HARDY BOYS: UNDERCOVER BROTHERS Starting 2005 Undercover Brothers Art Gallery

Starting in 2005 this series of paperbacks replaced the venerable Digest series. The Hardy Boys have been drafted by A.T.A.C (American Teens Against Crime), a top-secret government agency, founded in part by their father, Fenton. The first copies of volumes 1-4 hit the bookstores in mid-April 2005. Volume 1 had an introductory price of $1.99 which was raised to same same price of the other volumes ($4.99) on subsequent printings. The stories are told in first person style with Frank & Joe alternating chapters. Each story begins at the climax of an undescribed mystery then segues into the Boys getting their latest "mission". In 2005, Armada (UK) reprinted some Casefiles as part of the Undercover Brothers series. This was not done for the US editions. In 2008, the cover format was changed starting with #22 Deprivation House.

HARDY BOYS DIGESTS 1979-2005

After the 1979 court battle in which Grosset & Dunlap lost the rights to publish any new Hardy Boys tales, Simon & Schuster started publishing new stories in paperback format, first under the Wanderer imprint (volumes 59-85) and then under the Minstrel imprint. Beginning with volume 171, The Test Case, in January 2002, new Digests were released under Simon & Schuster's Alladin imprint, with some older volumes being reprinted under this imprint. The Digest series ended in 2005 and was replaced by The Hardy Boys: Undercover Brothers The 27 Wanderer volumes were also issued in hardcover with a dust jacket using the same basic art as the paperbacks. Each volume used a different color cloth binding. These books (especially the later volumes) are very difficult to locate, particularly those which have not seen library usage. The stories themselves continued along the same lines as the first 58 tales although the Digests are generally shorter. All the regular characters from the original series show up here also. That this series was meant to be viewed as a continuation of the original series is demonstrated by the fact that the book numbering starts with #59 instead of #1 and that early editions of the last Grosset & Dunlap book, The Sting Of The Scorpion, contained a plug for Night Of The Werewolf as the next volume. After a slow start in 1979-1980, Simon & Schuster began releasing six new titles every year. This slowed down to three volumes per year in 1984-1985 and stopped all together in 1986. In late 1987 the series resumed and from that time (except for 2000), Simon & Schuster continued to release a new volume every other month until the series was discontinued in 2005. In 1979, Scholastic Books released a paperback edition of volume 59, Night Of The Werewolf, with a slightly modified cover and title page. Starting in 1980, several different boxed Gift Sets containing three to five volumes were offered. The art on the gift box was usually taken from one of the books contained therein, however this is not always the case and sealed gift sets using the same art but containing different volumes have been seen. A spoken version of volume 64, Mystery Of Smugglers Cove, was released in a boxed two tape set by the Cassette Book Company in 1985. Volume 95, Danger On The Air, was also released in a hardbound picture cover edition as part of the Weekly Reader Just For Boys series in 1989. Volume 100, The Secret Of The Island Treasure, was in print for a very short period and is difficult to locate. My research indicates that it went through three printings, the last for inclusion in a boxed gift set with #'s 99, 101 & 102. Volume 143, The Giant Rat of Sumatra, adopted it's name from an "untold" tale mentioned in several of the famous Sherlock Holmes mysteries by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Hardcover rebindings, primarily for library use, made by Demco and others have been observed. Many of the Digests in were published in Great Britain in paperback by Armada and in hardbound picture cover editions by Angus & Robertson. After the demise of the Casefiles series, some unused manuscripts from that series were recycled for use in the Digest series. Starting with Volume #166 Past And Present Danger, some new Digests released as e-books (downloadable text designed to be read by special software) as well as in the traditional paperback format. To celebrate the Hardys' 75th anniversary in 2002, Simon & Schuster released a "Collector's Edition" which contains The Caribbean Cruise Caper (#154); DareDevils (#159); Skin And Bones (#164) Starting in 2005 Grosset & Dunlap began reprinting hardcover editions of the Digests using slightly modified art from the original Wanderer editions. Cover Designs Over the years the basic cover design of the Digests has changed several times. Most of the time, when existing stories were changed to a new cover style, they were given completely new cover art and volumes 59-88 can have up to three different cover art types each. Volumes 59-82 contain internal illustrations. For Styles 3 & 4, most existing in-print volumes were changed to the new style. For Style 5 or 6, none of the existing in-print titles were changed to reflect the new cover designs. Style 1 was used on all Wanderer books from 1979-1985 and Minstrel #69, The Four-Headed Dragon, in 1987. Style 2 was used only on Wanderer #83, The Swamp Monster, in 1985. Style 3 was used for some second cover art releases from 1985-1989. Style 4, which is similar to style 3, was used on Minstrel books from 1987-1995. Style 5 began with volume 136, The Cold Cash Caper, in 1996. Note: #160, A Game Called Chaos, was reprinted in the new, larger size as seen in Style 6a but under the Minstrel imprint. Style 6 began with volume 161, Training For Trouble, in 2000. This style breaks with 73 years of tradition in that neither of the Hardy Boys appears on the cover. Style 6a Starting with #171, The Test Case, the Digests were issued under the Alladin imprint and the books are slightly larger. The cover style remained unchanged. Style 7 began with volume 173, Speed Times Five, in 2002. Same as Style 6a but with a blue spine. Several older Minstrel titles were rereleased under the Alladin imprint in this new format.

	5: Dinosaur Disaster For Sale Release date: March 1998 Cover illustration: Thompson Studio Internal illustrations: Marcy Ramsey    How hard can it be to find a missing dinosaur?

Tom Swift joined forces with the Hardy Boys for two books in this unusual short-lived series published by Simon & Schuster under its Archway imprint.
Produced by Byron Preiss Visual Publications, Inc.
Despite the use of the Franklin W. Dixon pseudonym and some Casefile-like elements, the stories are more closely related to the then current Tom Swift IV series.
Format: Neither volume contains internal illustrations.
The first book has a medium blue spine & back and yellow page tops
The second has a very dark blue (almost black) spine & back and plain page tops.
No hardcover editions were published although library hardcover rebindings may exist. Highlighted Titles Are Available For Sale From Amazon.com

1: Time Bomb - August 1992 - Cover Art: Romas Kukalis For Sale
   A dream that has long fired the human imagination has become a reality: time travel. But as Tom Swift and the Hardy boys are about to discover, the dream can become a nightmare in the blink of an eye. An attack force of techno-thugs, under the command of the evil genius the Black Dragon, have seized control of a top-secret time-warp trigger.
Frank and Joe and Tom leap into battle--shock troops in a war that stretches across the aeons to the edge of time. But whether chasing asteroids or dodging dinosaurs, they haven't a moment to lose. They must stop the Dragon before he carries out his final threat: turning the time machine into the ultimate doomsday device!

2: The Alien Factor - June 1993 - Cover Art: Michael Herring For Sale
   Tom Swift has caught a falling star-- a visitor from outer space who is as beautiful as she is strange. But his secret encounter has set off alarms at the highest levels of government. A top-secret intelligence agency believes he's involved in an espionage and smuggling ring. To check Tom out, the Network sends two of it's top operatives: Frank and Joe Hardy.
But when the alien is kidnapped by a sinister industrialist, Frank and Joe and Tom realize they have to work together. They're dealing with a conspiracy that stretches from the farthest reaches of space into the deepest recesses of their own government. The fate of the country and the planet could rest on uncovering the shocking truth about the girl from another world!

NANCY DREW AND THE HARDY BOYS SUPER MYSTERIES

HARDY BOYS WANDERER EDITIONS

When Simon & Schuster took over the publishing of all new Hardy Boys stories in 1979, all new books were released under their Wanderer Books imprint. Starting in late 1986 all books then being produced under the Wanderer imprint were reissued under the Minstrel Books imprint. All the Digests then in print received new cover art and volume 68 The Submarine Caper was retitled Deadly Chase.

Wanderer published Digest volumes 59 Night Of The Werewolf through 85 The Skyfire Puzzle and A Hardy Boys Handbook: Seven Stories Of Survival in paperback as well as in hardcover with dustjackets. The hardcover books, especially the later volumes, are difficult to locate and Seven Stories Of Survival is almost impossible to find. Most were sold to be library copies and pristine copies are scarce.

Wanderer released the only editions of Camp Fire Stories and Super Sleuths and the early editions of Ghost Stories. Since they produced hardcover editions until 1985, it's possible that these volumes may have been issued in that format although I have not seen any examples.
