Joe, My own pick for first penny blood/ dreadful would be William Harrison Ainsworth's "Rookwood , a Romance"of 1834. I don't know how many people would agree...
Hi John, I'd have to disagree with Rookwood being the first PD -- it might be the father of penny dreadfuls but by definition, "penny dreadful" was cheap ...
Hi Neil, Personally I don't take interest in Dalton publications. However, I have looked into my archive and found a note about a foreign Dalton edition....
Hi all, These four books had to have been among the earliest of penny dreadfuls, ignoring serials in periodicals which are generally unavailable. 1838- "The...
Hi again, I said; "One other Barry Ono entry from the Collectors Miscellany that caught the eye was "The Mysterious Freebooter," (signed E. Viles, author of...
Hi, John -- My copy of the first Black Pirate or The Phantom Ship carries no byline, but is published by Edward Lloyd, no date. It runs to 35 1/2 parts (I kid...
Thanks Bill, I'll add the Lloyd to my list. One interesting book I got today is "Lord Chief Baron Nicholson An Autobiography." G. Vickers. ND. Probably circa...

Hi, Jess -- I bet World Cat still lists Jack Vance as a pseudonym for Henry Kuttner. It is totally wrong here, of course. There is no connection other than...

Hi, John -- Re your suggestion of possible piracy by Lloyd in pubbing the (non-existent) "Emans" novel, the threat of swift legal action by any English pubber...
Hi, Jess -- Things are clarifying a bit. The Black Pirate book you saw was published about a decade after the Lloyd novel I have with the same title. It does...

Hi Bill and Jess, Good work, Jess, one mystery cleared up. I have been wondering why I could find no Lloyd works before 1840's and '50's. This Emans 'nonsense'...

Hi All, More Black Pirates ! Is it possible that the Black Pirate was by Eugene Sue ? Note the B. D. Cousins serial publication of "Brulart, the Black Pirate,...
Hi, John -- Sue me, but I can't swallow ES as the author of the first BP. Interesting to note, tho, that Sue's BP is racially "black." Might be a good read....
