After too long, we get a fourth issue of Awesome Tales, a fanzine produced by Black Cat Media (R. Allen Leider) and packaged/published by Bold Venture Press.
The cover story of this issue is Leider’s Devil Doctor story, “The Manchurian Menace,” which has the doctor and his daughter after a Chinese scientist in WWII China. He has the secret of the atomic bomb, and is pursued by Nazis, Japanese, OSS, and MI-6.
Other stories in this volume include a new Pink Reaper story, a Domino Lady-like new pulp heroine by Patrick Thomas. I’ve only seen one other story with this character, so not certain where else she has appeared. Patrick has several other series, such as the Mystic Investigators.
KT Pinto provides another story, this time with private eye Raphael Jones, and Robert Water has a story about conquistadors in Central America.
Hopefully we will see another volume soon. This is a nice series and wish we would see issues more often. Am told that v5 will come out in February.
