Later, the family moved to Chula Vista, California just after World War II (Nolan was unable to serve due to flat feet and poor vision). He held very fond memories of his childhood. An avid reader, he devoured Max Brand, comic books (especially Batman), the pulps, and any other books he could get his hands on. Nolan spent his youth riding his bike up and down nearby Troost Avenue, close to the Isis Theater, meeting with friends to spend hot days in the cool of the movie palace, where they watched Westerns, ate candy, and reveled in the adventures of Tom Mix and other film heroes of the day.
The family resided on Forest Avenue in a predominantly Irish section of the city. His mother, Bernadette Mariana Kelly Nolan, was a stenographer.
His father, Michael Cahill Nolan, was an adventurer and sportsman. Born in Kansas City, Missouri, Nolan was an only child.
