Black Lizard was a renowned publisher of classic noir crime fiction. A venture of the Creative Arts Book Company of Berkeley, California, Lizard specialized in rediscovering forgotten classic crime fiction writers and their work from the 1930s to the 1960s. Founded by Donald Ellis and edited by writer Barry Gifford, Black Lizard released over ninety books between 1984 and 1990, including novels by Charles Willeford, David Goodis, Peter Rabe, Harry Whittington, Dan J. Marlowe, Charles Williams, and Lionel White. Lizard is single-handedly responsible for renewing the interest in pulp master Jim Thompson in the late 1980s, long after his death. The original series were mass-market paperbacks with vivid eye catching covers by Kirwan.
