-I think possibly Norbert Davis may be a little more in favor(name
recognition) because Fred Nebel in his 1930's Cardigan and other
stories generally ended up with a 35 page or so novelette--which is
not a popular length story apparently with anthologists. Davis had
shorter stories which ran into the early 1940's, but I have heard
little about his popularity except based on his 2 series: Max Latin
and Doan and Carstairs. Both of these series are very good and
motivated me to seek all his stories--to find out that they are a
level or so below the 2 noted series. Nebel has several advocates
among serious collectors of pulps as being one of the very best
authors of the period.
-I am still trying to get 1 Nebel story("Scrambled Murder" 7/15/1933
Dime Detective); if anyone has a pnotocopy and wishes to trade for
other Nebel stories please let me know. Ken
