Kanigher (1915-2002) was a successful editor, short story, poetry, play, radio, film and comic book writer involved with the Wonder Woman franchise for more than 20 years. His earliest comics work included Fawcett Comics Captain Marvel Adventures. The section of this book on comics (writing for pulps) is thought to be one of the earliest works on the subject.The author turns to the dean of hard-boiled detective fiction, Dashiell Hammett (1894-1961, for an essay (pages 34-36) about how to invent characters. Hammett writes about developing characters for The Thin Man and The Maltese Falcon. "Spade had no original," Hammett wrote. "He is a dream in the sense that he is what most private detectives I worked with would like to have been and what quite a few of them in their cockier moments thought they approached."Hammett is the only contributor to this publication. Aside from being well regarded working writers of the same era, no other obvious link between Kanigher and Hammett is known. Very good.
