The Thing’s Incredible! the Secret Origins of Weird Tales – John Locke
The Thing’s Incredible! is a sweeping revisionist history of the founding of Weird Tales, one of the most influential and entertaining pulp magazines of them all. Its first two years (1923-24) was a period of tumult and controversy unequalled in the pulps, before or since, an experience so painful to its creators that they immediately banished their memories to secrecy, their code of silence suppressing the story for almost a century. Here at last is the true saga, the unraveling of the many twisted threads which have bound the creation of Weird Tales in mystery.
Who were Henneberger and Lansinger, the co-founders, and what circuitous chain of events brought about their doomed destiny? How did the first editor, the outspoken and uncontrollable Edwin Baird, become the wild man of the pulps? What dark secrets lay buried in second editor Farnsworth Wright’shaunted past that he never dared speak of? What was the significance of the constantly mutating “reorganization” that united two legends, world-famous magician Houdini and horror author H.P. Lovecraft, into a grand nexus of weird? How did Henneberger lose control of his slow-motion disaster of a magazine? And how did an all-out war behind the scenes lead to the long peace of the Wright years?
This is the grand story of the challenges in establishing a radical, new magazine in the early 1920s–and not just any magazine, but the immortal Weird Tales.

And into this viper’s nest of cruelty and horror walked a shy, plain New England girl. She needed a job, she said simply. But she had a better, bloodier reason…

The Complete Adventures of the Moon Man, Vol. 2: 1934
by Frederick C. Davis
Introduction by Andrew Salmon
One of the strangest pulp heroes is finally available from Altus Press! Created by pulp fiction legend Frederick C. Davis for the pages of the ultra-rare title, Ten Detective Aces, the Moon Man fought the forces of the underworld in 38 unforgettable tales. Volume 2 collects the next six stories from this series: “Silver Death,” “Mark of the Moon Man,” “Crimson Shackles,” “Blood Bargain,” “The Black Lash” and “The Murder Master.” And it includes an all-new introduction by Moon Man expert Andrew Salmon.
From 1933–37 pulpsmith extraordinaire Frederick C. Davis chronicled the adventures of the classic pulp hero the Moon Man in the pages of Ten Detective Aces. One of the most unique and compelling characters in the history of the genre, the Moon Man was the Robin Hood of the pulps: He stole from those who profited from the misery of the Depression to help those in need, to balance the scales of justice.
And justice was close to the Moon Man’s heart. For the Moon Man was actually police detective Stephen Thatcher—a dedicated law officer all too familiar with the cracks in the system criminals used to avoid retribution. Donning a black robe and a globe of Argus glass, Thatcher became the Moon Man, a thief who stole from criminals the law could not touch.
Now the Moon Man is hunted by his best friend and partner, reviled by his father and fiancé who all want to see the masked thief pay the ultimate price for his crimes. Stephen Thatcher must walk the razor’s edge of his double life where, every minute, the threat of exposure could shatter his fragile world.
- Silver Death: “The Moon Man must die!” Those bitter words dropped from the lips of the Moon Man himself. For the ultimatum came down from the Board of Police Commissioners to get the notorious Moon Man—or go! Facing the disgrace of dishonorable discharge was the fine old police chief—the Moon Man’s own father. Also, facing discharge was Lt. McEwen, father of the girl the Moon Man wanted to marry. “The Moon Man must die!”
- Mark of the Moon Man: The notorious Moon Man was dead—officially. He had faked his death to save his father—the police chief—and the father of his girl from the disgrace of dishonorable discharge. But now the Moon Man had to come back. Some tremendous power was forcing him to forget the chief, forget Lieutenant McEwen, and forget the girl he loved. Some power was compelling him to play the role of the lowest of two-legged rats. And the first step of that path was marked by a dying man whose jaws were locked on a horrible secret.
- Crimson Shackles: Detective Sergeant Steve Thatcher was captured by a masked band. And Steve Thatcher’s buried secret was ruthlessly dragged from its shallow grave. For Steve Thatcher was the Moon Man—the notorious criminal who robbed the rich. Secundus, leader of the masked Red Five, fettered the Moon Man with sinister shackles. And to forever seal those shackles, Secundus brought a surprise to the Moon Man. That surprise enmeshed the Moon Man in a web from which there was no escape.
- Blood Bargain: The Moon Man was on a double spot. He not only faced disastrous exposure—but was forced to watch his sweetheart steal like a common thief. He watched Sue McEwen, daughter of a police lieutenant, take active part in an amazing robbery. But the Moon Man could do nothing. For he had been forced to lead that raid. And Secundus, master of the infamous Red Four, tightened his grip on the Moon Man.
- The Black Lash: A miasma of mystery oozed from the tarmac of Great City’s airport. The Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce had chartered a plane. He was a feverishly impatient man, and his face had a strange look—as if he were grinning at an open grave. When that plane went up, the lid blew off Great City. A maelstrom of murder engulfed Detective McEwen. And that most famous of the infamous, the Moon Man, flung the gauntlet of defiance at the dread Crimson Trio.
- The Murder Master: Sue McEwen’s gun killed a man. Her own father, Lieutenant McEwen, arrested her—for murder. Then he moved heaven and earth to prove her innocence. But he was helpless against the cleverness of the murderer. Even the man she loved, Detective Sergeant Steve Thatcher, was powerless to help her. But the Moon Man—that famous of infamous prowlers—championed her cause against the Murder Master.
For the first time in decades all 38 of the Moon Man’s exploits have been collected by Altus Press in a seven-volume set.
The Complete Adventures of the Moon Man, Volume 2: 1934 by Frederick C. Davis contains the following stories:
- “Silver Death”
- “Mark of the Moon Man”
- “Crimson Shackles”
- “Blood Bargain”
- “The Black Lash”
- “The Murder Master”

by Frederick C. Davis
Introduction by Andrew Salmon
One of the strangest pulp heroes is finally available from Altus Press! Created by pulp fiction legend Frederick C. Davis for the pages of the ultra-rare title, Ten Detective Aces, the Moon Man fought the forces of the underworld in 38 unforgettable tales. Volume 3 collects the next six stories from this series: “Moon Doom,” “Calling Car 13!,” “Fingers of Fear,” “Corpse’s Alibi,” “The Sinister Snatch” and “Badge of Blood.” And it includes an all-new introduction by Moon Man expert Andrew Salmon.
From 1933–37 pulpsmith extraordinaire Frederick C. Davis chronicled the adventures of the classic pulp hero the Moon Man in the pages of Ten Detective Aces.

Stephen Thatcher must walk the razor’s edge of his double life where, every minute, the threat of exposure could shatter his fragile world.
For the first time in decades all 38 of the Moon Man’s exploits have been collected by Altus Press in a seven-volume set.
- Moon Doom: The Rattler, a vicious killer, lays his crimes at the feet of the Moon Man. And the Moon Man is hunted by the entire police force. “Get the murderous Moon Man!” is the cry. Detective Sergeant Thatcher—the Moon Man—finds himself on a hot spot. And the spot gets hotter when the phone sergeant at headquarters hears that unguarded whisper creeping in over the wire. A whisper that brands Steve Thatcher as the Moon Man.
- “Calling Car 13!” Ripping the night air came that fatal message to a fatal car—“Calling Car 13!” And it plunged Great City into a mad whirl of murder. For that prowl car was riding to the hideout of Ned Dargan, the notorious Moon Man’s assistant. Black powder scorched red blood. And Lieutenant McEwen cornered the Moon Man.
- Fingers of Fear: Dicks die hard! Gil McEwen, ace sleuth of Great City, gets kicked off the force for failing to bring in the Moon Man. Gil McEwen, whose very life’s breath is the police department, is forced to turn in his shield… and Detective Sergeant Steve Thatcher—the notorious Moon Man—has to get Gil McEwen back on the cops—without exposing himself.
- Corpse’s Alibi: The spectacular race track robbery told Lieutenant McEwen that the notorious Moon Man was a member of the police force. The Moon Man, who risked discovery and death to help the needy, was trapped by his own thumb-print. For the Moon Man was Detective Sergeant Steve Thatcher. McEwen threw a cordon around headquarters, from which there was no escape. Trapped, helpless, Steve Thatcher watched McEwen go for the file that recorded the fingerprints of every man in the department.
- The Sinister Snatch: The black shadow of a threatened kidnaping hung over the family of a wealthy newspaper publisher. Lieutenant Gilbert McEwen and the pick of the police department were on the job. Into this tense drama came a third power—the notorious Moon Man. He warned the kidnapers to lay off. The kidnapers laughed at him. McEwen swore at him. But the Moon Man—that enigma of enigmas—had never failed to keep a promise.
- Badge of Blood: The notorious Moon Man had the goods on a crooked cop, had him dead to rights. But that crooked cop also had a trump card to play in the game of death. He knew that the Moon Man was Detective Sergeant Steve Thatcher. He drove the Moon Man to a hard bargain—a bargain that made a cop wear the Badge of Blood.
The Complete Adventures of the Moon Man, Volume 3: 1934 by Frederick C. Davis contains the following stories:
- “Moon Doom”
- “Calling Car 13!”
- “Fingers of Fear”
- “Corpse’s Alibi”

Secret Agent “X” Audiobook #14
Secret Agent “X” Audiobook #13
At the end of the Depression year of 1933, tiny Magazine Publishers could see which way the pulp winds were blowing. Street & Smith had broken new ground when they launched The Shadow Magazine in 1931. Doc Savage came two years later. As did The Phantom Detective.
In the Fall of ’33 Popular Publications released both The Spider and G-8 and His Battle Aces. The public was obviously hungry for heroes. And editor Rose Wyn decided that her outfit had to offer one too!
With top writer Paul Chadwick, she brainstormed Secret Agent “X”, uncanny composite of Doc and The Shadow, with a dash of the Phantom thrown in. The first issue appeared at the end of 1933 with a February 1934 cover date. Coincidentally, the popular King Features newspaper strip, Secret Agent X-9, debuted that same month! But for that hyphenated X, lawsuits might have shut down one or the other hero.

It began with the hijacking of a destroyer from the Brooklyn Navy Yard. The stolen warship struck midtown Manhattan with her mighty guns, then vanished far out to sea.
Who were the strange raiders wearing the golden uniforms of no known power who pulled off the daring theft? And who was their mysterious leader, a being of seemingly supernatural abilities?
Doc Savage did not know. But The Shadow did! Combining forces, the Man of Bronze and the Dark Avenger follow the trail of a superfoe from The Shadow’s past.
But can they learn to trust one another?
From fog-shrouded New York to a futuristic underground kingdom in the heart of Asia, the battle sprawls—with the world’s fate at stake!
