COMING SOON: THE COMPLETE ADVENTURES OF HAZARD & PARTRIDGE



Altus Press has released information on their latest release:

Coming in time for Pulpfest:

The Complete Adventures of Hazard & Partridge by Robert J. Pearsall
Introduction by Nathan Vernon Madison

Join adventurers Hazard and Partridge as they battle Koshinga, the evil “spirit of the East, past all Western understanding” for the freedom of China. In the sprit of Sherlock Holmes and Watson, writer Robert J. Pearsall mixed in the menace of early 1900s Chinese tongs to produce a unique pulp magazine epic.

Never before reprinted, this series originally appeared in 1919-20 in the pages of Adventure, the greatest of all pulps. Published with the cooperation of the Pearsall family, it contains several photos of the author, and it's rounded out with an all-new introduction by Nathan Vernon Madison, writer of Anti-Foreign Imagery in American Pulps and Comic Books, 1920-1960.

516 pages, approx. 6"x9"
