I've got BLACK MASK BOYS ordered. I notice that some story
collections don't have original publish dates for the
stories. Does this book have publish dates? Are there many
stories from pre-1930? I remember Bill Crider recently
mentioning an anthology (a Black Mask one, I believe) that
only had a couple pre-1930 stories.
And now I'm trying to think of who was writing hardboiled in
Black Mask before 1930. These are some (I think):
Norbert Davis Dashiell Hammett Carroll John Daly Raoul
Whitfield Erle Stanley Gardner Frederick Nebel Robert Leslie
Bellem John K. Butler
Are there any mistakes? Are there any others? The list is
composed of some that I know of and some from a search of the
archives. Was Raoul Whitfield going by Ramon Delacorta when
he wrote the Jo Gar series? If I recall correctly, Paul Cain
didn't walk in the Black Mask door until the early 30s.
I've got a few of Hammett's pre-1930 stories in THE BIG
KNOCK- OVER. What anthologies would contain the most pre-1930
stuff from other authors?
Thanks, miker
