The Hardy Boys Casefiles Series

Hardy Boys Casefiles Cover Art Styles

The Casefiles were aimed at early-to-mid teen readers and had more mature, espionage based themes. The new direction the series would take was promptly illustrated in the first volume, Dead On Target. A bomb planted in the Boys car blows Joe's longtime girlfriend, Iola Morton, to smithereens in the first chapter. Oddly enough, Iola remained alive and well in the Digests, thereby creating two different Hardy "worlds".

At times working with the mysterious Gray Man and his shadowy spy organization combating the forces of the Assassins, an evil international criminal organization, the Boys were now fighting far more serious crime, traveling undercover throughout the country and around the world.

In general, there is more action and much more violence in this series than as is in either the Digest or the original series. Both the Hardys show far more interest in the opposite sex, especially Joe, who apparently overcame his grief and became quite the little skirt chaser.

Simon & Schuster released the first two Casefiles under their Archway imprint in April 1987 and continued to release a new title monthly until November 1997. In January 1998 the last Casefile, #127 Dead In The Water, was released. At this time, no new Casefile stories are planned, however, nine of the old stories were reprinted in three Collector's Edition books.

In an effort to promote the new series, Simon & Schuster gave away a 64 page paperback sampler containing chapters from the first four Casefiles in 1987.

In 1988, the first ten titles were also published in large-type PC hardcovers by Grey Castle Press, some of which were bound into library editions by Gareth Stevens Publishing. The Stevens volumes have heavier, more thickly laminated covers and have a "GS" logo on the spine over the Grey Castle logo. All these volumes are quite difficult to find, particularly Stevens volumes which have not seen library usage. Also in the late 1980's, volumes 7 Deathgame and 33 Collision Course were released in hardbound picture cover editions as part of the Weekly Reader Just For Boys series.

None of the books have internal illustrations. Hardy Boys British 3 in 1 Casefile The first 66 volumes had yellow page edging, after that the edges were plain. Some variations of the back cover where the white box for the bar code number has been left blank have been observed. Some volumes were reissued with different ISBN numbers.
Volumes 64-66 form the Operation Phoenix trilogy.
Volumes 76-78 form the Ring Of Evil trilogy.

Several different Gift Sets were offered, usually containing 5 Casefiles or 4 Casefiles & 1 Nancy Drew-Hardy Boys Supermystery.

Hardcover rebindings, primarily for library use, made by Demco and others have been observed.

As of September 2003, Armada (UK) continues to publish the existing Casefiles in Great Britain. Their editions used either modified U.S. or a completely new cover art. Several 2 In 1 and 3 In 1 editions were also released.

In late 2005 Simon & Schuster released the "Collector's Edition" volume 2 in a hardcover with a "Digest" style cover featuring modified art from Digest #152 Danger In The Extreme

Starting in 2005, Armada (UK) reprinted some Casefiles as part of the Undercover Brothers series.
