Paul Chadwick (author)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Paul Chadwick was a pulp magazine author who wrote many stories under his own name and various pseudonyms. As was the case with many prolific contributors to the pulps, he wrote in a number of different genres including detective stories, science fiction and westerns. He wrote stories for the magazine Secret Agent X under the "house name" of Brant House, and also wrote the one and only issue of the Doc Savage clone Captain Hazzard (May 1938) under the name of Chester Hawks.[1]

Many of Chadwick's detective stories feature the hardboiled character Wade Hammond, who first appeared in Ten Detective Aces magazine in 1934.
