explorer and author Sir Richard Francis Burton. Farmer made Burton the protagonist
of the Hugo winning novel, ToYour Scattered Bodies Go, the first book in the
Riverworld series.In Gods of Riverworld, the final book in the series, Peter
JairusFrigate (Farmer’s fictional stand in) said that he had written a biographyof
Richard Burton but that Fawn Brodie’s biography of Burton came outbefore
Frigate could get his published. When asked about this in theearly 2000s,
Phil said, “I was going to write a biography of Burton but Fawn’s biography
came out. It seemed to be pretty definitive so I decided not to write more.”
The biography Farmer did write about Burton starts in 1855, when Burton
was thirty-four years old and on an expedition to find the source of the Nile.
As for its origin, Phil explained, “This was written for what was called a
‘Men’s Magazine.’ I think the magazine was titled Gonads, but I am probably
wrong. Anyway, for reasons unknown, the article was rejected and so went into
the proverbial trunk.”
A Rough Knight for the Queen stayed in that trunk for decades until Farmer
sold the original unpublished manuscript and it eventually wound up in the
hands of collector Craig Kimber. When Paul Spiteri and Michael Croteau were
putting together Pearls from Peoria, a massive compilation of Farmer rarities
published bySubterranean Press in 2006, Craig sent them a copy of the manuscript
to include in the collection.
Now Meteor House brings you Farmer’s 26,000 wordbiography of Burton in
both an affordable trade paperback and ina signed limited hardcover.
Both editions feature introductory material by Mick Walton (author of Sir
Richard Burton and His Circle), Mark Hodder (author of the Burton and Swinburne
novels) and Paul Spiteri (editor of Pearls from Peoria).
The hardcover limited edition will be signed by Walton, Hodder, Spiteri,
and cover artist Charles Berlin.

Forged in war, The Phantom Detective wages a one-man battle on crime!
Solving impossible mysteries and delivering his own justice, he is the underworld’s
masked nightmare!
Murder, theft and arson are the weapons of a monarch of crime who wages
a desperate campaign of terror against America’s automotive industry!

Desperate to find his place
in the world and to help others, millionaire and war veteran Richard Curtis
Van Loan follows a suggestion made by Frank Havens, hisfather’s friend, and
solves a crime that local police can’t. Inspiredby his success, Van Loan sets
himself on a path to become the world’sgreatest crimefighter. Following a
regimen of his own design, VanLoan not only trains himself to be in excellent
physical shape, healso pursues the skills necessary to deal a crushing blow
to the underworld.Learning all that he could about crime detection and the
various sciencesassociated with it, including forensics and psychology, Van
Loan turnedhimself into a master detective. He also went to great lengths
to becomean expert in both escaping any situation and in concealing his identitythrough
disguises, making him a veritable phantom, impossible to identify.Hence, The
Phantom Detective was born.
After undertaking several cases that were as much adventures he survived
with luck and disguises and then delving into mysteries that tested his abilities,
The Phantom became world renowned amongst men on both sides of the law. Because,
however, no one knew his true identity, that is except for Frank Havens, the
masked man carrieda personal calling card, a platinum badge cast in the shape
of thedomino mask, like the one he wore on his face. In this way, law enforcementand
lawbreakers alike knew they were dealing with the real Phantom Detective!
‘The Torch of Doom’ was originally published in the February 1937 issue
of The Phantom Detective Magazine and is read with pulse pounding intensity
by award winning voice actor Milton Bagby.

G-8 and His Battle Aces #43 Audiobook
Vultures of the White Death
by Robert J. Hogan
Read by Nick Santa Maria
Now available!
They called G-8 the Flying Spy. History never recorded his exploits—and
for good reason! No one would ever believe World War I was that wild!
Like the rain it came, but unlike the rain it wasnot a blessing. Death,
fierce gruesome death, which clings tothe flesh and claims it for its own
— Death from which there is noescape rains down through the skies of War.
What sick mind was behindthis? Whose was the courage to meet this madman’s
scourge? When G-8walks among the living dead, there is a reason for his madness.
Thereis a purpose to his sacrifice that is greater than any man’s life —a
purpose that he hopes will solve the greatest mystery of the War!

Despite the Great Depression,Popular
Publications was booming in 1933. Part of their Autumnexpansion plans entailed
launching The Spider, and a title to beaimed at the legions of readers who
drank up fictionalized accountsof pilots gracing the skies and keeping the
world safe below whilefighting and dying above.
Robert J. Hogan was doubtless the first writer publisher Harry Steeger
considered when casting about for a suitable scribe for this title, Hogan
being one of Steeger’s favorites in the Popular stable. The designated author
would have to know his rudders andailerons—and be reliable. Hogan had been
an air cadet during WorldWar I, though he saw no combat.
Hogan’s idea was part Eddie Rickenbacker and part What Price Glory?— a
play focused on the horrors of war as counterpoint to comradeship in the
trenches. Only in this case, by horror, Popular Publications meant something
far more horrific than mustard-gas trench warfare atrocities.
Nick Santa Maria brings G-8, Nippy and Bull to thrilling life in their
desperate struggle to defeat a deadly nemesis unlike anything they have ever
before encountered in ‘Vultures of theWhite Death’. Originally published
in the April 1937 issue of G-8and His Battle Aces magazine.
Nick DeGregorio composed the music for the G-8 andHis Battle Aces series
of audiobooks.

Total Pulp Experience. These
exciting pulp adventures have been beautifully reformatted for easy reading
as an eBook and features every story, every editorial, and every column of
the original pulp magazine.
G-8 and his Battle Aces rode the nostalgia boom ten years after World War
I ended. These high-flying exploits were tall tales of a World War that might
have been, featuring monster bats, German zombies, wolf-men, harpies, Martians,
and even tentacled floating monsters. Most of these monstrosities were the
work of Germany’s seemingly endless supply of mad scientists, chief of whom
was G-8’s recurring Nemesis, Herr Doktor Krueger. G-8 battled Germany’s Halloween
shock troops for over a decade, not ceasing until the magazine folded in the
middle of World War II. G-8 and his Battle Acesreturn in vintage pulp tales,
reissued for today’s readers in electronic format.

Sexton Blake and the Great War (Sexton Blake Library
Book 1) - Now available!
by Mark Hodder (Editor)
As brilliant as Sherlock Holmes. As daring as James Bond. Sexton
Blake, the adventuring detective, is back! This first volume of a new series
reinstates one of literatures greatest detectives - back in print for the
first time in decades!
For nearly a century, Sexton Blake was the most written about character
in British fiction. He starred in approximately four thousand stories by nearly
two hundred authors. A cross between Sherlock Holmes and Indiana Jones, he
was a publishing phenomenon, read by young and old alike.
Paperback: 430 pages
Publisher: Rebellion
Product Dimensions: 5 x 8 inches
List Price: $11.99
A killer blend of James
Bond, Indiana Jones, and Sherlock Holmes (then wrapped inside a riddle, wrapped
in an enigma), Blake — with his awesome bullet-proof Rolls-Royce and Moth
monoplane — is known for his epic adventures and daring exploits. Assisted
in all of this daring-do, of course, by his trusted side-kicks Tinker and
his remarkable hound Pedro, the detective has been adored by readers of all
ages.
After being largely forgotten for decades, this major new collection heralds
a triumphant return that not only celebrates Blake, but also serves as the
perfect introduction to the charismatic detective for a whole new generation
of readers. Featuring tales of derring-do, espionage and exploration, the
stories track Blake’s perilous adventures across Europe as he attempts to
solve a host of classic crimes; from an encounter with a duplicitous German
Kaiser to escaping a firing squad!
April 16th 2020 with Sexton Blake and the Great War: volume one (curated
by author Mark Holder) features three stories from World War 1 and the
lead up to it: The Case Of The Naval Manoeuvres by Norman Goddard (1908),
On War Service by Cecil Hayter (1916) and Private Tinker by William Murray
Graydon (1915).
Rebellion will also be publishing five further landmark volumes in 2020,
each with a fantastic art deco style cover, including:
Sexton Blake Versus The Master Crooks (June 2020)
Sexton Blake’s Allies (August 2020)
Sexton Blake on the Home Front (October 2020)
Sexton Blake’s New Order (December 2020)
