So popular were Reade's "invention" stories that the character was given his own weekly title in 1892 (also written by Senarens under the Noname pseudonym) titled the Frank Reade Library. Over the course of 191 issues readers learned about a remarkable array of robots, air craft, submersibles, armored vehicles, and powered land and sea vessels. David Buckley has an informative webpage with pictures of early robots and mechanical men, as well as background on stories of steam-driven robots.

  • So popular were Reade's "invention" stories that the character was given his own weekly title in 1892 (also written by Senarens under the Noname pseudonym) titled the Frank Reade Library. Over the course of 191 issues readers learned about a remarkable array of robots, air craft, submersibles, armored vehicles, and powered land and sea vessels. In a bit more than thirty years, Senarens wrote some forty million words and 1,500 individual stories under 27 pseudonyms, rarely leaving his home in Brooklyn, New York. His prophetic output was so enormous that he earned the nickname, the American Jules Verne. Verne, himself, in fact, borrowed from Senarens the basic idea of grand steam-powered inventions for his own The Steam House (1880) and acknowledged it in a letter to the 14-year-old (who was too embarrassed to reply right away for fear his age might be discerned from his handwriting). David Buckley has an informative webpage with pictures of early robots and mechanical men, as well as background on stories of steam-driven robots.
