HIGH ADVENTURE #148

High Adventure is a long-running bi-monthly publication of pulp reprints produced by the pulp fiction curators at Adventure House. This book is issue #148, and it contains three stories written by F. Van Wyck Mason that appeared in Adventure Trails and Wide World Adventures. The three titles selected for this issue star Yank and Ector, two Foreign Legion pals that often find themselves caught between the Legion and their Bedouin enemies. Yank and Ector was one of several adventure characters Mason wrote in his adventure fiction titles.

These stories were written before enlightened times, therefore racial stereotypes abound. But these three stories make up nearly the entire Yankand Ector canon. The Jest of Caid MacGregor [Adventure Trails], A story of Yank and ‘Ector, and of the death jest of a torture-thirsty Caid. The Doubting of Legionnair Terris [Adventure Trails], Yank and ‘Ector, deserters, fight through to warn the Poste. The Stone of Tanit-Astarte [Wide World Adventures], Yank, ‘Ector and one “ex-gentleman” fight treachery and gold-lust to the bitter death. Out Of Print. Condition: Fine Plus. Light cover and edge wear and a lightly tipped bottom corner.
