Douglas Greene: To reply to the question whether Whitfield's
Jo Gar stories have ever been collected -- they are about to
be! Crippen & Landru in Association with Black Mask Press
now has at the printer JO GAR'S CASEBOOK, containing all the
stories of the "Island Detective." It has a great cover by
neo-pulp artist Tom Roberts.
********** With great news like that, I'm ready for all the
blatant publishing promotion you can dish out. If my memory
serves me correctly, the last I read on the issue is that the
stories have NEVER been collected before.
There's so much writing from the era that just sits rotting
on pulp pages, and practically inaccessible to the hardboiled
community. Crippen and Landru are doing the genre a great
service.
