Pulp writer Johnston McCulley (1993-1938) was the author of a huge selection of short experiences and novels, shared in pulp journals under his own name and various pseudonyms. His most famous creation is, certainly, the masked swordsman Zorro, made popular by radio, movie, and television set adaptations. But before Zorro hit it big, McCulley tried out dozens of different heroes and antiheroes: Black Legend, the Avenging Twins, the Man in Purple, the Green Ghost, the Mongoose, Richard Hughes-Railroad Detective, the Spider, the Thunderbolt, the Crimson Clown...the list goes on and on. And it includes a good-hearted pickpocket with a lisp known as "Thubway Tham," pursued by Detective Craddock of the New York Police Office. Thubway Tham acquired his start in the June 4, 1918, issue of Detective Story Magazine, and continuing on through more than 100 original experiences in various journals such as Black Book Detective, Signs, Mike Shayne Mystery Magazine, and The Saint Detective Magazine). Tham's previous apperance is at January of 1960. That's quite a run. This volume collects 10 experiences (plus a humorous anecdote).
