'''Renegade Press''' was an American [[comic book]] company, founded by [[Canada|Canadian]] [[Deni Loubert]], that operated from 1984 to 1988. Notable titles published by Renegade included ''[[Flaming Carrot]]'', ''[[Ms. Tree (comic book)|Ms. Tree]]'', and ''[[normalman]]''.

==History==
Loubert was publisher of [[Aardvark-Vanaheim]] until she and husband [[Dave Sim]] (owner and major contributor to Aardvark-Vanaheim) divorced, at which point she started Renegade and moved to the United States. With the move, all of Aardvark-Vanaheim's titles (with the exception of ''[[Cerebus]]'') left that publisher to continue with Renegade. These included ''[[Flaming Carrot Comics]]'', ''[[normalman]]'', ''[[Neil the Horse]]'', and ''[[Ms. Tree (comic book)|Ms. Tree]]''.

Although Renegade started in high-profile fashion, its titles suffered from low print runs.<ref>"High Profile and Low Print Runs", ''The Comics Journal'' #119 (January 1988), pp. 40–48.</ref> In early 1988, Renegade refit its publishing strategy,<ref>"Renegade Refits Publishing Strategy", ''The Comics Journal'' #127 (February 1989), pp. 17–18.</ref> but suspended all publications later that year. In July 1989 the publisher was shut down for good.<ref>"Renegade Shuts Down", ''The Comics Journal'' #130 (July 1989), p. 23.</ref>

'''John Richard Newton Chance''' (1911 – 3 August 1983), who wrote as '''John Lymington''', was born in [[London]]. He was a prolific writer of [[Short story|short stories]], [[children's literature]], [[Mystery fiction|mystery]] and [[science fiction]] [[novel]]s. An obituary in Ansible [http://news.ansible.co.uk/a38.html] credits Lymington with writing over 150 novels, 'including 20+ SF potboilers', adding that he 'made a steady income by delivering thrillers to [[Robert Hale and Company|Robert Hale]] (the publisher) at a chapter a week'.

Lymington's first book, ''Wheels in the Forest,'' was written in 1935. Pseudonyms used by Lymington throughout his career included John Drummond, David C. Newton, Desmond Reid (see '[[#Sexton Blake|Sexton Blake]]') and Jonathan Chance. Brian Stableford suggested in the Historical Dictionary of Science Fiction Literature (pp. 208) that the name Lymington was chosen 'in a blatant attempt to cash in' on John Wyndham's popularity.

Chance was educated in a private school in London, and subsequently attended a technical college with the intention of becoming a civil engineer, an ambition which he left behind to become a quantity surveyor. By the age of 21, he decided to give up this job and began to work full-time as a writer.

During his career with the RAF, which began in the summer of 1940, he became a flying instructor at [[South Cerney]], [[Long Newnton]] and [[Bibury]] airfields [http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=9247393359440112911,51.632989,-2.131984&time=&date=&ttype=&saddr=long+newnton,+gloucestershire,+united+kingdom&daddr=South+Cerney,+Cirencester,+Gloucestershire,+United+Kingdom+to:tetbury,+gloucestershire,+united+kingdom&sll=51.66276,-2.046204&sspn=0.178459,0.466919&ie=UTF8&ll=51.66302,-2.046085&spn=0.178457,0.466919&z=11&om=1] in the [[Cotswolds]]. The three airfields were administrated under the Cerney office. In this role, he applied experience of flying, from as early as 1928. In 1943 he met his wife-to-be, Shirley Savill, at the time serving as a section officer in the [[Women's Auxiliary Air Force|WAAF]] (Women's Auxiliary Air Force). They married on 22 July. In November of that year, Chance was given indefinite leave, and was invalided out with the permanent rank of flight lieutenant on 8 February 1944. He wrote about this time in his autobiography, ''[[Yellow Belly (autobiography)|Yellow Belly]]'', published by Robert Hale in 1959. After the war, he moved to Hampshire with his wife, where their three sons were born. The family moved to the Isle of Wight in 1956, to take up management of a pub.

== Bibliography ==
Whilst certain of his adult novels enjoyed wide success and translation, he is also fondly remembered for the 'Bunst' children's series, starring eccentric inventor Audacious Cotterell and his youthful sidekick, Bunst (a contraction of his nickname, Bunstuffer).

===The 'Bunst' books===
Certain bibliographies include only the latter four of these as 'Bunst' books; however, all six involve the same principal characters.

* ''The Dangerous Road'' (1948) (writing as David C Newton)

* ''Bunst the Bold'' (1950)
* ''Bunst and the Secret Six'' (1951)
* ''Bunst and the Flying Eye'' (1953)

===Sci-fi / Fantasy===
Several of Lymington's short stories were collected in ''The Night Spiders'' in 1964. ''[[Night of the Big Heat]]'' (1959) is probably his most well-known title, due to its 1967 [[Night of the Big Heat (film)|film adaptation]].

Note that 'Desmond Reid' appears to have been used as a catch-all pseudonym for this series, so it is possible that certain pieces credited to this name actually originated with him.
