ppint. 6th Mar 2024 | | BookMaxwell Grant - The Romanoff Jewels | "maxwell grant" is a house name created by walter b. gibson at the publishers, street & smith's request, to be used by all the authors writing "the shadow" stories for their eponymous periodical.
aside of two hundred and eighty-two stories by gibson, himself, the name was used by lester dent on one 1938 story, "the golden vulture", bruce elliott on fifteen 1946-48 stories, and by theodore tinsley on twenty-seven 1936-1943 stories; and further, by dennis lynds on nine original paperback novels 1964-1967.
the fictional author was "unmasked" in a much later comic as a newspaper reporter who, on discovering the shadow's true identity, chose not to publicise this, but instead to chronicle his adventures.
