Alias The Night Wind Author:Varick Vanardy Written by the "father of [serial detective] Nick Carter," Frederic Van Rensselaer Dey, and published by the man who introduced the "pulp" magazine to the world, Frank A. Munsey, the Night Wind was a super-endowed character whose fictional life-span ran from 1913 to the early 1920s. Bingham Harvard, alias the Night Wind, used his... more » prodigious strength (roughly 5 times that of the average man) to rescue himself, friends and family from various plots of "frame-ups," extortion and outright physical violence. His exploits were serialized in Munsey's The CAVALIER and ALL-STORY WEEKLY just a few months after the appearance of Tarzan in October 1912 and wrapping up just before the first appearance of Zorro on August 1919 by the same publisher. Upon the close of a pulp magazine serial, the installments were bound and reissued in hardcover format. There were a total of four hardcover novels starring the Night Wind: ALIAS "THE NIGHT WIND," THE RETURN OF THE NIGHT WIND, THE NIGHT WIND'S PROMISE, and LADY OF THE NIGHT WIND. In 1923 the first novel was adapted for the silent screen and released with much popular appeal as ALIAS "THE NIGHT WIND." After almost 100 years out of print, ALIAS THE NIGHT WIND is available again. Re-typeset - but not revised or abridged in any way, this edition comes with an informative introduction by the editor of the series, Christopher R. Yates, putting the author and character in historical context. In addition, the hardbound and paperback formats of this book sport the color cover from the original, first appearance of the Night Wind in THE CAVALIER magazine from May 10, 1913, as well as the interior illustrations from the original 1913 hardbound format.
