Description

Charlie Chan is Earl Derr Biggers's fictional detective whose adaptations included 1930s and 1940s American radio programs.

Charlie Chan is a fictional police detective created by author Earl Derr Biggers for the titular series of mystery novels. Biggers loosely based Chan on Hawaiian detective Chang Apana. The benevolent and heroic Chan was conceived as an alternative to Yellow Peril stereotypes and villains like Fu Manchu, though nevertheless is an example of "yellowface".
