From old books to big bucks: 8 vintage heroes who deserve a modern revival

Originally a Holmes pretender, this character evolved into a hybrid of Holmes, James Bond and Indiana Jones, going on to become the most documented fictional character in the history of the English language, with over two thousand stories and novels published. Ostensibly a private detective, with adolescent Tinker and greyhound Pedro as sidekicks, and whizzing around in a Rolls Royce dubbed The Grey Panther, Blake’s adventures took him everywhere, from the bustle of London to the farthest reaches of Africa.

He faced villains every bit as fantastic as Spider-Man, including Mr Mist (who, after being disfigured, discovers the secret of invisibility), Waldo the Wonder-Man (who cannot feel pain, heat or cold), Miss Death (who, with only six months to live, dons a mask and goes on a killing spree), The Black Eagle (incarcerated on Devil’s Island for 20 years for a crime he didn’t commit, but finally escapes – with a grudge), George Marsden Plummer (a Scotland Yard detective who doubles as a criminal mastermind), and many more.
