Note that Robert M. Price has confirmed that the "John S. Glasby" who wrote many pseudonymous Badger novels in the 1950s/1960s and the "John Glasby" who published Lovecraftian stories in the 1990s/2000s are in fact the same person -- see Robert M. Price, "About The Brooding City", in The Antarktos Cycle, Chaosium, 2006, ISBN 1568822049, p. 523 (also added to Wikipedia on 2008-09-30). Ahasuerus 02:58, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Glasby's Wikipedia page has remained stable since December 2007, but just in case it gets deleted for lack of notability, here is the non-SF bibliographic data, apparently taken from Steve Holland's Badger Tracks: Exploring the publications of John Spencer & Co., Underworld Studios, Colchester 1997:

  • More than 30 western novels using the house name "Chuck Adams" and ten as "Tex Bradley".
  • 34 hospital romance novels written as "D.K. Jennings".
  • Two crime novels and six desert adventure novels, all using the "A.J. Merak" pseudonym.
  • Six James Bond-style spy novels written as "Manning K. Robertson".
  • An unknown number (possibly as many as a hundred) War stories set during World War II and published under a huge range of pseudonyms.
