OVERVIEW The adventures of fictional "Jerry Cotton" was developed in 1956 and the first novella with this name on the front-page appeared with the title "Ich jagte den Diamanten-Hai" (''I hunted down the diamond-shark''). In 2005 the series reached the 2500th edition, "Expenditure". A group of over 100 Author s write for the Magazines , sold in many kiosks and over newsagents. Rolf Kalmuczak , who is the major author behind this name, made the TKKG series famous as ''Stefan Wolf''. The motto of the series could be described as ''"Crime without Sex"'', as women arise as characters only once in a while. Important figures of the series are, besides Cotton, his partner ''Phil Decker'', FBI-chief ''John D. High'', Annie Geraldo, Zeerookah, June Clark, Roby O'Hara, Myrna, Windermeere and his Smith & Wesson , a 38 Caliber Smith & Wesson Special. Jerry Cotton also drives a red Jaguar E-type , built in 1966. Even tough Jerry Cotton novels are considered Trivial Literature by some people, the FBI agent has a faithful fan community (just like his equally longlived Science Fiction counterpart , '' Perry Rhodan ''). Several Jerry Cotton novels were adapted as Radio Play s. One of the few pages in German states that Jerry Cotton indeed is a fictional agent and therefore it doesn't make sense to write fan-letters to him. AUTHORS Prominent authors, who admit cooperation with the Jerry Cotton series include:
