The Hooded Hunter is a tall, spare man in a gray
double-breasted suit, and a fedora hat. A tight-fitting hood covered his entire
head except for his mouth and chin. From the hood a pair of steely gray eyes
glared. A revolver was grasped in his right hand.
Barton Roberts is a special investigator for an anti-fascist
group based in Empire City. He has authority and jurisdiction throughout the
United States. When on a case, he often works as The Hooded Hunter to battle
Nazis in the U.S.
Martin Terry is similar in height and weight to Barton Terry,
and he has an aggressive thrust to his jaw. He assists The Hooded Hunter when
called upon.
Harold Louis Wassermann is Head of the Board of the
anti-fascist group that Barton and Terry work for.
The Hooded Hunter was created by Steve Mitchell, and is
thinly based on the Matinee serial, The Masked Marvel. Plus, it is written in
serial style with cliffhangers and dialogue. Each chapter ends with a fistfight
or gun battle. The character also has similarities to Dan Fowler of G-Men
Detective. Barton Roberts is Dan Fowler, and Martin Terry is Larry Kendal.
There is even a girl in the story, Allison Frazier, who plays the part of Sally
Vane. Wasserman is the F.B.I. Director, of course. So the story works as either
a serial or Dan Fowler novel.
There have been two stories in the
series so far.
