Age of Aces - Coming soon!

Coming soon from Age of Aces Books
"Satan's Playmates: The Adventures of Molloy and McNamara"

Mike Molloy and Tommy McNamara were the "Twin Terrors of the Western Front".
They flew as if they had been born in Spads, they drank like thirsty whales, and they'd fought by each other's side through every mile of air along the lines and in every bar from the Front to Paris. If there were no more pressing targets, they pounded each other to a pulp, for any reason at all, and were strangely happy.

Leading the 24th Pursuit Squadron across WWI Europe's blood red skies, Molloy and McNamara were the bane of the German Air Force. Their names and reputations were known wherever fighting men met with blazing guns or flying fists. Written by William Hartley, the twenty tales of Molloy and McNamara appeared in Dare-Devil Aces between 1936 and 1942. Age of Aces has collected the first eleven of them for this volume.

New this week:
"Destroyer" by Steve Fisher, a full length novel from 1941
Here is the starkly realistic story of an obsolete American submarine in war time—trapped by the thundering herd of depth-charging destroyers overhead. . . . The poignant, profoundly emotional account of men inside the firing pits of a battleship’s 14-inch turret guns—fighting the last desperate fight for Democracy.
It is the love story of a young naval officer, a girl correspondent, and an embittered novelist who has been to all the wars. The story is unfolded during what may be the most important hour in American history.
The United States has declared war on Germany, Italy, and Japan. The invading navies of these countries prepare for an advance on the Panama Canal. A terrific naval battle takes place. The result hangs in balance. And the suspense in this story is tremendous as the action shifts from the high seas where the U.S. Fleet is battling the enemy might—to intrigue-ridden Cristobal, where foreign agents strive to undermine the power of the U.S. in the Canal Zone, and where the unusual love story of the three principal characters reaches a surprise climax.

Written by Timothy Truman, penciled by Tomas Giorello, colored by Jose
Villarrubia, covers by Justin Sweet and Joseph Michael Linsner.

"Kozaki," part 1 of 3. Giorello returns to full penciling duties and Truman scripts this first episode in a new, three-issue story arc entitled "Kozaki"! After burning a few bridges and making some questionable choices, mainly fueled by jealousy over Prince Julion's recent appearance in Khoraja and a hatred for pampered royalty and their courtly life, Conan leaves Yasmela and her palace behind. Now leading Amalric's mercenary army, Conan is again responsible for the lives of others. But is he skilled and experienced enough to do the job right? In this issue, we'll also discover more bleak premonitions and clues concerning Conan's near future, when Conan and his companions leave organized mercenary life behind in order to survive as a group of raiders and looters. Such actions will undoubtedly draw the attentions of others, though, and the troubles that began for Conan in the previous "Free Companions" arc are far from over!

Hell Is An Awfully Big City: Spine-Tingling Tales of Horror and Suspense - Now available!
The nine stories in this collection were created with the idea that every writer of Horror, which I consider to be my preferred genre, should create his take on the classic horror themes; the Vampire, the Werewolf, the invading Alien, the Monster. There will always be a place for these iconic horror themes in books, movies, and television shows. These stories have helped me become a more confident writer, primarily by allowing me to accept the fact I'm not a prolific writer; but a man who writes in spurts of creativity (Seven of the collection's stories here were written in two burst of eight and eleven days, respectively) and each tale began with nothing more than a generic idea in a note pad. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them, and I hope, like the first sentence is only designed to force you to read the second sentence; the stories in this collection will force you to read those I create in the future.

Subsequent adventures pit his vaunted intellect against murderers, cannibals and Australian bushwackers in faithful productions of The Sign of the Four, The Blue Carbuncle, A Study in Scarlet and The Boscombe Valley Mystery.

Travelers beware! The roads of Germany's Black Forest are haunted by all manner of wolf, bandit, and demon! After a harrowing battle with the disgusting and deadly Black Rider creatures, even confident, stalwart combatants like Solomon Kane and the mysterious L'Armon know enough to seek safety during the sinister hours of the night. The shelter they've stumbled upon looks foreboding, but its heavy doors will keep those that lurk in the forest at bay. However, will the wickedness within this strange tavern prove to be deadlier than the evil beasts roaming outside? Solomon Kane and L'Armon will soon find out. They're staying at the ominously named Cleft Skull -- a place, it is said, that few come to visit twice! Scott Allie (Star Wars: Empire, Exurbia) adapts Robert E. Howard's classic "Rattle of Bones" tale, as Mario Guevara (The Lone Ranger and Tonto) and Juan Ferreyra (Rex Mundi, Small Gods) join him in another excursion into horror, suspense, and adventure.

Age of Aces - Coming in November!

Coming in November From Age of Aces Books
"Satan's Playmates: The Adventures of Molloy and McNamara"

Mike Molloy and Tommy McNamara were the "Twin Terrors of the Western Front".
They flew as if they had been born in Spads, they drank like thirsty whales, and they'd fought by each other's side through every mile of air along the lines and in every bar from the Front to Paris. If there were no more pressing targets, they pounded each other to a pulp, for any reason at all, and were strangely happy.

Leading the 24th Pursuit Squadron across WWI Europe's blood red skies, Molloy and McNamara were the bane of the German Air Force. Their names and reputations were known wherever fighting men met with blazing guns or flying fists. Written by William Hartley, the twenty tales of Molloy and McNamara appeared in Dare-Devil Aces between 1936 and 1942. Age of Aces has collected the first eleven of them for this volume.

New this week: "Rip-Cord Ruse” by Arch Whitehouse from the May 1940 FLYING ACES featuring "The Griffon"
The Griffon is in the air to solve another high flying mystery. When is a good dollar counterfeit? That was only one of the baffling riddles that faced Kerry Keen after he attended that fashionable night club—by request. Sure, bad money is queer, but some things are a lot queerer—getting offered half a million bucks just for putting on a 200-mile air express act, for instance. Certainly, that was one for the book. And as for the silk-hatted man of mystery who had invaded Graylands—well, that was already in the book!

THE SPACE ANNIHILATOR edited by Gene Christie

The Space Annihilator: Early Science Fiction from The Argosy, 1896-1910, collects 16 tales from the first of the many “pulp” magazines that dominated America’s literary landscape in the first half of the twentieth century. Most of the authors are unknown and most of these stories have never been reprinted.

“It’s the force and originality of the ideas that makes these stories important and historic,” comments pulp historian Gene Christie, who edited the collection and contributed an introduction. “More than a hundred years ago, our great-grandparents were actually reading about what we know today as laser beams, the Star Trek ‘transporter,’ cellular telephones and man-made earth satellites. It’s really hidden history, and these mostly obscure authors deserve to be known and credited for their daring and prophetic concepts.”
One of the highlights of The Space Annihilator is the first published story by Gertrude Barrows, whose later work under the pseudonym Francis Stevens was praised by H.P. Lovecraft, A. Merritt and other masters of fantasy. As “Stevens,” Barrows is credited with originating both the alternate universe story and the “dark fantasy” tale.  Other writers include Frank Lillie Pollock, Bertram Lebhar and Howard R. Garis, who created the “Uncle Wiggley” character that entertained generations of small children.

THE BEST FROM ADVENTURE, Volume 1—The Pre-Hoffman Years
Edited and with an introduction by Doug Ellis
Adventure Magazine first appeared in late 1910 and soon, attracting top name authors, became renowned for the type of fiction its name implied. It grew into a powerhouse in the genre fiction field, and was later dubbed by Time magazine, the “No. 1 Pulp.” But in its early years, the magazine printed a surprisingly wide variety of fiction types, from westerns to light-hearted comedy, from South Seas tales to adventures set in the deepest jungles—to even works that could be deemed science fiction.

Culled from its first 15 issues, this collection brings together 20 of the best tales that appeared therein, including rarely or never-before reprinted works by Talbot Mundy, Damon Runyon, Rafael Sabatini, William Hope Hodgson, R. Austin Freeman, James Francis Dwyer, Frank L. Packard and others.

Clive Cussler: THE WRECKER - Available in bookstores November 17th!
By Clive Cussler and Justin Scott
It is 1907, a year of financial panic and labor unrest. Train wrecks, fires, and explosions sabotage the Southern Pacific Railroad's Cascades express line and, desperate, the railroad hires the fabled Van Dorn Detective Agency. Van Dorn sends in his best man, and Bell quickly discovers that a mysterious saboteur haunts the hobo jungles of the West, a man known as the Wrecker, who recruits accomplices from the down-and-out to attack the railroad, and then kills them afterward. The Wrecker traverses the vast spaces of the American West as if he had wings, striking wherever he pleases, causing untold damage and loss of human life. Who is he? What does he want? Is he a striker? An anarchist? A revolutionary determined to displace the "privileged few"? A criminal mastermind engineering some as yet unexplained scheme?

Whoever he is, whatever his motives, the Wrecker knows how to create maximum havoc, and Bell senses that he is far from done-that, in fact, the Wrecker is building up to a grand act unlike anything he has committed before. If Bell doesn't stop him in time, more than a railroad could be at risk-it could be the future of the entire country.

CONAN THE CIMMERIAN #16 - Arriving in comic shops November 18th!
Written by Timothy Truman, penciled by Tomas Giorello, colored by Jose Villarrubia, cover by Joseph Michael Linsner.

"Free Companions," part 1 of 3. A new story arc begins, leading to Conan's tumultuous time fighting and looting with the kozaki -- a wild group of fellow mercenaries also known as the "Free Companions." Conan and his fellow warriors, regrouping and recovering from their battle with the wizard Natohk and his desert hordes, find themselves on the verge of having to serve in another war! Timothy Truman begins an original tale that will explore events alluded to in Robert E. Howard's Conan tales, and he will also share artistic duties with Argentine sensation Tomás Giorello to illustrate a time in Conan's life when he tries to keep his barbarous nature and hot temper in check in order to prove that he can be a leader of men.

CONAN THE CIMMERIAN #19 - Coming in February! 
Written by Timothy Truman, penciled by Tomas Giorello, colored by Jose
Villarrubia, covers by Justin Sweet and Joseph Michael Linsner.

"Kozaki," part 1 of 3. Giorello returns to full penciling duties and Truman scripts this first episode in a new, three-issue story arc entitled "Kozaki"! After burning a few bridges and making some questionable choices, mainly fueled by jealousy over Prince Julion's recent appearance in Khoraja and a hatred for pampered royalty and their courtly life, Conan leaves Yasmela and her palace behind. Now leading Amalric's mercenary army, Conan is again responsible for the lives of others. But is he skilled and experienced enough to do the job right? In this issue, we'll also discover more bleak premonitions and clues concerning Conan's near future, when Conan and his companions leave organized mercenary life behind in order to survive as a group of raiders and looters. Such actions will undoubtedly draw the attentions of others, though, and the troubles that began for Conan in the previous "Free Companions" arc are far from over!

Secret Agent X - New Yahoo Newsgroup!
Secret Agent X originated in the pulp magazines in February 1934 and ran for five years, ending in March 1939 after 41 adventures. Published by A.A. Wyn’s Ace publishing house, the series was created by Paul Chadwick, then turned over to a variety of pulp writers, eventually ending with pulp scribe, George Thomas Fleming-Roberts. “X” fought everything from  espionage agents to domestic crime lords. Touted as The Man of A Thousand Faces, he was constantly in disguise, and his true identity was never disclosed. His real face was only seen a couple of times.  In the mid 1990s fan fiction stories began appearing by new writers, and continue to this day. This Site was created for those fans of the character, and discussion should be centered on both the series and the character, but may certainly cover other areas of the pulps, as well as new fiction.

SOLOMON KANE: DEATH'S BLACK RIDERS #2 - Coming in February! 
Scott Allie (Writer), Mario Guevara (Art), Juan Ferreyra (Colors), and Darick Robertson (Cover)

Travelers beware! The roads of Germany's Black Forest are haunted by all manner of wolf, bandit, and demon! After a harrowing battle with the disgusting and deadly Black Rider creatures, even confident, stalwart combatants like Solomon Kane and the mysterious L'Armon know enough to seek safety during the sinister hours of the night. The shelter they've stumbled upon looks foreboding, but its heavy doors will keep those that lurk in the forest at bay. However, will the wickedness within this strange tavern prove to be deadlier than the evil beasts roaming outside? Solomon Kane and L'Armon will soon find out. They're staying at the ominously named Cleft Skull -- a place, it is said, that few come to visit twice! Scott Allie (Star Wars: Empire, Exurbia) adapts Robert E. Howard's classic "Rattle of Bones" tale, as Mario Guevara (The Lone Ranger and Tonto) and Juan Ferreyra (Rex Mundi, Small Gods) join him in another excursion into horror, suspense, and adventure.

Age of Aces - Coming in November!

Coming in November From Age of Aces Books
"Satan's Playmates: The Adventures of Molloy and McNamara"

Mike Molloy and Tommy McNamara were the "Twin Terrors of the Western Front".
They flew as if they had been born in Spads, they drank like thirsty whales, and they'd fought by each other's side through every mile of air along the lines and in every bar from the Front to Paris. If there were no more pressing targets, they pounded each other to a pulp, for any reason at all, and were strangely happy.

Leading the 24th Pursuit Squadron across WWI Europe's blood red skies, Molloy and McNamara were the bane of the German Air Force. Their names and reputations were known wherever fighting men met with blazing guns or flying fists. Written by William Hartley, the twenty tales of Molloy and McNamara appeared in Dare-Devil Aces between 1936 and 1942. Age of Aces has collected the first eleven of them for this volume.

BATMAN/DOC SAVAGE SPECIAL #1 - Arriving in comic shops November 11th!
Written by Brian Azzarello; Art by Phil Noto; Cover by JG Jones
Sketchbook material and variant cover by Rags Morales
Doc Savage returns to DC Comics...and comes face-to-fist with the Batman! Superstar scribe Brian Azzarello (100 BULLETS, JOKER) and the breathtaking art of Phil Noto combine to shine the first light on a shadowy new version of the DC Universe, where the thugs run rampant, corruption runs deep, and even heroes can’t be trusted! Doc Savage, the Man of Bronze, hates what he’s heard about the connections between a grisly murder and Gotham City’s violent new vigilante. But the Batman can’t abide do-gooders getting in his way...and his .45 just won’t stay in its holster!

Be here for this vital prologue to an upcoming 6-issue miniseries by Azzarello and Rags Morales (IDENTITY CRISIS), which will pull back the curtain to reveal the full width and breadth of DC’s new pulp-influenced universe. This special issue also features sketchbook material by Rags Morales that will show you just what you’re in for! You might think you’re ready – but you’re very, very wrong...

Episode 47: Bruce Wayne is Detective #27 - New!
If you are a Pulp fan you will love this Elsewhere story. Even though the book is called Batman Detective 27, Batman isn't in the book. Instead we have Bruce Wayne as Detective #27. Set in 1939, it combines both what I like in the Golden Age comics and Pulps.
