Eclited and Published 1959 - January 1987 by Eric Fayne VOL. 47 No. 563 NOVEMBER 1993 Price £1 THE EDITOR'S CHAT l 00 YEARS OF SEXTON BLAKE TheEditor's Chat This month a large part of lhe C.D. is devoted to articles and illustrations in celebration of the Centenary of Sexton Blake who is. of course, the most famous and popular of all boys' paper detectives. IL is even arguable lhat Blake is lhe most written­ about of all fictional detectives and indeed of all fictional charac ters. I don't suppose anyone has ever essayed a word count of his adventures from number one in that De~ember 1893_MA~VEL to today, when arttcles about h~m sttll appear regularly in our o~n rnaga_zmeas well as cropping up from time ~o ll~1e e!sewberc. His exploits have certamly msp1red many millions of words, plus plenty of stage, screen, radio and TV adaptations. As well as remembering the authors and illustrators who have produced and perpetuated the Blakian legend. it_seems appropriate in this Centenary issue of the C.D. to recall members of our ho~by circle who have_helped to keep the great sleulh's image ever-bright. From the first issue of the C.D. (m November 1946) H. Maurice Bond conducted a Blakian section which was subsequently taken over by Josie Packman. Josie. whose husband Len was a founder-member of the London Old Boys' Book Club. was 3 until her death a few years ago indefatigable in her championing or che Blake saga. She not only ran Blakiana in the C.D. but organized the London Club's Sexton Blake lending library (now ably carried oa by Duncan Harper ) and we remember with much pleasure her Blake contributions at many meetings. Amongst stalwart past and present-day Blake contributors, special mention should be made of Walter Webb. Jack Adrian (whose recent compilation of stories SEXTON BLAKE WINS is a 'must' for collectors) and J.E.M.• whose frequent features in Bla!Jana we so greatly enjoy. A CENTENARY PUBLICATION 1 am very happy lo report that the hoped-for Sexton Blake Centenary book will be pubHsbcd. Nonnan Wright and David Ashford have produced a fascinating and wonderfully illustrated manuscript, which John Wemham l1as agreed to produce under the imprint of the Museum Press. (Further details are given elsewhere in this issue of the C.D.) THE C.D. ANNUAL As always I hope to have the Annual ready for distribution early in December; ii is already well into production. T have already 'trailed' several items. and now give a further foretaste of some of its 'goodies'. Last month r reported that our Annual would include a story by Richmal Crompton, the author of the William books. 1 am now extremely happy to announce that a hitherto unpublished story by the creator of that other illustrious William (the Owl of the Remove) will, like Richmal's tale. be anocher of t11eAnnual's 'star turns': Frank Richards' Litrle Children D011 11 Tell, though very different in mood from bis Greyfriars stories, shows che insight into the minds of the young that we always expect of him. Tony Glynn has contributed a touching Christmas memory from fifty years ago. with a strong Hamilt onian flavour, Dennis Bird recalls a wide range of extremely popular juvenile reading while Ernest Holman reflects on cinematic delights of sixty years ago, from King Konfl to Flyin.~ Down to Rio. and Des O'Leary bids an atmospheric Goodbye to rhe Hotspur. The ever popular Bruin Boys. and many of the other attractive characters with whom they rub shoulders in the RAINBOW, are lovingly remembered by Reg Hardinge. and George Beal has delved into the stories and pictures of the lesser-known but also very appealing paper called FAIRYLAND TALES. Cliff House and Morcove are also represented : I'll be trailing them more fully - as well as other articles - next month. lf you have not already reserved your copy of the ANNUAL please don't forget to send your order to me soon. It costs £9 for U.K. readers and £10 for those Jiving abroad (bot11prices include post and packing). r wish you all lots of time for happy reading.

CONSULTING ROOM CHAT A History of Sexton Blake The legendary Baker Street detective, Sexton Blake, made his first appearance in an inelegant and nondescript short story, ‘The Missing Millionaire’ by Harry Blyth (under the pen-name Hal Meredeth) in the boys’ story paper The Halfpenny Marvel on 20 December 1893. Blake went on to appear in a handful of equally unimpressive stories by Meredeth, and those inauspicious beginnings might have been enough to kill the character at birth, had he not moved, under the title of “Sexton Blake, Detective”, to 2 the newly launched Union Jack story paper in mid -1894. Blessed with a new set of writers, and with Blake’s world expanded to take in his Baker Street base, his customised ‘plane and car, and his new assistant Tinker, the character became the star of the paper, remaining so even after Union Jack became Detective Weekly in 1933.

  • Index All Names Are Arranged Last Name, First Name, Or Last Name
    Index All names are arranged last name, first name, or last name, nickname/title, so Old Sleuth is indexed as “Sleuth, Old.” All pseudonyms and story and novel titles are indexed according to their most famous and well-known arrangement, so Les Miserables is put in the L section—it would be an act of mulish perversity and unfriendliness to the reader to put Les Miserables in the Ms—but The Adrets Inn is put in the A section. Generally, I’ve indexed names and titles where readers are most likely to look for them.
