The Pulp Super-Fan: Michael R. Brown:
"First is the serialized novel "Alias Mr. Death," written by D.L. Champion and published under the house pseudonym of G. Wayman Jones in Thrilling Detective February 1932 through October 1932. This was published when the only pulp hero at the time was The Shadow. In some ways, it set down some of the tone of Thrilling's Phantom Detective, which would come out in 1933, and first written by Champion also under the Jones byline.
In this nine-part novel, we met young man-about-town James Quincy Gilmore. His father is slain by the vicious Murder Club, led by nine unknown individuals. Gilmore swears vengeance on them as Mr. Death, and in the nine parts, goes after and kills each of the nine, leaving a calling card saying "Alias Mr. Death." In the last story, after eliminating Number One, Mr. Death "kills" himself in a plane crash."
