Some of the other series he authored under a house name are: The Last Ranger, Slocum, Mc Masters and Big Iron.

A poster named Martin O'Hearn left a comment on my review of Tracker #7 (http://glorioustrash.blogspot.com/2014/04/tracker-7-shock-treatment.html) that it was also written by David Jacobs, but he wasn't sure about Psycho Squad. It seemed to me though that it was the same writing style as found in Psycho Squad 1 & 2, so thanks a lot for verifying it Joe Kenneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03285576322579808153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3701602284718920546.post-63523228746239619302014-06-10T16:39:16.628-05:002014-06-10T16:39:16.628-05:00Hello Joe,

If you ever re-read the book, you might want to check out the mass market paperback from 1989, which has a bunch of material that wasn't in the original hardcover.
