Hi! If you're interested in the rather obscure Dig Allen Space Explorer series, then you've come to the right place. For those of you who haven't heard of this series, I'll give a little background. The six volume series, which is set in the 22^nd century, chronicles the adventures of a three-man team of teenage space explorers. The series first appeared in 1959, but for various reasons, it failed to sell well and its last volume was published in 1962.

Information on the series has been nearly impossible to obtain. From my own experience as a collector, though, I have found some little information, which I am publishing here. Please bear in mind that all of this has been gained from personal experience, so there could be an error here somewhere.

Here is how the listing works. Each of the links on the list below link to a page that gives information on each of the books. To access the information, simply click on the link.

Who wrote the Digby Allen series? -- Includes a letter written by the son of the author of the Dig Allen series.

Dig Allen: Doomed to Obscurity? -- An article on the current status of the series, and a plea for help with getting these great books back on the shelves in bookstores.

Formats of Dig Allen Books -- a short article on the different formats that the Dig Allen Space Explorer books are available in.

The Foreign Dig Allen Books -- a short article and some images from the Dig Allen books which were translated into other languages.

The Starman Series We set out to finish the Dig Allen series; instead, we ran aground with copyright problems and decided to write a new series of books for the children of today.

Question: I have heard a rumour that Joseph Greene was planning to write a seventh Dig Allen title called The Children of Neptune. Can anyone confirm this? If so, please e-mail me!
