G-8 and His Battle Aces

The Complete list of All G-8 Stories

The G-8 and His Battle Aces had a stellar run as a magazine. It began its historic run in October, 1933, the same month as the inaugural release of The Spider Magazine. These two pulps were the first of the Hero Pulp phase for Popular Publications. G-8 had an incredible run. The wild fantasy/war adventures of our favorite WWI Flying Spy lasted 110 issues. It almost lasted out the paper shortages caused by World War II which finally forced retirement with the June 1944 issue.

Equally as impressive is the fact that one author, Robert J. Hogan penned all the novels. The G-8 pulp was an inspiration to a generation of pilots and set many imaginations on fire with the weird fantasy, spy adventures.

G-8, Nippy and Bull

G-8 The Flying Spy

G-8 is both a master pilot and master spy. Often times, the mission calls for G-8 to go in disguise deep behind enemy lines and into the enemy headquarters to uncover the secret plans that threaten the allies. G-8 must face the likes of Herr Docktor Kruger and his companions who use the latest in science to help conjure up giant bats, vikings, wailing banshees, werewolves, and other monstrosities.

G-8 - The Legend

Facing death and this man could laugh. But he was different from others. He was G-8, the young American spy. Germans lowered their voices when they spoke of G-8. Lowered their voices and cursed under their breath. G-8 seemed infallible, hardly human in his super-skill. One great general of the Imperial army had said:

"We must capture and kill this verdammt young man, G-8, at all costs. I would give willingly ten thousand of my bravest for his head. He is too clever to live. He knows more about our business than we do ourselves."

Bull Martin

The pilot of the other ship was larger, much larger than the pilot of Spad number 13. All G-8 could see of his face was the jaw. That seemed sufficient. The jaw was square and looked hard as a rock. His shoulders protruded from the cockpit and cramped the padding on the side. And the number of the ship that the great bull-necked, square-jawed, broad-shouldered pilot flew was 7. This two-fisted brute of a man. He had a ready grin too and a nonchalant wave. But the lucky number, 7, told the story. He had superstitions. He trusted in luck. Perhaps his apparent great strength had taken away a little of his brain power.

Nippy Weston

A small, trim, alert little Yank grinned down from his perch on the back of an overstuffed chair. He held his frosted glass in his left hand. The fingers of his right hand worked rapidly. And as they worked, a silver half dollar flopped and flopped and flopped over his knuckles to disappear through his palm and come up again for another turn. That was Nippy Weston, the little ace. Nippy Weston the magician. The wise terrier Yank who was older than he looked and had seen much. Life to Nippy was just one great, laughable illusion--like his tricks of magic.
