Sexton Blake detective first appeared in a story entitled "The Missing Millionaire" by Hal Meredith, printed in the sixth issue of the Halfpenny Marvel in 1893 (and reprinted in Collector's Pie 2 by Howard Baker). The Halfpenny Marvel and the Union Jack Library initially ran a variety of adventure, thriller and detective stories (daring detectives, escaped convicts, mad scientists, etc.), including a number of Sexton Blake's rivals (e.g. Nelson Lee). Eventually the Union Jack's main story became a Sexton Blake one, with a variety of authors contributing stories. Howard Baker Press published two volumes of Union Jack facsimile editions, and also included Union Jack facsimiles in a number of their annual and omnibus volumes.
