About this author

Kenneth Robeson was the house name used by Street and Smith Publications as the author of their popular character Doc Savage and later The Avenger. Many authors wrote under this name, though most Doc Savage stories were written by the author Lester Dent:

William G. Bogart
Evelyn Coulson
Harold A. Davis
Lawrence Donovan
Philip José Farmer
Alan Hathway
W. Ryerson Johnson
Will Murray
Ron Goulart

All 24 of the Avenger stories were written by Paul Ernst, using the Robeson house name. Confusingly, Robeson was credited on the cover of The Avenger magazine as "the creator of Doc Savage."
