The Kim Newman/Eugene Byrne Alternate World Page:

Psychic investigator Richard Jeperson first appeared in plays and stories Kim Newman wrote as a schoolboy in the 1970s, which are mercifully lost to history. He revived the character in the story "End of the Pier Show" and has been adding to the canon off and on ever since. The bulk of the stories are set during Jeperson's paisley-drenched heyday, but "Swellhead" brings the series into the twenty-first century and the hero out of enforced retirement.
