The first four Big Nose Serrano novels by gang-pulp superstar, Anatole Feldman, from Gangster Stories, 1930-31. Never reprinted since original publication. Feldman established Serrano as one of the earliest adaptations of Cyrano de Bergerac, setting his hero in the Chicago of gangland times. He grew into a gangster of near-mythic proportions, inspiring to his Tommy gun toting followers, and feared by his mob enemies. But as violent and harrowing as his gangland conflicts became, he always kept a soft spot for a swell-looking frail. Unique in pulp fiction; and very entertaining.

The concluding volume of the complete Big Nose Serrano stories. Three short novels and one novelette are from the rare gang pulps, Greater Gangster Stories (1933-34), and The Gang Magazine (1935). As the series progressed, Big Nose became a champion of FDR's New Deal policies, enforcing them with the gangster's tools of violence, kidnapping and murder--and a sense of humor. Great fun, and truly unique.

The second volume (of 3) in the collected stories of pulpdom's most notorious Chicago gangster. In these four short novels from 1931-32, Big Nose plays the ponies; in two interconnected tales, he fights corruption in the Bloody Tenth Ward by running for assemblyman, and brings the same manic intensity to politics that he did to Tommy-gun warfare; in the fourth story, he struggles against a mysterious underworld nemesis, the Spider. Unique in pulp fiction.
