Something else that somebody needs to reprint. HB-J certainly isn't an author you think of as writing comedies, but I'm not surprised to hear that he was good at it.James Reasonerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049917964433932612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-29783887974174701222011-12-31T07:41:23.979-06:002011-12-31T07:41:23.979-06:00I've always liked ACE-HIGH during the Clayton ...I've always liked ACE-HIGH during the Clayton years and they often used authors that did not write that often for the other pulps, so you got a different slant on westerns. They did use humor, comedy, and slapstick often and some of these stories are funny if you are in the right mood.<br /><br />One of the best comedy series in ACE-HIGH was written by H.Bedford Jones and starred a crazy sheriff named Pinky Jenkins. He also was a drunk and corrupt but the stories are quite funny and just about the only comedy that I remember from Bedford-Jones. There were around 15 long novelets, all around 40 pages each.Walker Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16089880902426182100noreply@blogger.com
