Hank Janson was the most popular and successful of British pulp fiction authors of the 1940s and 1950s. It was estimated that over five million of the author's books had been sold by 1954.
'When Dames Ge Tough' was the first Hank Janson novel in 1946 and there were around 220 featuring the tough Chicago reporter through to 'The Young Wolves' in 1968.
Many of the later novels were reputed to be the work of other authors.
Frankly my dear: amazingly good, Like Kerouac, Brautigan and Vonnegut, got together and wrote a British book, about liberty and freedom of mankind. Humorous but still packs a serious message, about the human condition.
