EDITOR’S NOTE: Moonstone, a small indie publisher of periodic releases of interest to pop culture fans, has some new titles coming in November. Just a heads-up to interested readers: Don’t count on your local comic shop to automatically be stocking these items. If you want them, let them know so they can order them for you.
NY Times best-selling author James Reasoner brings us a new LONE RANGER tale: a beautiful archaeologist races a gang of killers to find a legendary relic that leads to a lost treasure.
Double Stoker Award winner Nancy Holder & Alan Philipson introduce JOHNNY FADE: a corrupt, dead Hollywood homicide detective stuck in the noir purgatory of Dead Town, crossing back over to Tinsel Town to solve cases for the living, and to find out how he can stay out of Hell.
Plus, the inspiration for Superman, Gladiator, appears in his first original tale (with Golden Amazon) by Phantom author Mike Bullock!
XAL-KOR was created by Richard “Grass” Green, a pioneer in those days of fandom not only for giving us the Human Cat, but being back then one of, if not the only initially, African American producing work for the fanzines. With his dynamic style clearly inspired by Jack “King” Kirby, Grass Green’s Xal-Kor was right out of a ‘70s Marvel Comics kind of superhero.
This one-shot is about delivering adventure, while reminiscent of fandom’s Golden Age, but with a modernistic undercurrent.
