I give a brief overview of Nick Carter, the detective who predated Sherlock Holmes and has been published in thousands of stories from the dime novel era onward. In his original iteration, Carter was a phenomenon and a major influence on both pulp magazine heroes and superheroes to come. Eventually the character’s popularity faded leading to several relaunch attempts: pulp stories in the 1920’s, a 1930’s pulp magazine series with a hardboiled version of the character, an B film series, the famous 1940’s radio series and the long running 1960’s Killmaster paperback novel series.
The Sanctum Books reprints focus primarily on the 1930’s pulp version but include scripts from the radio series, 1920’s stories, historian essays and contain a crash course on the world of Nick Carter.
