In the 1990s, Greek pulp fan Dimitri "Jim" Hanos published an assortment of pulp reprints in a small format with color covers, sometimes as the Athenian Readers Club. These were released with print runs of 200 or less and many made it to America. This issue features "The Black Bat Strikes Again" by G. Wayman Jones from the Nov. 1939 (Vol. 10 #1) issue of Black Book Detective. This is reprinted using the original pulp pages and therefore has very small type because of the reduced format. 4 3/4-in. x 7-in., 88 pages, black and white. Cover price $2.00.
