The ORIGINAL Spider returns
Moonstone Comics’ long-awaited prose anthology will be in the shops this coming week.
Based upon the historic (and oft-reprinted) pulp character The Spider, this anthology features brand new short stories by noted comics writers Steve Englehart, Ron Fortier, Joe Gentile, CJ Henderson, Elizabeth Massie, Christopher Mills, Will Murray, Ann Nocenti, Chuck Dixon, and Robert Weinberg, as well as a number of s-f and mystery writers – including John Jakes of North and South, Kent Family Chronicles fame.
All this appears under an introduction by ComicMix columnist and comics legend Dennis O’Neil.
I hate it when stupid people do stupid things in stories. In this case there is just TOO much stupidity to go around. How could someone let a complete novice (not just a novice rider, but someone who has NEVER seen a motorcycle before) ride a motorcycle on (and then off) a flying boat! I found this plot twist (even in a fantasy story that includes planes powered by multi-legged, junky weasels) unfathomable.I'll say one thing for Black Ice, it certainly doesn't waste any time in getting to the action.
