\"'Awesome<\/a>Awesome Tales<\/em> #6<\/strong> (Fall 2017) is now out from Bold Venture Press<\/a> and Black Cat Media<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This issue’s theme is crime, and the cover feature this issue is the Domino Lady<\/strong>, the classic, sexy pulp heroine. Rich Harvey<\/strong> provides the first of a new series of Domino Lady stories, with her moving to New York and going up against a sinister blackmail ring. If you want to read the classic stories, Bold Venture Press has a collection of them, with a great cover by Jim Steranko<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

KT Pinto<\/strong> is back with another story of her supernatural detective Raphael Jones<\/strong>, “The Platinum Membership.” For previous stories, you’ll have to check Awesome Tales<\/em> #3 and 4. This time, Jones is in Nazi Germany and has to team up with the Gestapo to stop a threat.<\/p>\n

From the late C.J. Henderson<\/strong> we get “Caring,” one of his Jack Hagee<\/strong>, P.I., stories. Not sure were this previously appeared, but Bold Venture Press has other collections of his works, including more Jack Hagee.<\/p>\n

Patrick Thomas<\/strong> and John L. French<\/strong> (who created the Gray Monk<\/strong>) provide “Dance of Death,” which stars their character Jack Gardner<\/strong> and the ethical assassin, Rao<\/strong>. They have other works with these characters.<\/p>\n

“Doubt” by DJ Tyrer<\/strong> starts P.I. Milo Fisk<\/strong>. Here Fisk must solve the murder of a mobster and find a missing payoff. I’m not sure if Tyrer has written other stories with this character.<\/p>\n

A slightly different short tale is “Clear as Glass” by Jean Marie Ward<\/strong>. There’s no detective this time (sort of), but a Malibu housewife dealing with a cheating spouse.<\/p>\n

Another great issue. I know they want to go to four times a year, but have been doing about two a year. They have picked the theme for the next issue, so it’s just a matter of when it will come out in 2018. Clearly we should see another Domino Lady story. I can’t wait. If you haven’t picked up an issue, please do so.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
