Introduction

The British author Peter C. Watts (1919-1983; not Canadian SF-author with same name born in 1958) had his first western novels published under the pseudonym Matt Chisholm in 1958 by Panther Books Ltd, started by Hamilton’s in London in 1952. Altogether 65 of his novels were first published by Panther, the last one in 1971. In 1961 and 1962 two of his novels were published under the pseudonym Luke Jones by Consul Books, an imprint of World Distributors (Manchester), active between 1961 and 1966. In 1963 Watts had two of his Chisholm novels published by Mayflower Books Ltd, or Mayflower Dell, started in 1962 as a British branch of the US Dell Publisher. Altogether 26 of his novels were first published by Mayflower, the last one in 1974. Both Mayflower and Panther Books were in 1968 bought by Granada Publishing Ltd, who owned them until 1983, when they were sold to William Collins, Sons & Co Ltd in Glasgow.  Between 1978 and 1981 Watts had 22 new Chisholm titles published by Hamlyn Books, at the time a part of the IPC media group. Outside Great Britain, Watts had between 1974 and 1984 another 22 of his novels published as first editions in Norwegian translation by the Bladkompaniet publisher in Oslo. The pseudonym Cy James was first used by Watts in 1963, and whereas Matt Chisholm was used on 112 of his first editions, Cy James was used on only 21. In some of the German editions, Watts novels were published under house names like Les Hondo, Ben Tucker, and Gordon Forbes Uvalde.

Many Matt Chisholm books were bestsellers with a wide distribution globally, and the back cover blurb on Mayflower’s editions from the 70’s cites Daily Mirror: “Matt Chisholm has one of the biggest world sales of any writer – seven million people in eleven countries have bought his tales.” Besides the countries cited below, the English editions were sold also in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Singapore, and South Africa, according to the back cover price information. Bastei’s German McAllister paperbacks had back cover prices indicating distribution in Austria, Belgium, France, Italy, Netherlands, and Switzerland.

Format of bibliography

The bibliography includes 579 editions in nine different languages from eleven different countries of 135 western novels by Peter Watts. Most editions are paperbacks, and other formats included are hardbacks, magazines, romanhefte, and e-books. Audiobook editions are excluded. The basic unit in the bibliography is the story, recognized by its contents and named by the title used in its first and original publication.

Based on the name of the lead character, novel-length stories are here separated into 50 stand-alone and the following five series based on the name of the lead character: Blade (13), Hodge (3), McAllister (51), Spur (9) and Storm (9). Within each category the original titles are sorted alphabetically. Different editions of each story are first sorted after country of publication, with England first and the others following in alphabetical order, and then after year of publication. It is noted when the author name used on an edition differs from the one used on the first edition.

Within parenthesis after the author name of the first edition are given for each story some names of characters or towns mentioned in the text. When the full text of the novel was not available these names were taken from back cover blurb or e-book previews. In the stand-alone novels, two names representing the lead protagonist and antagonist or female partner were aimed at, whereas in novels belonging to series with a fixed hero, only one additional name was aimed at. The replacement of the name of the lead character in later editions is noted, a practice seemingly restricted to Norway and the Bladkompaniet publisher.

Geography of editions

Besides the 237 British editions, Norway stands out with their 151 editions, followed by Sweden with 60 and Germany with 58. Noteworthy are also the 24 Danish and 25 USA editions, whereas the remaining five countries all had ten or less. As noted in the introduction, Norway is unique in having 22 Matt Chisholm titles, only published in this country. Consequently, 129 of the 135 Watts’s western novels have been published in Norwegian translation, compared to only 113 in English. Of other languages, 57 novels exist in Swedish, 48 in German and 23 in Danish translations, whereas no other language has more than ten titles translated. It should here be noted that the Swedish McAllister series of books included 38 titles, of which only the first 13 ones were by Watts as Matt Chisholm. The remaining titles were either old novels by Australian authors with the name of the lead character changed to McAllister or new novels by Swedish authors.

Looking at the individual titles, the stand-alone novel The proud horseman from 1963 is the only one that never got translated into any other language. Many of the stand-alone novels were translated into Norwegian and Swedish, some also into German, and occasional ones also into some other language. The Blade series titles were translated into Norwegian on the spot, but not into any other language. The Storm family titles were translated into German and Norwegian, and three of them also into Swedish. A pattern more or less shared with the three Ben Hodge titles. All Spur titles appeared also in Norwegian, and minor selections of them also in Danish, German, and Swedish. Whereas the later McAllister titles, from after 1972, were translated almost exclusively into Norwegian, the majority of the earlier ones had a wide dissemination. Titles like McAllister and Gunsmoke for McAllister were published in eight different countries and translated into seven different languages.

Series and subseries

Of all Watts’s western novels, only Hamlyn’s Blade and McAllister titles formed separately numbered series at the time of their first publication. Of the translated editions, only the Danish, German, and Swedish McAllister series are of this kind. In the absence of a separate enumeration, there are several examples of subseries among the studied editions. Uniformity of cover design characterizes both the Panther and Mayflower McAllister subseries, as well as the Panther/Mayflower Storm family subseries. On the other hand, the Piccadilly Spur e-book series is a later construct, not evident from the seemingly stand-alone paperback editions.

In Norway, Bladkompaniet’s Stjernebok editions of Watts’s novels form a special case. Stjerneserien was started already in 1939 and had reached 2560 numbered titles when ended in year 2000. Books including western stories were frequently marked with the “Stjernewestern” logo. The McAllister subseries started in 1972 with book no. 473. After 35 titles the name of the subseries was changed to M. Chisholm. It ended after 128 titles in 1984 with Stjernebok no. 1103. Within the subseries books were also marked as belonging to an additional sublevel, like Joe Blade or Sam Spur.

Ambiguous titles

Book series named after the hero may have a problem with the correct citation of titles (Nilsson 2014), and McAllister is no exception. The problem is based on the question of when the series’ logo, i.e. the name of the hero, is part of the title and when not. Looking at the different British McAllister editions illustrates the problem well. The name McAllister as cover logo on the 1969-1970 Panther editions is evidently part of each book’s title. On the other hand, on the Mayflower 1975-1977 editions all titles are printed on the cover separate from the subseries’ name, and the name of the hero is part of only some of the titles. The Hamlyn 1981 titles are, however, ambiguous, as the logo is evidently part of the titles of the four first ones, but seemingly not so of the four last ones. As libraries as a rule register titles from a book’s title page, problems of this kind are hard to settle without access to entire books.

Cover art

Looking at cover art on the 72 British Panther editions of Watts’s novels, a clear pattern emerges. Whereas the first title, Half-breed, has a locally produced cover by Pat Owen, it is followed by a long series of second-hand cover paintings imported from USA. In 1964, the US covers are almost totally replaced with paintings of Spanish artists like Noiquet and Longaron, most of them previously used on the Spanish paperback series Best Sellers del Oeste, published by Toray. The Spanish paintings are in their turn 1969 replaced with locally produced covers by Gino D’Achille, marketing the popular McAllister as a distinct subseries of Panther Books. Finally, the two Storm subseries Panther editions have locally produced cover paintings by Gino D’Achille and Carol Binch, respectively.

Original paintings can besides on many of the British editions be seen chiefly on the Croatian and Italian editions. The British original paintings by Gino D’Achille on the 1969-1970 Panther McAllister subseries were later used on the US editions and on many of the titles in the Danish McAllister series of books. This was one of the rare cases of US import of western paperbacks, including both texts and cover art (Nilsson 2019).

The paintings by Chris Achilleos used on the 1975-1977 Mayflower McAllister edition were seemingly not used on any foreign editions. David McAllister made the cover art for Hamlyn’s Joe Blade and McAllister series, and Chris Collingwood is the artist behind the cover paintings on the two 2^nd edition Blade books. Whereas the earlier Norwegian editions had some locally produced cover art, the Stjerneserien covers represent a mix of paintings of Spanish and US origin plus many by the German artist Günther König. One can also find a few examples of manually copied British cover art on some of the earlier Norwegian books, like the Arena translation of Never give ground. The Swedish translation of Hang a man high is another example of a manually copied cover painting, and this painting by John Leone was first used in 1956 in USA on Pyramid Book #203, Lynch Law by Paul Evan. Also the Swedish translation of Hangrope for a gunman had a manually copied cover painting, and this painting by Victor Prezio was first used in 1959 on Pyramid Books #455 Holster law by Bradford Scott. Photographic cover art was used on the Swedish 1970-1972 McAllister series, as well as on the Finnish subset of titles in the Mustang series.

Short stories

The only western short story by Watts published in English is The return of McAllister in Western Magazine (UK) #2 1980. In Norway, on the other hand, about 40 translated McAllister short stories were published in Bladkompaniet’s magazine Western between 1972 and 1982. Selections of these stories were also published as seven paperbacks in the Stjernebok series: 553, 1974 Desperado, 582, 1975 McAllister’s likemann, 743, 1979 McAllister på krigsstien, 808, 1980 Ridder med revolver, 979 1982 Trøbbel i El Paso, 1035, 1983 Renegados!, and 1062, 1983 Tucson terror.
