Kenneth Robeson is the house pen name under which the Doc Savage and the Avenger pulp series were written. The pseudonym was created by Street & Smith executives, such as Henry Ralston.

 

The vast majority of the books by Kenneth Robeson were written by the initial author of the Doc Savage series, Lester Dent. Dent wrote 165 of the 181 Doc Savage novels. However, Dent later hired several ghosts to help write some of the series, including Harold Davis, Laurence Donovan, Ryerson Johnson, William G Bogart, Evelyn Coulson, and Alan Hathaway.

 

The original Avenger series was written by Paul Ernst, which, being based on the Doc Savage series and success, used the same house author name.

 

Later, when both series were reprinted from the 1960s-1980s, Ron Goulart was hired to write new novels in The Avenger series, and Will Murray was hired to write new Doc Savage adventures based on outlines left by Lester Dent.
