Paul Chadwick (author)

Paul Chadwick was a pulp magazine author who wrote many stories under his own name and various pseudonyms. As was the case with many prolific contributors to the pulps, he wrote in a number of different genres including detective stories, science fiction and westerns. He wrote stories for the magazine "Secret Agent X" under the "house name" of Brant House, and also wrote the one and only issue of the "Doc Savage" clone "Captain Hazzard" (May 1938) under the name of Chester Hawks.

Many of Chadwick's detective stories feature the hardboiled character Wade Hammond, who first appeared in "Ten Detective Aces" magazine in 1934.
