The Three Investigators in Denmark

Covers from the publishing houses of Hasselbalch, old Lademann, new Lademann, Aschehoug

 

Introduction

The Three Investigators have been published by three publishing houses in Denmark. For a long time I thought that the first book, The Secret of Terror Castle, was published in 1964 by "Lademann", but that was wrong. The first book on Lademann came in 1972, but they only mentioned the copyright Year in America (1964) Hasselbalch was first and released 13 titles between 1966 and 1970, in the same order as in The U.S. Some of them were published in two or three editions. From 1969 these books have internal illustrations by Harry Kane. The covers seem to be the same as in America, except for The Secret of the Crooked cat.

Then there was "Lademann", who published all titles in the original series between 1972 and 1989, except Rogues´ Reunion, The Creep-Show Crooks and The Mystery of Wreckers Rock. No Find your fate mysteries or Crimebusters were translated. The publishing order is a mish-mash of old and new titles. They published the old Titles which were released before 1972 by "Hasselbalch" in new editions, and they also published the new titles from America. Around the year of 1980 there were new editions and the books got numbers. The cover artists are J.B. Penalva, A Badia-Camps, Palle Bregnhöi, Robert Adragna and Chr. W. Hansen.

4 of the titles on Lademan were published as "Luxery Editions" with dust covers around 1980 - Terror Castle, Coughing Dragon, Stuttering Parrot and Flaming Footprints.

2000 and 2001 a publishing house called "Aschehoug" are publishing the books in new editions with new covers by Peter Madsen.

You can see some of the covers by clicking on the underlined titles.
