STEEGER BOOKS SALE, Day 3: More New ARGOSY LIBRARY Releases !!!


Day 3 (of 4) brings more good-lookin' additions to Steeger Books' ever-growing Argosy Library. I want 'em all. Top of the list today is Carroll John Daly's addition to the Hero Pulp genre. Mr. Strang is not a detective, he's a slightly-crazy vigilante driven to fight crime by a pesky bullet embedded near his brain, and he's every bit as ruthless as The Shadow and The Spider. 


Tomorrow, in the Cyber Monday Finale of this sale, BOWIE'S GOLD will make its bow, joining CROCKETT'S DEVIL on Steeger's list of titles. That will be your chance to pick up several copies of each (they'll make great Christmas presents) at 30% OFF - along with dang near every other new and old book offered at steegerbooks.com.

Forgotten Stories: SOLOMON KANE by W.C. Tuttle?? (1923)


Solomon Kane, as I'm sure you know, was one of Robert E. Howard's first major series characters. Kane, a grim-faced puritan who battled sorcery with his sword, made his first appearance in the story "Red Shadows" in the August 1928 issue of Weird Tales. But here's proof that W.C. Tuttle, the creator of Hashknife Hartley and Sheriff Henry Conroy, employed the name five years earlier here in the August 10, 1923 issue of Adventure

The two characters are as different as can be, of course, but the name figures prominently here, and it's well known that Adventure was Howard's favorite magazine. Did 17-year-old Robert E. read this one? What do you think?
