Thank you for the early Christmas Presents with these completed Buck Ryans, Paw!
These early stories are a revelation. There was something in the earlier [20 to 50's] British Heroes that made them quite ruthless/violent in their pursuit of evildoers, even in comparison to the US pulp heroes. Charteris wrote the early Saint as quite ruthless in his treatment of evildoers, as well as Edgar Wallace's Heroes. Just to name two.
Also, interesting to see that Zola's background is not dissimilar to Twilights.
Great Stuff! You must be quite chuffed!
