Thubway Tham Meets the Crimson Clown

Thubway Tham -- A lisping pickpocket harboring delusions of grandeur; The Crimson Clown -- A "gentleman thief" justifying his crimes with charitable donations; Baron Bleud -- His legitimate business fronts hide the revenue from his criminal enterprises. With the police dogging his every step, Thubway Tham decides to lay low - but The Crimson Clown has other plans. Tham will aid him in lifting priceless jewels from The Baron ... or die! This Bold Venture edition collects the complete text of Johnston McCulley's novel for the first time! Originally presented in Detective Story Magazine , this story was an unusual for its time -- two popular characters joining forces in one story. Such "crossovers" are commonplace today in comic books, but Thubway Tham Meets the Crimson Clown no doubt made McCulley's fans sit up and take notice!
