Pulp writer Johnston McCulley (1993-1938) was the author of hundreds (if not thousands) of short stories and novels, published in pulp magazines under his own name and a plethora of pseudonyms. His most famous creation remains the masked swordsman Zorro. But before Zorro hit it big, McCulley tried out dozens of different heroes and antiheroes...including a pickpocket with a lisp named "Thubway Tham" who is is pursued by Detective Craddock of the New York Police Department. This is the second collection of Thubway Tham stories from Wildside Press, following "Adventures of Thubway Tham."
