Frank Reade, Jr. was a fictional teen-age, steampunk, inventor-hero of the late 19th century. He starred in at least 179 action dime novels. His father was featured in only four novels, and relied on steam power. Frank Jr. turned to electricity and invented about every kind of land, see and air vehicle you can imagine, including electric robots. In one story, he even ventured accidentally into space.
Frank's mother, Mary, is introduced in one of his stories. His wife, Emilie, son Frank III, and daughter Kate show up from time to time, as well. No matter the title, you can depend upon Frank and his sidekicks to provide fast-paced tales of adventure on, over and under land and sea.
Harry Cohen wrote the Frank Reade, Sr. series as "Noname." Cohen also wrote as Harry Enton. In 1879, Luis Senarens took over the series and the pen name; he was only sixteen. Senarens began his first Frank Reade book by shoving Frank into middle-age, retiring him, and announcing that his son had taken over as an inventor. Senarens is said to have written under twenty-six names besides "Noname," but almost never as himself.
