Stephen D. Francis was the originator, born England 1917, the subsequent huge sales brought him success and fame. The was trouble with the Obscene Publications Act in the 1950s which saw people actually jailed over the content of some of the Hank Janson stories. Francis was resident in Spain at the time so avoided initial prosecution, though he did later return to England and was subsequently charged though acquitted. Collectors should note that some books are dated and others are not, some relatively common whilst others unaccountably scarce, the presumption must be print runs. Condition is everything in collecting and whilst superb copies are always to be desired they are very scarce and command a premium. They were cheap throwaway publications and consequently do not age well.   NOTE When you see more than one book published in the same year we cannot currently guarantee the precise order of publication.
