  • November 3, 2012

Moonstone Books’ third anthology collection chronicling new tales of pulp hero, The Avenger is now available for pre-order on Amazon. Titled, THE AVENGER: ROARING HEART OF THE CRUCIBLE, the book is scheduled for release in April 2013 in both softcover trade paperback and limited edition hardcover.

The greatest crime-fighter of the 40’s returns in a third thrilling collection of original, action-packed tales of adventure, intrigue, and revenge. Life was bliss for millionaire adventurer Richard Henry Benson until that fateful day crime and greed took away his wife and young daughter… and turned him into something more than human. Driven by loss, compelled by grief, he becomes a chilled impersonal force of justice, more machine than man, dedicated to the destruction of evildoers everywhere. A figure of ice and steel, more pitiless than both, Benson has been forged into an avatar of vengeance, possessed of superhuman genius supernormal power. His frozen face and pale eyes, like a polar dawn, only hint at the terrible force the underworld heedlessly invoked upon itself the day they created… The Avenger!

Exclusive HC BONUS material: An Avenger timeline by Rick Lai, a story by John Small, plus solo tales of the Avenger’s aides by Howard Hopkins!

The Avenger: Roaring Heart of the Crucible will be in store April 2013 from Moonstone Books. You can order the softcover trade paperback and limited edition hardcover now.

“It’s a big year for us,” Tommy Hancock, Founder and Organizer of Pulp Ark stated.  “We’re moving, expanding, bringing in old friends and new favorites, so we want any and all news we have to go out as often as it can, to keep Pulp Ark in the forefront of everyone’s mind.  And this guest is definitely news.”

Crime fiction and New Pulp writer Gary Phillips has written short stories for Moonstone’s Kolchak: The Night Stalker Casebook, the Avenger Chronicles and the Green Hornet Casefiles.  His most current novel is Warlord of Willow Ridgewhich Booklist said of the work, “Phillips is a veteran crime novelist who creates a plausible postapocalyptic scenario in which the safety of middle-class America can dissolve in a moment.

FULL MOON: PHASES OF THE MOON HARDCOVER COMING!

  • August 15, 2012
Cover: Andy Black

Moonstone Books has announced that the FULL MOON: Phases of the Moon HC is about 4 weeks away from release and fans of great comics can preorder it from their retailers still…

FULL MOON: Phases of the Moon

Story: Steven L Frank, Paul D. Storrie, CJ Henderson, Earl Mac Rauch
Art: Nathan Stockman, Glen Fernandez
Cover: Andy Black
78pgs, PC, $29.99

The only occasion this crazy time-travelling serial killer saga will appear all together in color!

What started with The Spider, Domino Lady, Honey West, Kolchak and others…ends here!

*Plus the unseen final chapter starring SHEENA!
*Plus a recently uncovered BUCKAROO BANZAI part of this tale!
*Plus a never before seen epilogue starring KOLCHAK, as years later he uncovers the even more startling truth behind the lies!

Moonstone is about to send out an amazing collection of pulp stories and the publisher had this to say about it: “This is Moonstone’s big team up adventure, but with our own spin on that kind of concept.”

First, there are 6 individual comic book short stories, each spotlighting one character with some have characters acting in unison as well.

These 6 stories are broken down into 3 different time eras:

Era: the 1930’s: The Spider & Domino Lady
Era: the early 70’s: Honey West and Kolchak
Era: current day: Sheena

After these 6 stories, come 2 prose stories, one featuring Buckaroo Banzai (written by Banzai’s creator Mac Rauch) and Kolchak.

The Kolchak prose story is the official story ender, as the final truths are revealed.
“Years after the fact, more startling revelations are uncovered by Kolchak, with a wild twist ending!”

Written by Kolchak scribe CJ Henderson!

The overall plot is about a serial killer… and that story flows through the three time periods mentioned.

Finally the publisher concludes my stating “We wanted a big team up story… without the story being too cosmic, because these characters are not all-powerful superheroes, but ones that really put it all on the line… WITHOUT powers.”

The idea for the project and the plot was created by Steven L Frank.
