"No pulp writer was more prolific than Frederick Faust, who wrote nearly 15 million words under the pen name of Max Brand and seventeen others. He sold all his stories and sometimes wrote complete issues of Western Story Magazine. But Faust's most famous character was not a Western hero but a doctor--Dr. Kildare--who inspired a film of the same name plus fifteen sequels and a television series starring Richard Chamberlain." (The Incredible Pulps: A Gallery of Fiction Magazine Art, c. 2006, p. 11).See also
