The Page of Fu Manchu

Dr. Lawrence J Knapp (September 19, 2010)
The original Page of Fu Manchu website represents an effort by scholars and readers worldwide to create a definitive Sax Rohmer bibliography, reference, and archive. It was edited and maintained by Dr. Lawrence Knapp, an English Professor at Thomas Edison State College. Dr. R. E. Briney, a Professor of Computer Science at Salem State College in Massachusetts, was the Associate Editor. Dr. Briney was also the editor of Master of Villainy: A Biography of Sax Rohmer, not to mention fourteen issues of The Rohmer Review.

The original Page of Fu Manchu website was located at http://www.njedge.net/~knapp/FuManchu.htm. Unfortunately, that site is no more. However, there's a slightly incomplete mirror of Knapp's original website located at http://www.philsp.com/SaxRohmer/FuManchu.htm. Additionally, snapshots of the original site were captured by the WayBack Machine available at the Internet Archive.

The philsp.com/SaxRohmer/FuManchu.htm mirror was captured Dec 17, 2011 @ 11:00:30 GMT.

The last known capture of http://www.njedge.net/~knapp/FuFrames.html was December 1, 2017 @ 4:56:24 PM GMT. The most recent update to that website was made November 20, 2017 @ 10:35:33 AM GMT, 11 days and 16 hours prior to this capture. By January 06, 2018, that website was no longer accessible.

Three pages from this capture are missing, Precursors.html, Max.html, and Finnish.html. To remedy this, I used the Precursors file from July 28, 2017, the Max file from October 2, 2015, and Finnish file from March 3, 2016. Those are the most recent captures available for each file.

Dr. Robert E. Briney, of Salem, died unexpectedly at his home on November 25, 2011, at the age of 77. Dr. Lawrence Knapp died on May 1, 2021. Knapp and Briney's research is historically and culturally significant. It should be preserved and publicly available!

There are two strips not listed: In 1940, The Chicago Tribune published an adaptation of Drums of Fu Manchu, with a style similar to that of Milton Caniff in Terry and the Pirates.

Between 1962 and 1973, the French newspaper Le Parisien Libéré published a comic strip by Juliette Benzoni (script) and Robert Bressy (art)
