Through the media which they inhabited they became fictional icons in American popular culture: Honolulu Police Inspector Charlie Chan, International Secret Agent Mr. I. A. Moto, and Justice Department Agent Mr. James Lee Wong-commonly known as the Oriental Sleuths.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCreated by respected authors Earl Derr Biggers, Pulitzer Prize-winner John P. Marquand, and Hugh Wiley, the three Oriental sleuths' adventures first appeared in popular magazines and then were quickly snapped up by Hollywood to sate the appetites of film-goers for detective thrillers on the silver screen. Charlie Chan carried his case loads over into radio, television, newspaper comic strips, comic books, Better Little Books, and games. Mr. Moto followed with radio adventures and a graphic novel, and Mr. Wong added comic book exploits to his résumé.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow author David Rothel brings all three Oriental sleuths together for the first time in one volume as he examines their origins and covers their development in all the media forms they encompassed through the years. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTHE SUSPENSEFUL NOVELS AND SHORT STORIES\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTHE EXCITING FILMS\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTHE MYSTERIOUS RADIO EPISODES\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTHE LIVE-ACTION TELEVISION EPISODES\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTHE ANIMATED TELEVISION EPISODES\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTHE CLASSIC COMIC BOOKS, BETTER LITTLE BOOKS, AND GAMES\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BearManor Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47062381625584,"sku":"9781593936426","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781593936426_p0.jpg?v=1763811434","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781593936426","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
