The Collected Works in Five Volumes

Eustace Cockrell was a pioneer television writer who contributed to many of the early Western shows, including Man Without A Gun and Cheyenne. He also wrote for such high-profile television programs as Philco Television Playhouse, The Loretta Young Show, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, This Man Dawson, and Naked City.

Prior to his Hollywood career, Cockrell was a prolific writer of short stories. Over a 25-year period, beginning in 1932, his works appeared regularly in pulp fiction magazines such as Blue Book and Argosy as well as in “slicks” like Collier’s, Saturday Evening Post and Cosmopolitan.

Now, for the first time, these stories have been collected in a three-volume set edited by Roger Coleman, Cockrell’s son-in-law. Coleman, also a writer, is married to Cockrell’s daughter, Elizabeth.
