John Glasby

John S. Glasby (born 1928) was a prolific British author whose work spanned a range of popular genres. A professional astronomer and mathematician [Robert M. Price, "About "The Brooding City", in "The Antarktos Cycle", Chaosium, 2006, ISBN 1568822049, p. 523] , he produced over 300 novels and short stories during the 1950s and 1960s, most of which were published pseudonymously under the Badger Books imprint.Steve Holland, "Badger Tracks: Exploring the publications of John Spencer & Co." Underworld Studios, Colchester 1997.]

Glasby's output can be summarised briefly as follows:

* Approximately 25 speculative fiction novels, using pseudonyms such as "A. J Merak" and the Badger house names "John E. Muller", "Karl Zeigfreid" and "Victor LaSalle".

* More than 30 western novels using the house name "Chuck Adams", and ten as "Tex Bradley".

*34 hospital romance novels written as "D.K. Jennings".

* Two crime novels and six desert adventure novels, all using the "A.J. Merak" pseudonym.

* Six James Bond-style spy novels written as "Manning K. Robertson".

* An unknown number (possibly as many as a hundred) War stories set during World War II and published under a huge range of pseudonyms.
