Luis Senarens

Senarens added elements such as electricity, airships, and helicopters which resulted in him being called "the American Jules Verne.

"[2][3] The stories were very successful, and by the 1890s Senarens was asked by publisher Frank Tousey to write a similar series featuring Jack Wright, the "Boy Inventor".

[1] Later in the decade, Tousey created the Frank Reade Library, a periodical devoted to "invention" stories, largely (or wholly) composed by Senarens using the pseudonym Noname.

[4] In 1917 Senarens became the editor of the Tousey detective story periodical, Mystery Magazine.

[1] Senarens also wrote under the names Kit Clyde, W. J. Earle, Police Captain Howard, Noname and Ned Sparling.
