THE DIGEST ENTHUSIAST continues to be one of the very best publications out there. I mean, look at that line-up. Highlights for me are the in-depth looks at SUSPENSE MAGAZINE, SHOCK MYSTERY TALES, and the Galaxy novels, plus some great fiction including a Brother Bones story by Ron Fortier. The Bulldog Drummond review also sparked considerable interest on my part, since I've read one of the books in that series and have been wanting to get around to the others for a long time. If you have any interest in digest magazines, you really need to be reading THE DIGEST ENTHUSIAST.

You remind me of when, when I was in 9th grade in 1978, and we in the theater club were putting on THE ODD COUPLE, and the drama/English teacher and the other students (more understandably in their case) had no idea who "Bulldog Drummond" was, as was referred to in the play. I had to explain. The teacher suggested we opt for "Kojak" instead. And so we did.
(She was very 1978 dramatic in apparel and approach...big cascading curly hair, knee-high boots. Almost but not quite sexy thus.)
Logically I know you're right, but there's still a part of my brain that asks, "How can anybody not know who Bulldog Drummond is?"
