Beautiful. Do you know if there's any connection to Harry Schaare, the later commercial artist?

I don't know, but a quick search reveals that Harry was born in 1922 on Long Island, and Chris was married in 1920, had 6 sons, and lived in NJ.  So it's possible they're father and son.

Did some quick research and it looks like Chris was Harry's Uncle. Harry's father was Henry Schaare and Henry appears in the 1910 Census living in West Hoboken, NJ, with a brother, Christopher Jr., who is a brass engraver. David Saunders pulp bio confirms that was how and where Chris started out so I'm sure that's the man. Interesting stuff. Chris was very successful in the pulps so I wonder if Harry got an "in" through his uncle? Certainly couldn't have hurt! Both were exceptional artists.

Yes, something like 4,000+ appearances going back to the 1880s.  Heritage recently sold his very first appearance in a detective dime novel from back then.

From Victorian sleuth to hardboiled detective to international spy to boy band refugee, Nick Carter has had an interesting career.
