WFinch, the illustrations of book jackets and magazine illustrations you've been putting up are extremely cool, and they evoke the noir sense of that period so well, particularly Mueller's (I don't much care for the Bill English designs). I've never seen them before. OTOH, I've spent very little time with the Wolfe Pack's cover pages. You must have access to a collector's set of American Magazine and the original hardcovers, yes? I wonder if it would be possible to get at a better version of the Saturday Evening Post's illustration for Method Three than appears in the Bantam back matter. And I guess that's supposed to be Archie on the Dead Body cover, standing behind Neya when they discover Faber's body -- bug eyes? a five o'clock shadow? and Archie complains he doesn't have enough nose? Great illustration, but sheesh -- it might as well have been Lionel Stander posing. TurnerHodges 20:24, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
A DavidWBrooks saw fit to delete a quotation (since then properly restored) from the article associated with this talk page, on the grounds that it was "obviously copied from a magazine article, or essay, or something like that."
Mr. Brooks' Wikipedia user page says that he is a newspaper reporter. His edit of the OMDB article represents the kind of assiduous, hard hitting, no nonsense reportage that characterized Jayson Blair's work. TurnerHodges ( talk) 02:07, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
I took the liberty of adding the following to the section on the A&E adaptation:
"The adaptation is faithful to the novel save for a few changes in detail, such as Donald Barrett being renamed Duncan Barrett and Archie conscripting a bellboy at the Maidstone Building to provide his uniform for Carla Lovchen instead of phoning a nearby hotel and asking the house detective he knows there to send a bellboy over to make the switch with Carla. The script also contains a factual error: when Zorka is unmasked, Wolfe says she was born in "Ottumwa, Minnesota", instead of Ottumwa, Iowa, as in the novel."
That should do, at least for starters. (By the way, perhaps the screenwriter was thinking of Owatonna, Minnesota?) TH1980 ( talk) 22:04, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
