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.)
