One of the most popular series to appear in the pages of the greatest detective magazine of all time—Black Mask—is finally back in print. Running for nearly 30 installments, author W.T. Ballard chronicled the adventures of Hollywood troubleshooter Bill Lennox—employee of the prominent movie studio, General-Consolidated Pictures. Not quite a detective, Lennox’s escapades often called for him to keep the Hollywood stars out of trouble and General-Consolidated out of the headlines. These tales exhibit a flavor of authenticity for 1930s-era Hollywood, as the author worked as a scriptwriter and producer during that timeframe. This edition collects the first seven stories, many of which have never before been reprinted. Also including an introduction by James L. Traylor.
