 Carter Brown's huge international success saw reportedly 120 million books in print, second only to The Bible in terms of the number of languages into which they were translated.The success of the books also spawned a comic book series, the 'Carter Brown Murder Mystery Hour' on radio, three French films, a Japanese TV series, and a French literary award for 'The most whiskies drunk in a single novel'.In the early 1980s, Yates and Richard O'Brien of "The Rocky Horror Show" fame wrote a musical of "The Stripper", described in classic Carter Brown terminology as 'the girl who says it all from the neck down'.
