The Corpus
The Magazine Publications of the Wolfe Saga
& Alternate Titles Listing

If you have a book cover that you don't see in the cover art pages, please send a scanned image to the webmaster, preferably a 'JPEG' or 'GIF' format 500 to 600 pixels, but we will accept all formats!

Don't forget to report errors!  Unlike Mr. Stout, the webmaster reverts to a non-genius streak and re-reads, edits, rewrites, reviews, etc.  
We want to correct any errors.

To enhance income generation, Mr. Stout, as Archie's agent, arranged  for the prepublication in Magazines of many of the novellas. In addition, the Nero Wolfe saga was reprinted throughout the world and some foreign printings were "re-titled". We have included those British titles that confound the collector!

Acknowledgments:

Peter Darrel compiled the following magazine publication listing for the Nero Wolfe saga. 

Jesse Strater assembled the Alternate Titles Listing at the bottom of this page.

Dan Augustine compiled a similar listing with many more titles that have been updated to these listings.

Thanks Dan, Peter, and Jesse!

Coming Soon!
Watch for a section displaying the illustrations from the magazines.
