JIM LAWRENCE

1918 - 1994

Writing as: Hunter Adams, Jack Lancer, Jim Lawrence


Mr. Lawrence's largest body of work was writing Tom Swift, jr. novels under the house name of Victor Appleton II as well as Hardy Boys adventures as Franklin Dixon. Obviously the three-book sexcapade books in the Man From Planet-X series were a considerable departure. A different direction was taken when he helped create two highly complex adventure games for the legendary Infocom series in the 80s.

Then, of course, there is the many years of work in which he penned the James Bond comic strip, eventually creating more adventures than anyone else, including the original author.
