Andy, I don't know of any series that had such a reboot...maybe Tracker, the last two volumes of which were written by a guy who clearly had not read the first few. The last two volumes of The Mind Masters also seemed to be the result of an intentional reboot, but nothing as extreme as the Butcher.Joe Kenneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03285576322579808153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3701602284718920546.post-29724544051481802432016-04-07T21:04:50.261-05:002016-04-07T21:04:50.261-05:00Never read him but sounds like he's definitely... Never read him but sounds like he's definitely worth checking out. I see that Avallone's stuff is available as affordable e-books on Amazon. I know, it's heresy, but it looks like $5 - $10 and up is the best you can do on eBay.

Apart from some Butcher I read a few Avallone's, one Gothic, one Horror and a few Noon. Can't say I liked any of them. Humorous crime novels are fine, I adore Westlake, but couldn't stand Noon. <br /><br />The re-imagining of The Butcher is interesting. A two year gap is a long time for such a series, and sales must AndyDeckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12806906746754478064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3701602284718920546.post-6035076112389205552016-04-07T10:05:43.547-05:002016-04-07T10:05:43.547-05:00I have one of Avallone's Satan Sleuth books, b...I have one of Avallone's Satan Sleuth books, but haven't read it.

I read all of his Butchers before I read any of the others in the series, so it was quite a shock when I started back at the first with Dockery's books. But I like both versions of the character quite a bit.James Reasonerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049917964433932612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3701602284718920546.post-76383656670455223712016-04-07T09:28:34.563-05:002016-04-07T09:28:34.563-05:00I need to read more Avallone.

I kinda wrote him off as a hack when I was a kid and read some horror short story collection he did... it was full of kiddie-horror, may have even been a Scholastic Book, I can't remember. But those were really bad so that's always the first thing that pops into my mind when I hear his name. But, that's undoubtedly a bad representation of his work.

These Butcher novels by him are a lot of fun. Also the Ed Noon novels from the 50's are pretty good. It's been awhile since I've read one though. These later Butcher novels are appropriately over the top and pulpy, sort of recalling the madness of old Doc Savage stuff but with more evil babes (with breasts like Howitzers!) and sexKurthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13890931403701897892noreply@blogger.com
