Will Lill's Fun Adventure Comics! #11 hits the scene, featuring new narratives to get the adrenaline pumpin'!!!
First up is R. A. Jones' "Semper Fi", starring super tough-guy, the Reaver, a Cheyenne-Arapaho antihero who struts forth to get even with the mob for a truck-heist gone awry.
Eric Wright's audacious illustrations give this white-knuckled bout the perfect, punishing pitch, in a story that's certain to appeal to admirers of Bronson, Eastwood and Seagal. Trust me, this one sure ain't for the fainthearted!!!
Following Reaver's bloody brawl, we're treated to the second, exhilarating chapter of Ron Fortier's "Mark of the Gargoyle: Rocket's Red Glare", with exquisite artwork by Montos. Fortier's story (inspired from an idea by Dario Carrasco, Jr) follows Lord Greyford/the Gargoyle's unflagging attempt to dissect a Nazi-based murder case.
This time our costumed crusader takes his pursuit to the air, with Fortier granting gritty, aviation action to conclude his somber but breathtaking sojourn. Fasten those seat belts! This blazing jaunt combines the derring-do thrills of the Dark Knight with those of Captain Midnight. Not to be missed!!!
Issue #11's third entry comes from Lloyd Smith and artist Ian Groff. As with Smith's amazing Ash-Aman adventures, "DoomShadow" overflows with destructive passion, but is stationed in the here and now, where a disabled man seeks revenge on his wife and her lover in a most startling way.
Groff's sleek and shadowy images give Smith's story a swell, EC pizzazz, and the content rolls right out of "Rod Serling's Night Gallery", oozing a mind-bending mood that's destined to give readers a hearty nightmare or two. A ravaging ride of relentless retribution!!!
I give publisher and artist extraordinaire Warren Montgomery a big pat on the back for making Will Lill one of the most fascinating and eclectic comic-book sources on the block. Fun Adventure Comics! #11 is further proof of the exceptional entertainment his readers have come to expect.

All-Star Pulp Comics (Vol 4) is now available from Airship 27 Productions and Redbud Studio, serving three stories structured to satisfy one's adventurous cravings!!!
The first entry, "Mark of the Gargoyle: Rocket's Red Glare" is from applauded, New Pulp author, Ron Fortier (based on an idea from Dario Carrasco, Jr) and features Boston protector, Lord Greyford, aka, the Gargoyle, investigating a Nazi-linked murder. The stylish melodrama brims of mystery, intrigue and thanks to Montos' alluring artwork, ample atmosphere.
I actually reviewed the first part of this story earlier this month for Will Lill's Fun Adventure Comics! #10. However, All-Star Pulp Comics (Vol 4) features the entire saga. Therefore, for those who desire a jump start on the rest, All-Star Pulp is the way to go. (BTW: The second half of "Rocket's Red Glare" presents some amazing, aviation action, placing our dark crusader in far different turf than we find in the first.)
Following the Gargoyle's daring jaunt, author/illustrator Kevin Broden gives us his version of Golden Age veteran, the Veiled Avenger, in an eponymous tale with impressive, period-style artwork. (BTW: the super-talented Broden is fashioning the interior illustrations for my upcoming Airship 27 novel, "The Persona, Vol 2". Cool!!!)
At any rate, for those unaware, the Veiled Avenger is, in actuality, Ginny Spears: an unassuming secretary by day and a sexy, strong, whip-snapping lass by night. Broden's yarn captures not only the fiery fury of her original exploits, but that classic chapter play, "Zorro's Black Whip". (Now that I think of it, "Black Whip'"s lead, Linda Stirling {and her trusty stunt double, Babe DeFreest} would have made an excellent Veiled Avenger.) Readers will be engrossed as our heroine tackles mobsters who wish to harm her dedicated, district-attorney boss, "Max" Maxwell.
To complement "The Veiled Avenger", Vol 4 is concluded by another swell Fortier tale, this one penciled with precision by Kevin Wiggins, in what's called "Operation: American Maid". The story introduces us to yet another energetic beauty, who springs forth to snuff a treacherous Arizona assault.
The physically enhanced Major Liberty, aka Karen Malone, should appeal to Captain America and Wonder Woman fans, in that she epitomizes both patriotic brawn and mythic charm...
And how 'bout that remarkable Rob Davis cover: a round-up of Vol 4's champions against a ninja onslaught!!! (Now, that would make one helluva story, particularly if Fortier, Broden and/or Davis furnished it.)
