Great information. John Davis’ regular PP articles are a treasure trove. They should be collected and published in book form.

I agree Gary. They are my favorite read in each issue of PP.

Mr. Flick appears in the Winter edition of Parker’s in Pulp, as well as the upcoming issue.

I wrote an article for the DGJ in the Winter 2019 issue about Flick and his accomplishment. Of interest was his many nom deplumes. Jerry, Mingo, Raven, Brady, and possibly more. Raven presumably stemming from his home town of Ravenna, OH. Those trap boys would do an anything to remain incognito. I seem to recall him shooting with Fulford thus the trigger in his CHE one would presume.
