From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

John S. Glasby (born 1928) was a prolific British author whose work spanned a range of popular genres. During the 1950s and 1960s he produced over 300 novels and short stories, most of which were published pseudonymously under the Badger Books imprint.[1]

Glasby's output can be summarised briefly as follows:

  • Approximately 25 speculative fiction novels, using pseudonyms such as "A. J Merak" and the Badger house names "John E. Muller", "Karl Zeigfreid" and "Victor LaSalle".
  • More than 30 western novels using the house name "Chuck Adams", and ten as "Tex Bradley".
  • 34 hospital romance novels written as "D.K. Jennings".
  • Two crime novels and six desert adventure novels, all using the "A.J. Merak" pseudonym.
  • Six James Bond-style spy novels written as "Manning K. Robertson".
  • An unknown number (possibly as many as a hundred) War stories set during World War II and published under a huge range of pseudonyms.[1]
