The Phantom Chronicles: New Tales Of The Ghost Who Walks!

5 reviews
Craig Shaw Gardner, Jim Alexander, ...

Moonstone, 2007

Lee Falk would be proud.
These stories are bringing The Phantom back to life and doing it very well. There is one story I found to be a long stretch, but I'm not reviewing stories, but a volume of stories. In this volume the Deep Woods call, The Ghost Who Walks remains undying, justice prevails over the darkness of the world, and even when The Phantom seems helpless, he is just about ready to make his next move. A must ...

Doc Savage: "Resurrection Day" and "Repel"

7 reviews
Kenneth Robeson

Nostalgia Ventures, 2006

Two of the Best
These new Doc Savage and Shadow volumes get better and better with each issue. Not only are the two novels amongst the best in the series but cover reproduction of the original pulps is excellent and the bonus articles and material are worth the price alone. Highly recommend these to those who are long time Doc fans and those who have never had the pleasure of following the Man of Bronze on his ...

Lingo And Partners of Peril: Two Classic Adventures Of The Shadow

The original Knight of Darkness
This book reprints the original story that was used in the creation of Batman by Bill Finger and Bob Kane. Lingo is a great story were each mob boss gets stymied by the Shadow until the mob turns on him and removes him (permanently) and sets up a new boss. Eventually, a boss named Lingo takes over. This is where the story gets good. The second story in the book is the original story Bill ...

The Spook Legion And The Submarine Mystery (Doc Savage)

The Spook Legion and The Submarine Mystery
The Spook Legion is one of the best stories reprinted from the 181 original pulp series. This captures the 1930's. Monk and Ham almost steals the lead from Doc Savage in this story. The Submarine Mystery is also a fine follow up story. If you like the Doc Savage pulp series then this is a must have reprint.

Doc Savage: Fortress of Solitude" and "The Devil Genghis"" (Doc Savage (Nostalgia Ventures))

Nostalgia Ventures, 2006

An Awesome Return of The Man of Bronze!
Doc Savage was the first superhero. He was the inspiration for Superman, Batman and many other of the heroes everyone knows today. An interesting thing to note is Doc Savage's first name is Clark, and Kenneth Robeson's Real last name was Dent. Put them together and you get Clark Dent. HMM. . . Where have I heard that name before? If you enjoy Science fiction, action, adventure, or just a good ...

Doc Savage: The Polar Treasure and Pirate of the Pacific

Nostalgia Ventures, 2007

Classic Tales from an Earlier Age
Too a large degree, the Doc Savage stories are an acquired taste. I was introduced during my tour in Iraq, when some blessed soul had sent, in a care package of books, several Doc Savage novels to my FOB. I recognized the name from my interest in pulps, and snagged them to read. They're most assuredly something from an earlier age--jazz era racism and cultural attitudes jar with modern ...

Boy-Wives and Female Husbands: Studies of African Homosexualities

Palgrave Macmillan, 2001

An Eye Opening Book
Here is a book with oral histories and folklore tales from ethnographers that went to Africa. The book is an eyeopening one into the sexuality aspect of Africans often challenging theories of sexuality. It is an excellent book to answer to the question of How & Why Does Same Sex Sexual Behavior Varies Cross Culturally? It was writing an essay on this topic that got me to this book, I have ...

Doc Savage 9: The Majii / the Golden Man (Doc Savage (Nostalgia Ventures))

2 reviews
Kenneth Robeson

Nostalgia Ventures, 2007

One of Doc's best
The Majii is one of the all time best Doc Savage adventures and a great jump on point for new readers. Though the pulp cover pales in comparison to the magnificent Bama paperback version the added historical articles make up for it and the restoration is top notch from Mike Piper. The second offering, The Golden Man, contains extra material deleted from the original pulp and paperback versions. ...

Nick Fury, Agent of Shield: Empyre (Nick Fury, Agent of Shield)

Berkley, 2000

a lot of fun, if you're Fury's type of reader
For those who don't know, Nick Fury was a comic book character known to many of us thirtysomethings as Sgt. Fury of the Howling Commandos, a forward-looking comic book series if ever there was one. (It presented issues of diversity years before the Civil Rights Amendment, for example.) While you don't have to have been a Sgt. Fury aficionado to like this book, it sure doesn't hurt. As long ...

Murray (pen name used by William Fitzgerald Jenkins - Will F. Jenkins) Leinster

Corgi Books, 1976

Not Free SF Reader
An excellent collection. The introduction by John J. Pierce points out that Leinster (a pseudonym, real name William F. Jenkins) is known as the Dean Of Science Fiction. Having started in 1919 or so, and then winning an award 40 years later, is an impressive effort - so is a collection from so early that averages 3.62, with a variety of themes and styles. This is without Exploration ...

Islamic Homosexualities: Culture, History, and Literature

8 reviews
Will Roscoe, Stephen Murray

NYU Press, 1997

A Masterpiece, You Will Love This Book
From the cover to the last page, *Islamic Homosexualities* is packed with information that is really useful to the queer Muslim of today. From "Slave Elites" of the Ottoman Empire to the "Gender-Defined" roles of African Homos, from the "Male Actresses" to the "Pakistani Male Prostitues," the book is truly packed with shocking yet factual information. There is little information about lesbians ...

Nostlagia Ventures, 2007

Master of adventure back in print!
Okay, the first thing I want to know is why a picture of an old time radio collection of detective shows is used to advertise this product? This is not an audio product. This is a book, one of Nostalgia Ventures series reprinting the legendary original Doc Savage novels of the 1930's. A warning is in order for the first story in this collection, "The Land of Always-Night". This novel is not ...

The Adventurers
Tom Roberts

Black Dog Books, 2008

In the years between the Great Depression and World War II, the all-fiction pulp magazines were flourishing on newsstands across the United States. Within their pages had been born many of the icons of popular culture that shaped the entertainment pleasures for generations to come, with names like as Tarzan, Zorro, and The Shadow. One of the most prominent and popular was Doc Savage, the Man of Bronze, a physical superman with the mind of a ...

Doc Savage 10: Dust of Death / The Stone Man (Doc Savage (Nostalgia Ventures))

2 reviews
Kenneth Robeson, Will Murray

Nostalgia Ventures, 2007

Another great volume
Dust of Death was never on my list of favorite Doc Savage novels for a number of reasons, mostly because of the villain revelation and remnants of ghost writer Harold A. Davis' plotting. But this version, with nearly 5000 words of Lester Dent text restored after an overzealous editor hacked it out of the original pulp version, goes a long ways towards making this a much better Doc adventure. The ...
