The books you mention are the Crimebusters, I think - I read them once and that was more than enough for me.Mark Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12103997496549941279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5787687837760913347.post-7494696884245078782022-02-01T01:08:21.577+00:002022-02-01T01:08:21.577+00:00I've got some Hector Sebastian stories, but th...I've got some Hector Sebastian stories, but the Investigators are a few years older in them, and there's nothing that specifically suggests that the earlier tales with AH are to be disregarded. That said, what you say may be so, but I haven't read any 'old' stories where HS has replaced AH.

I got a few of the 3-in-1 editions too and they were all Hitchcock though as I understand it, there was a fresh run through (maybe just in the US) where Hector Sebastien replaced him from the very beginning. I haven't read any of them.Mark Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12103997496549941279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5787687837760913347.post-78810878660628637762022-01-31T15:18:54.025+00:002022-01-31T15:18:54.025+00:00They're great books, sure enough.

Trouble is, you just don't see them anywhere now. If the stories are ever republished, I just hope they don't edit out Alfred Hitchcock's presence in an attempt to update them. I'll have to keep a lookout for some more to add to my far-too meagre collection.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.com
