The Avenging Twins Collect by Johnston McCulley is a thrilling collection of pulp fiction adventures featuring the author’s dynamic duo of masked vigilantes. Set in the gritty underworld of early 20th-century America, the stories follow the exploits of two identical twins who use their uncanny resemblance and clever disguises to bring criminals to justice. With breakneck pacing and cliffhanger endings, McCulley-best known as the creator of Zorro-delivers a series of action-packed tales filled with daring escapes, cunning deceptions, and righteous vengeance. As the twins navigate a world of corruption and danger, readers are treated to a nostalgic journey into the golden age of pulp fiction. McCulley’s vivid storytelling and larger-than-life characters make this collection a must-read for fans of classic adventure stories and those who enjoy exploring the roots of the superhero genre.Johnston McCulley (1883-1958), the creator of Zorro, authored hundreds of stories, fifty novels, and numerous screenplays for film and television. The Avenging Twins books are 'written at the same level of seriousness as the sayings on a party napkin.'
