The 1960s and 70s saw several pulp hero titles being reissued in paperback. Along with the reprints, new stories were commissioned, and unpublished stories by original pulp authors were unearthed.
Walter Gibson wrote Return of the Shadow for Belmont in 1963. Dennis Lynds wrote eight new Shadow novels between 1964 and 1967. The Shadow is unusual in that the new original stories came first, and the reprints sporadically afterwards.
Ron Goulart wrote twelve new Avenger novels for Warner in 1974 and 1975.
The Doc Savage story In Hell, Madonna was written by Lester Dent in 1948, but was published in 1979 by Bantam Books as Red Spider.
In 1943, Donald C. Cormack wrote an unpublished Spider novel, Slaughter Inc. It was rewritten and released as Legend in Blue Steel in 1979.
