(Of course there are!)
I'm doing a critical bibliography about the pulp fiction and
the hardboiled crime published in Finland. I've been studying
the most famous Finnish pulp magazine Seikkailujen Maailma
(The World of Adventures), which printed many American pulp
writers, including Chandler, Daly, Frederick Nebel and so on.
But there are also lots of other writers whose names don't
mean anything to me and I can't find any information about
them. Can somebody help me with these guys? Any information
will do. And if you feel this doesn't interest the average
Rara-Avis-reader, you can mail privately to me (jurnum@utu.fi). (There are
also some questions at the end of the list for the Swedish
and German readers - pay attention!)
And here are the writers (the list is quite long, try to bear
with it):
John Kobler Richard Dermony Jim Kjelgaard Erasmus Grave(s)
R(obert?) Martin Robert Turner Charles Larson John Whiting
John Lawrence G. Bogart (there seems to have been William G.
Bogart - is this the same guy?) W(oosnam?) Mills J.O.
Quinliven J.J. (des) Ormeaux Emile C. Tepperman George Bruce
George Alden Edson H.M. Appel Edward S. Williams James
Henderson Franklin H. Martin H. Miller G. Rosenberg Henry
Herbert Knibbs Gordon MacGreagh William Chamberlain K(en?)
Lewis D.L. Champion laurence Donovan
And more questions: whose hero is PI Joe Portugal (or
Portugal Joe)?
(There were many stories printed in Seikkailujen Maailma
without the writer's name.)
Did the famous horror and gothic writer and publisher Joseph
Payne Brennan write hardboiled stuff in the early 50's as Joe
Brennan?
And this is for the Swedes and Germans:
was there a pulp magazine published in Sweden or Germany in
1930's to 1950's called The World of Adventures which
published mainly American writers? I don't know where the
Finnish magazine got their stuff (I just can't believe they
read Black Mask here in Finland) and this could be the
explanation and the stories were translated from Swedish of
Germany.
Thank you for your trouble and help, I'm very grateful for
any information about these matters (and there still would be
lots to come - beware!).
