Notes

  • The series comprised cheap mass-circulation paperback editions/reprints, usually featuring a dramatic coloured cover illustration, and carrying the 'red-back' spider motif. In many instances it is difficult to establish an exact year of publication, as this is often not indicated on the title page or verso.
