| School for Slackers in the Modern Boy. In 1934 Hamilton created yet another school - High Coombe - the school for Slackers. High Coombe was a slack school, the Head was slack, the Masters were slack and as a consequence the boys were slack. They had no interest in education or games, the most important thing for them was their appearance! When the Headmaster retired the Governors Decide not to promote from within but to to bring in a new Head master, a young man by the name of McCann. It isn't an easy job, Masters and pupils are both against change but he does make some progress. I enjoyed the series but have to agree with Eric Fayne that in keeping the series open for further yarns the Headmaster is seen as rather ineffective. It would have been better to close the series with the Headmaster finally succeeding in his task but of course this would have made it impossible to write any more stories! An interesting article by Roger Jenkins appeared in the 1977 Collectors Digest. You can read the article here. The stories were reprinted in the Schoolboys Own Library issues SOL 290 and SOL 299. Original High Coombe stories were later published in Tom Merry's Own and Billy Bunter's Own. |
| Rio Kid in the Modern Boy.
In 1928 the Rio Kid made his first appearance in the Popular in an attempt to boost flagging sales and he stayed there for almost 3 years. When the Modern Boy began to struggle some seven years later Hamilton (Ralph Redway) once again came to the rescue and the Rio Kid made his first appearance in the Modern Boy on 25th September 1937. (note:- strictly speaking this was not the Rio Kid's first appearance in the Modern Boy, he had actually appeared four years earlier in comic strip format.) The first story spans issues 503-514 from 1937 tells how the Kid becomes the foreman of the Lazy S ranch and the excitement prevailed before once again he was on the run from Mule Kick Hall of the Rangers. The second and final story spans issues 515-523 and tells of the Rio Kid's visit to Hollywood. Original tales of the Rio Kid also featured in the Popular, Ranger, Billy Bunter's Own, and the Tom Merry's Own. Rio Kid stories from the Popular and Modern Boy were reprinted in the Boys Friend Library. |
| Rio Kid Cartoon Strips in the Modern Boy.
The Rio Kid appeared in the Modern Boy in cartoon format in 1933 and in this story he is accused of stealing money from Old Man Dawney. The story spanned 17 issues 285 - 301. The stories are not by Hamilton but by a Sub writer. |
| Ken King in the Modern Boy. Ken King made his debut in issue 1 in a story said to be written by the famous aviation pioneer Sir Alan Cobham and Charles Hamilton. Probably the only contribution by Cobham was the use of his name which was liberally used over the first twenty issues. Ken King and his mate Kit Hudson sailed the unchartered waters of the south seas in his ketch the Dawn. Beachcombers, pearlers, cannibals and sea-lawyers featured heavily in the stories but there was always a twist that kept the stories interesting. A total of 209 Ken King stories appeared in the Modern Boy. A number of stories were reprinted the Boys Friend Library. New stories also featured in Billy Bunter's Own, and Tom Merry's Own. |
| Bunny Hare in the Modern Boy. In 1930 Hamilton wrote 12 short stories about the adventures of Bunny Hare. Eric Fayne says of them "These yarns make for interesting reading. Though the Bunny stories contained little of the character work for which the writer is famed, they were interesting and amusing" The stories were reprinted in the Boys Friend Library issue BFL2/360. |
| Len Lex in the Modern Boy Len Lex is a schoolboy detective who is sent to Oakshott School by his Uncle Detective Nixon of Scotland Yard. Eric Fayne described the stories as typical Hamilton Mystery yarns - pleasant enough reading but with plots familiar to any reader of the Magnet or Gem. "The Schoolboy Detective" was published in issues 452-461 and was reprinted as "The Schoolboy 'Tec!" in Schoolboys Own Library issue SOL 353. The "Moat House" series was published in issues 462-465 and was reprinted in the 1941 issue of the Greyfriars Holiday Annual as "The Moat House Mystery" The "Eric Tunstall" series was published in issues 479-484 and the "Egerton Young" series was published in issues 485-488. Both were reprinted in "Asking for the sack" in the Schoolboys Own Library issue SOL 371. An article by Derek Smith on "Len Lex - The Schoolboy Detective" appeared on page 140 of Collectors Digest issue 77. A more detailed article was published in the 1968 issue of the Collectors Digest in which Ron Hodgson had a light hearted look at Hamilton's Schoolboy detective. You can read the article here.
