A perfect storm of paper shortages and fly-by-night publishers in the years after World War II led to a boom in cheaply produced American-style hard-boiled crime fiction. Hank Janson, dubbed the 'Best of Tough Gangster Authors' - in truth a south London former shipping clerk turned publisher - sold five million copies of his novels to a public who craved excitement and escapism in Hank's violent, sexually charged world. The courts took a more damning view, destroying hundreds of thousands of paperbacks and magazines that were judged to be obscene. Janson's novels, with their voluptuous pin-up covers, were a regular target, but requests for guidance from authorities went unanswered. Then, Janson's publisher and distributor were arrested, tried and jailed. This is the story of Hank Janson, of his creator Stephen D. Frances, and how, out of the ashes of destruction orders levelled at cheap gangster novels, the Obscene Publications Act was reformed.

Telos Publishing is proud to bring back into print, after more than fifty years' absence, what most fans agree is one of the very best of the classic era Hank Janson novels. Accused was the most heavily scrutinised book of all in the infamous Hank Janson obscenity trials at the Old Bailey in the mid-1950s, and as a result was effectively banned from British bookshops. Now readers can judge for themselves whether or not this absorbing tale of sadistic cruelty, illicit passion and violent murder really was obscene! As usual, this Telos Publishing reissue comes unedited, and complete with legendary illustrator Reginald Heade's wonderful original artwork cover. With their erotic pin-up covers and hardboiled crime tales, the Hank Janson pulp paperback novels were a British publishing sensation in the 1940s and 1950s, selling millions of copies to readers craving escapism from post-war austerity. Includes an introduction by pulp historian and writer Steve Holland.

Hank Janson's chance meeting with a beautiful female hitchhiker, Cora Tanter, is just the start of a thrilling tale involving an elderly archaeologist, his rich but suicidal young wife, and a haul of valuable Roman artefacts.

Classic pulp crime thrillers from the 1940s and 1950s. In their time, the Hank Janson novels, with their sleazy covers and no-holds-barred tales, were a guilty pleasure for millions of readers, but incurred the wrath of the establishment! This anthology of ultra-rarities reprints the first three Hank Janson novellas - When Dames Get Tough, Scarred Faces and Kitty Takes The Rap - which initially appeared in 1946 over two volumes (with the latter two collected together under the Scarred Faces title). Literally only a handful of copies of the original editions now survive. Also included in this Telos anthology, as a bonus, are two Hank Janson short stories from the scarce Underworld magazine.

In all its grim glory, the Second World War is brought to life in twelve of the grittiest war dramas ever committed to paper. War Picture Library was the daddy of them all - the first pocket library and for many fans, the best. The conflict that engulfed Europe forced ordinary men to give up their safe, happy lives and fight for freedom against an enemy who had been preparing for war for years. Debuting in 1958, War picture Library celebrated the heroic actions of the Allies as they fought back on land, at sea and in the air. No theatre of conflict was ignored. Written by authors who had themselves seen combat, from the baking deserts of Africa to the steaming jungles of the Far East, these complete stories gave youngsters growing up in the years after the war an answer to the question, 'What did you do in the war, daddy?' Gathered here is some of the most striking war art ever produced, reproduced 25% bigger than the originals so you can feel every bullet hit, every crashing wave and every nerve shattering explosion. This is military history as you've never read it before.

When it comes to telling stories about the Second World War few did it better than the authors of BATTLE PICTURE LIBRARY. Here at last is the collection you've been waiting for, gathering together 12 of the toughest tales of war ever told.

The stories you'll find in this volume have an incredible range, from action with the Desert Rats to top-secret missions for Military Intelligence via the nightmare dreams of a Captain in the airborne division and the heroic rise of Jack Charlton (not that Jack Charlton) to the head of Baker Company. It's not just rattling good history ... it's explosive! Attracting some of the finest talent from across Europe, these visceral pocket novels are reproduced 25 per cent bigger than the originals so you can revel in every glorious detail.
