I think the Craig Kenendy stories paved the way for many of the hero pulp characters like Doc Savage. He was extremely popular in his day and he was wooed by Hollywood where he became involved in writing adventure serials and adapting the Kennedy stories for the silent screen. They were also adapted for early TV but I've seen many of them and it's Craig Kennedy in name only. The stories -- rarely based on Reeve's work -- are unimaginative and dull.J F Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473487417479127354noreply@blogger.com
