Marquand, and Hugh Wiley, the three Oriental sleuths' adventures first appeared in popular magazines and then were quickly snapped up by Hollywood to sate the appetites of film-goers for detective thrillers on the silver screen.  Charlie Chan carried his case loads over into radio, television, newspaper comic strips, comic books, Better Little Books, and games.  Mr. Moto followed with radio adventures and a graphic novel, and Mr. Wong added comic book exploits to his résumé.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif\" color=\"black\" style=\"color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003eNow author David Rothel brings all three Oriental sleuths together for the first time in one volume as he examines their origins and covers their development in all the media forms they encompassed through the years.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif\" color=\"black\" style=\"color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eTHE SUSPENSEFUL NOVELS AND SHORT STORIES\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif\" color=\"black\" style=\"color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eTHE EXCITING FILMS\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif\" color=\"black\" style=\"color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eTHE MYSTERIOUS RADIO EPISODES\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif\" color=\"black\" style=\"color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eTHE LIVE-ACTION TELEVISION EPISODES\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif\" color=\"black\" style=\"color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eTHE ANIMATED TELEVISION EPISODES\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif\" color=\"black\" style=\"color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eTHE CLASSIC COMIC BOOKS, BETTER LITTLE BOOKS, AND GAMES\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif\" color=\"black\" style=\"color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIN FACT, JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING YOU EVER WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif\" color=\"black\" style=\"color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE ORIENTAL SLEUTHS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eAuthor David Rothel received the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2012 Williamsburg Film Festival in Williamsburg, Virginia. \u003cem\u003eThe Williamsburg Classic Film Guild, Inc.

If at times Rothel may perhaps be accused of waxing a tad too enthusiastically over what are often no more than humble little exercises in 'B' film production, his genuine affection for these movies is legitimate and highly appealing and he makes a strong case for their on-going popularity and appeal.\"\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Scarlet, the Film Magazine\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eReview by Boyce McClain's Collector's Corner\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!--\"''\"--\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BearManor Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52269481361704,"sku":"trh1787291887745","price":28.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0934\/1331\/0760\/files\/the-case-files-of-the-oriental-sleuths-charlie-chan-mr-moto-mr-wong-hardback_1.jpg?v=1787291893","url":"https:\/\/www.kavolentra.com\/products\/the-case-files-of-the-oriental-sleuths-charlie-chan-mr-moto-mr-wong-hardback","provider":"Kavolentra Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
