John Creasey published over 600 novels. The story goes that booksellers complained that they didn't have enough space on their shelves under C for all his books, so he started using pseudonyms. Apparently he had more than 28 different pseudonyms during his career.
Edgar Wallace is often considered the most prolific writer of his generation, but he "only" published 170 novels, compared to Creasey's 600 plus. But Wallace also wrote a vast number of short stories, as well as many plays. I think I read somewhere that he would typically turn out a full-length novel in the course of a weekend.
