THE BEST OF THE PULP HEROES. Best, at least, of the heroes who had their own pulps. This book appears fated to pry the bucks even from such parsimonious fingers as my own. As demonstrated by Norvell Page, you have to be slightly nuts to write a great Spider story. Should give you a leg up on those other guys, Bill!

Well, at least I can say this much: My story is about people who are slightly nuts. Or more than slightly.

Shannon Denton? Not Frank's offspring, is she?

Unknown said...

I can't answer that one, and Frank's on the road somewhere.

I can't wait for this to come out.

I'm interested in how they got John Jakes to do a story.

Well, for his sake, I hope Jakes is still recumbent upon enough green to do what he wants when he wants...

That could be it. He and are a lot alike in that regard, I guess.
