Joseph T. Shaw: The Man Behind Black Mask By Milton Shaw
Joseph T. “Cap” Shaw enjoyed several distinguishedcareers—military
man and champion fencer, among them—before he assumedthe editorial chair
of the most significant fiction magazine sinceThe Strand gave the world the
immortal Sherlock Holmes. Between 1926and 1936, Shaw edited Black Mask magazine.
The pioneering first storiesof Carroll John Daly and Dashiell Hammett had
just begun to appear inits pages. Shaw recognized in their hard-boiled treatment
of the Americancrime story the potential for a new literary school. Working
closelywith his hand-picked writers, he pulled the magazine back from the
brinkof cancellation, and transformed the staid detective story into a vigorousand
modern genre, discovering and championing important inheritors ofthis new
tradition,among them, Raymond Chandler.
But there is more to Joe Shaw than his editorial career. Here,in the first
biography ever written of this editorial giant, his sonrelates the full
fascinating story of the man behind the revolutionaryeditorial persona….

the prime suspect... and she was to be the recipient of the grim business
of the Haitian voodoo sect as well.

ever between two raking cross-fires… Seldom, however, had the Spider, Master
of men, faced the odds which challenged him when the man called Aronk Dong
summoned all the underworld to servehim inthe most ghastly campaign of rampant
crime and wholesale slaughterthiscountry had ever experienced. Armed with
a weapon which struck throughstone walls at victims sleeping peacefully in
their beds, it was smallwonder that criminals everywhere hailed the new leader—and
flocked in evilglee to his dark banner!

Joseph T. “Cap” Shaw enjoyed severaldistinguishedcareers—military
man and championfencer, among them—before he assumedthe editorial chair
of the most significant fiction magazine since TheStrand gave the world
the immortal Sherlock Holmes.
Between 1926 and 1936, Shaw edited Black Mask magazine. The pioneering
first stories of Carroll John Daly and Dashiell Hammetthad just begun to appear
in its pages. Shaw recognized in their hard-boiled treatment of the American
crime story the potential for a new literary school. Working closely with
his hand-picked writers, he pulled themagazine back from the brink of cancellation,

them, Raymond Chandler.
But there is more to Joe Shaw than his editorial career. Here, in the
first biography ever written of this editorial giant, his son relates the

Beb Books
Now available!
I started Beb Books around 2003, at the start of the pulp reprint
deluge. Where other reprinters were doing superhero titles and I wanted
to concentrate on some of the great fantasy and adventure fiction that lurked
there in old pulps. I’ve reprinted a lot of stories, never made much money
but never lost much either. Now that I’m retiredI have more time but less
interest in trying to make Beb Books a money-making operation. So I have
been converting my books into ePub and posting them on the internet. At first
I was going to give each title a separate download link but it’s a lot easier
to make a shared folder so by following onelink you can see everything I’ve
uploaded.
What I want to do is introduce some of the stories you will find there.
Let’s start with Perley Poore Sheehan.
Sheehan (1875 to 1943). Was a prolific writing from 1909 to 1933.
He also wrote a number of movie scripts during the silentera. During the
Teens and Twenties he wrote a variety of stories: Fantasy, Adventure, Romance,
Mystery and general Drama.
Sheehan_The Copper Princess-rev1.epub (1913,
Beb Books 2005)
This was his first novel, a short affair in which a
scientist discovers that a mummy of a Peruvian princessmighty actually being
alive in a state of suspended animation. Hisefforts to resurrectthis princess
brings many complications, forcinghim to go into hiding inthe “wilds” of the
Bronx(!). And makes him question the wisdom of what he’sdone,
Sheehan_Woman of the Pyramid-rev1.epub (1914.
Beb Books 2006)
A novel of past lives. A chance encounter with a ghost
near the Great Pyramids of Giza sends the mind of a man thousands of years
in the past when he was a high officer in the Egyptian army, pursued by
the Queen of the Double Kingdom while he tries to save the young servant
he’s in love with.
Sheehan_The Haunted Legacy-rev1.epub (as by Paul
Regard) (1914. Beb Books 2014)
Paul Regard was a personal pseudonym Sheehan would
use from time to time throughout his life. This novel concerns a man fated
to conclude an ancient curse from the old country in the new country of
America.
Shreehan_The Abyss of Wonders-rev1.epub (1915.
Beb Books 2004)
One of Sheehan’s best known works, three men travel
half way around the world to a city -- the first city--buried deep inthe Gobi
desert to find what is their joint destiny.
Sheehan-Abu, The Dawn-Maker.epub (1915. Beb Books 2011)
Destiny plays a role in this story as a slave leads
a revolt against colonial forces in East Africa. But the “Dawn-Maker”(messiah)
has taken a pledge to avoid drink and woman and Abu is in love.Will love
or power decide Abu’s destiny.
Sheehan_The Volunteer Nemesis-rev1.epub (1916.
Beb Books 2018)
A wealthy but purposeless young man wakes up one morning
to find that someone has assumed his name ad his fortune and dedicated them
to good works. As he struggles to regain his life he begins to wonder if
this usurper isn’t trying to do him a favor.
Sheehan_Egrets and others-rev1.epub (Beb Books
original, 2010)
This is a collection of three long novelettes about
the Everglades and the Seminole Indians who live there. The stories are “Egrets,”
“The Lone Seminole” and “The One Gift.” In Egrets a game warden protecting
the last remaining colony of Egrets, a bird hunted for theirwhite plumage,
meets and falls in love with a Seminole maiden. But triballaw forbids any
marriage with non-Seminole. Can their love survive the curse that two must
die? In “The Lone Seminole” a youth in Oklahoma wants tojoin the war against
Germany but the tribal elders are opposed. They sentto the Everglade to
have a vision quest. While wanting for his vision hestumbles against German
spies and sees this as the Great Spirits answerto his quest. “The One Gift”
is an overtly fantasy. Every Seminole is givenone favor from the Great Spirit.
A young Indian has fallen in love witha white woman who is being chased by
kidnappers. He tries to help her asmuch as he can but in the end uses his
One Gift” to let her return toherworld. Three great stories about the wonderful
world of the Everglades andthe spiritual Indians who live there.
All these stories and much more can be found by followingthis link::

DOUBLE-HEAD
by Gaston Danville
Adapted by Brian Stableford
cover by Grillon
Double-Head (1927) is a bold narrative about stock-market manipulation,
extrapolating the notion of technologically-aided telepathy while detailing
a quest to rediscover the alchemists’ fabled philosopher’s stone.
The novel is sufficiently innovative and intelligent to transcend its
deliberately popular format, has considerable imaginative substance, and
deserves to be reckoned a significant contribution to the genre.
It is an interesting addendum to the literary career of one of the
most intriguing dabblers in imaginative fiction to emerge during the turbulent
fin-de-siècle in France.

/ Murania Press
BLOOD 'N' THUNDER VOLUME 2 NUMBER 2
Now available!
The second issue of the revived Blood 'n' Thunder opens with a
special section devoted to Jimmie Dale, alias the Gray Seal, Frank L. Packard's
World War I-vintage protagonist whose adventures inStreet & Smith's
People's Magazine presaged the Depression-era hero-pulp phenomenon. Award-winning
writer, editor, documentarian, and pop-culture historian Don Hutchison makes
his first appearance in BnT with "Deathto the Gray Seal!", an overview of
the legendary character. Then editorEd Hulse offers "The Celluloid 'Seal',"
which recounts Jimmie Dale's brief but tumultuous history on film.
Novelist andpulp historian Will Murray is back with "The Spicy Mrs. Schwartz,"
another of his fascinating examples of literary detective work. This time
Will trains his attention on one of Spicy Detective's most unlikely contributors.
BnT presentsa long-forgotten short story by Richard Sale,prolific fictioneer
who eventually became a Hollywood hyphenate (writer-producer-director) but
is best known for his detective yarns in the Munsey pulps. Sale's 1935 "Mellow
Drama" is a clever send-up of rough-paper magazines ingeneral and hero pulps
in particular.
The making of Republic Pictures' episodic epic Spy Smasher (1942), based
on the popular Fawcett Publication comic book and still considered one of
the finest chapter plays ever, is fully documented in Ed Hulse's "Anatomy
of a Serial," which presents material gleaned from Republic studio files
and first-hand interviews with selected cast and crew members. This 8000-word
essay chronicles production from the 1941 licensing of screen rights to
the efforts of exhibitors to promote the serial while it was in release.
Nothing like it has ever been written by the form's historians.
That relentless researcher of all things Old Time Radio, Karl Schadow,
contributes "Avenger Addendum," a brief article that supplements last issue's
piece on the 1941 series that adapted Street & Smith's character The Avenger.
The latest BnT also includes reviews and reference material sure to be
of interest to pulp-fiction aficionados. And, asalways, the magazine is profusely
illustrated.

Walter Miller and Allene
Ray co-starred in ten classic “cliffhangers” produced and releasedduring
the late silent era by Pathé, one of the pioneering motion-picture
companies. They were an incredibly popular team whose chapter-playhits included
The Green Archer (a 1925 adaptation of Edgar Wallace’sclassic mystery novel)
and The House Without a Key (the 1926 serialthatintroduced Charlie Chan to
moviegoers). Together with chief directorSpencerBennet and favorite scenarist
Frank Leon Smith, Miller and Raytemporarilyrestored luster to a film form
that had become tarnished.
This monograph exhaustively covers the Miller-Ray phenomenon. Author Ed
Hulse has seen all surviving footage from their chapterplays, and his account
also relies on private correspondence fromFrank Leon Smith, several interviews
with Spencer Bennet, and carefulanalysis of surviving scripts from their
serials. The text is supplementedby dozens of rare photos, including rare
behind-the-scenes candids.

Larry Kent, P.I. — the longest-running
series detective — in two exciting hardboiled novels!
Cry Twice, Kitten!
Jacob Troy was an old man who had itall; a movie-star wife, a vast and
thriving business empire—even a castle he’d bought in Germany and had transplanted
brick-by-brick onto some of Hollywood’s primestreal estate. But he wanted
more. That’s why he had hired mobster DannyHester to put the squeeze on
nightclub owner Paul Huntsman.
Huntsman hired Larry Kent to find a connection between Troy and Hester
that would stand up in a court of law. If he could expose Troy, then he could
ruin him. Almost before Larry took the case, however, things moved fast.
A caseof kidnap, a sadistic beating, a neat littleframe-up and a grislymurder,
just for starters. What should have beena straightforward assignment soon
found Larry Kent fighting for hislife.
Honey-Blonde Blues
Larry Kent’s old buddy Jim Calloway was murdered over a woman … so they
said. But who was the woman? No one seemed to know—not even Jim’s killer.
Larry suspected the woman was just a diversion. Therewas another reason
for Jim’s death. And just maybe it had something todo with his job with
the Narcotics Bureau. Only thing was, Jim was a minorofficial at the Bureau,
no one with any clout, just a desk-jockey.
One thing for certain. There were people out there—important people—who
wanted to bury the case.And if they couldn’t kill Larry to stop him investigating,
thenjust maybe they could send him to Cuba in search of a missing man. After
all, he’d be easier to rub out in a foreign country …

titling and decorations debossed in gold and 1st edition dust jacket illustration

So far that includes 1st G&D printings of Back to the
Stone Age, Land of Terror, Savage Pellucidar and John Carter of Mars.

the book, manuscript portfolio and a die cut tray for the medallion and
pen.

Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc., is proud to launch thefirst four volumes
of the Edgar Rice Burroughs Authorized Library.This new series presents
for the first time the complete catalog of Mr.Burroughs’ literary works
in handsome uniform, hardcover editions, featuringdust jacket art by renowned
artist Joe Jusko, and rare and previously unpublishedsupplementary material.
“We have long dreamed of, and have frequently been asked by fans about,
reproducing authorized editions of all of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ 80-plus
novels,” says Jim Sullos, President of Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc. “This
has not been done since the 1970s, and as a testament to the enduring demand
of his works, we have embarked on an exciting journey. We have named it
the Edgar Rice Burroughs Authorized Library to distinguish these from any
other editions, and they will contain additional content that in most cases
has never been seen before. While it will take a few years dueto the sheer
number of books we need to reproduce, we are committed to seeingall of his
works in print again. We are delighted that eminent artist JoeJusko has agreed
to be our sole artist for cover art and frontispieces. Heis one of the most
popular illustrators of our time and we believe there isno one better suited
to bring to life the richness of Mr.Burroughs’ literary creations.”
Published by Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc., the company founded by Mr. Burroughs
in 1923, each volume of the Authorized Library is packed with extras and
raritiesnot to be found in any other edition. Featuring exclusives ranging
from artwork by the legendary Joe Jusko to forewords and afterwords by today’s
authorities and luminaries to a treasure trove ofrare and never-before-published
bonus materials mined from the company’s extensive archives in Tarzana, California,
the Edgar Rice BurroughsAuthorized Library will take readers on a journey
of wonder and imaginationthey will never forget.
“I have dreamed of this project eversince I first saw Neal Adams’ and
Boris Vallejo’s Tarzancover paintings back in high school,” says Joe Jusko.
“I amso honored that all these years later ERB, Inc., has made thatdream
a reality. I have never been more excited by or put more work into anything,
and if I’m to be remembered for anything I’ve done, I want it to be these
covers.”

New on Famous (and forgotten) Fiction!
December 2019
For your end of the year reading pleasure, we present to you "The Monster of Lake LaMetrie" by Wardon Allan Curtis,
as it originally appeared in the September, 1899 issue of Pearson's Magazine
(UK).
It's a fun story involving a dinosaur, possible hollow earth and the use
of a machete as a surgical tool (?). The illustrations by Stanley
L. Wood are included along with a brief introduction by Bob Gay.
November 2019
Presenting another author who has been too long neglected, we have
added The Julius Long Collection and it includes not only a biography
of Long's life, but also his first published story, The Dead Man's Story.
Although Long ended his pulp career as a writer of detective fiction,
his first works were all in the horror genre and hold up quite well today.
Hope you enjoy it.
September 2019
We are happy to present a previously unreprinted story by H. F.
Arnold, "The City of the Iron Cubes," as it apppearedin
the March and April, 1929 issues of Weird Tales, including the illustrations
by C. C. Senf.
Along with some additional biographical material about Arnold, there is
also an afterword following the story, where we discuss the end of the story,
and why webelieve the twist at the end may be the first appearance of an
ending that, today, has been done so many times, that it is considered the
worst of cliches.
July 2019
Baroness Orczy wrote many different types of stories during her
career and "Young Muggins" shows yet another facet to her talents,
as she weaves a tale of love, selfishness and self-sacrifice in rural England.
Our reprinting appears just as it didin the May, 1906 issue of The Royal
Magazine, including theillustrations by J. Barnard Davis. Introduction
to thestory is by Dan Neyer.
June 2019
This month we feature Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's mummy tale, Lot No. 249, including the illustrations by WilliamThomas
Smedley and an introduction by your humble scribes, Dan Neyer andBob Gay.
We've also done some behind the scenes work to make the site work better...do
stop by and check us out.
May 2019
Edmond Hamilton returns to ourpages with "The Man Who Evolved," direct from the pages of theApril,
1931 issue of Wonder Stories, including the Frank R. Paul illustration.
Intro by Bob Gay
Also, we found a 1953 comic book story where the plot was(*ahem*) "borrowed"
from Hamilton's original and our unknown scribemanaged to condense the story
down to a mere 4 pages.
Read the original first, then "Evolution" which appears as it originally appearedin
Tomb of Terror #12, with the digital restoration included at no extracost.
April 2019
We are very pleased to present The Neil R. Jones Collection, which starts with an 11,000+
word biography of Jones that incorporates his words, newspaper articles
and our research to create a long overdue portrait of the creator of Professor
Jameson. We have also located a nearly all of Jones' non-fiction writings
from various magazines and fanzines and have included them, along with 5,
never before reprinted, stories that chart his early years as an author.
Copiously illustrated throughout, we hope you enjoy it.

We're announcing some BIG
news on THE COMPLETE JOHN THE BALLADEER!
I hope your mind is truly blown with what's going down with this title.
Speaking of which, all of this goodness doesn't come cheap and effective
January 31, 2020 the preorder price is moving from $90 to $100 for the two-volume
set.
And, yes, the retail price will more than $100 on publication. So, the
early bird gets the worm, and the straggler gets the you-know-what.
Everyone who prepays for their copy of
our two-volume edition will receive the exclusive chapbook: NOT ALL A DREAM
by Manly Wade Wellman.
"Not All a Dream" is an all-new story originally commissioned for the
never-published The Last Dangerous Visions.
haffner Press is EXTREMELY pleased to announce the following:
Coming Spring 2020, the Haffner Press edition of THE COMPLETE JOHN THE
BALLADEER will feature the interior artwork of Tim Kirk:
I. The eleven illustrations from the Dell edition of WHO
FEARS THE DEVIL? with . . .
II. The eleven start-letter (aka drop caps) images re-drawn
for this edition.
III. Twelve NEW illustrations (one for each "John" story
or novel written since 1980) and . . .
IV. Twelve new drop caps (aka start-letters)for thesepost
1980 texts, and . . .
V. Oh yeah, the cover image for NOT ALL A DREAM, the whim
that sent me down this wonderful rabbit-hole!
John, whose last
name is never revealed, is a wandering singer who carries a guitarstrung
with strings of pure silver. He is a veteran of the Korean Warand served
in the U.S. Armyas a sharpshooter (in the novel After Dark,he mentions that
hishighest rank was PFC). In his travels, he frequently encounters creatures
and superstitions from the folk tales and superstitions of the mountain people.
Though John has no formal education, he is self-taught, highly intelligent
and widely read; it is implied that his knowledgeof occult and folk legendarium
is of Ph.D level. This knowledge has granted him competent use of white magic,
which he has used on occasion to overcome enemies or obstacles, but it is
primarily his courage, wit and essential goodness that always enables him
to triumph over supernatural evils (although the silver strings of his guitar
and his possession of a copy of TheLong Lost Friend are also powerful tools
in fighting evil magic), whilebasic Army training allows him to physically
deal with human foes.
The stories are rich in the customs and lore of the region and many of
the folk songs John sings are authentic as well. Wellman did introduce some
original songs and legends but his creations blend seamlessly with the traditional
material. Whereas Tolkien integrated Northernmythology into his mythos,
and C.S. Lewis the European Fairy Tales ofyore, Wellman’s stories are drenched
in the folktales and songs of oldAmericana; the haunting stories of the
slaves and the tall tales of theRevolution, strange beasts, witch-women,
and dark apparitions. As famedauthor Karl Edward Wagner wrote: “These stories
are chilling and enchanting,magical and down-to-earth, full of wonder and
humanity. They are fun.They are like nothing else you’ve read before.”—Adapted

Hard Case Crime
Coming soon!
February 2020
DOUBLE FEATURE
Donald E. Westlake
Cover art by Paul Mann
THE MOVIE STAR AND THEMOVIE CRITIC—
HOW FAR WOULD THEY GO
TO KEEP THEIR SECRETS BURIED?
In New York City, a movie critic has just murdered his girlfriend—well,
one of his girlfriends (not to be confused with his wife). Will the unlikely
crime-solving partnership he forms with the investigatingpolice detective
keep him from the film noir ending he deserves?
On the opposite coast, movie star Dawn Devayne—the hottest It Girl in
Hollywood—gets a visit from a Navy sailor who says he knew her when she
was just ordinary Estelle Anlic of San Diego. Now she’s a big star who’s
put her past behind her. But secrets have a way of not stayingburied...
These two short novels, one hilarious and one heartbreaking, are two of
the best works Westlake ever wrote.
And fittingly, both became movies—one starring Jack Ryan’s Marie-Josee
Croze, and one starring Fargo’s William H.Macy and Desperate Housewives’ Felicity
Huffman.
• First appearance in bookstores in40 years!
• Donald E. Westlake won every major award in the
mystery genre and gained fame both under his own name andwriting as "Richard
Stark"

Life, Fortune, and the Saturday Evening Post. The winner of 25 awardsfrom
the Society of Illustrators, he was also oneof the first,and certainly most
preeminent, fish painters. His underwaterimages were a regular feature in
National Geographic and other publications.This book features scores of

QUEEN OF THE PULPS
by Laurie Powers
Now available!
QUEEN
OF THE PULPS, the definitive biography of Daisy Bacon and the untold story
of LOVE STORY MAGAZINE!
Daisy Bacon, the opinionated,
autocratic and complex editorof Love Story Magazine from 1928 to 1947, chose
the stories that would be read by hundreds ofthousands of readers each week.
The first weekly periodical devoted to romance fiction and the biggest-selling
pulp in the early days of the Great Depression,Love Story sparked a wave
of imitators that dominated newsstands formore than twenty years.
Disparaged as "love pulp," the magazine actually championed the
"modern girl," bringing its heroines outof the shadows of Victorian poverty
and into the 20th century. With Love Story'ssuccess, Bacon became a national
spokesperson, declaring that the modern woman could haveit all-in love, in
marriage and in the business world.
Yet Bacon herself struggled to achieve that ideal,especially in
her own romantic life, built around a long-term affairwith a married man.
Drawing on exclusive access to her personal papers,this first-ever biography
tells story behind the woman who influencedmillions of others to pursue independence
in their careers and in theirrelationships.

Forged in war, The Phantom Detective wages a one-man battle on
crime! Solving impossible mysteriesand delivering his ownjustice, he is
the underworld’s masked nightmare!
Murder stalks in the wake of a famous aviator’s disappearance in this
smashing mystery in which the Phantom Detective trails a human monster to
his grisly lair of terror and torture. Many people thinkof crime as something
far removed yet one out of every twenty Americans, approximately, is inoculated
with the dread virus of lawlessness! Donning a mask and using his agilemind
and body, The Phantom Detective actsas a one-man cure for this disease!
|
|
Even though he was indeed a one-man army against crime, The PhantomDetective
did not live in the world alone, nor could he completely carryon his crusade
by himself. From ‘The Emperor of Death’, the Phantom’s firststory, the crimefighter’s
identity was known to one man. A friend of hisfather’s and a man influential
in Richard Curtis Van Loan’s raising, FrankHavens was not only the powerful
publisher of The Clarion, thecity’s newspaper.He was also the man who not
only knew the PhantomDetective’s identity,but he had also been the man who
suggested VanLoan take on a case to solvethat had the police baffled. Havens’
suggestionnot only led his young charge to solve the case, but also to become
The Phantom Detective! The connection with Havens would also provideThe
Phantom Detective with a love interest and, in some stories, somewhatof
a partner. Muriel Havens was not only Frank’s daughter, but also provedto
be The Phantom Detective’s love interest and, in many instances, anear equal
of his more than a damsel in distress. Another character thatHavens provides
the connection for is tough guy and sometimes hardboiledClarion reporter
Steve Huston.
‘The Tomb of Death’ was originally published in the November 1934 issue
of The Phantom Detective Magazine and is read with pulse pounding intensity
by award winning voice actor Milton Bagby.

G-8 and His Battle Aces #23 Audiobook
The Headless Staffel
by Robert J. Hogan
Read by Nick Santa Maria
Now available!
They called G-8 the Flying Spy. History never recorded his exploits—and
for good reason! No one would ever believe World War I was that wild!
“Make peace at once — or I will destroy your armies. The Wizard.” H.Q.
was mildly puzzled at this strange message. But G-8 had already seen the Wizard’s
black ship, had seen men die like flies beneath itswings. The observer of
that black plane had shoulders and arms — but nohead. There was nothing but
a neck that oozed blood. And on the necka falcon perched! For an hour the
Yank spy had hunted this black ship.And now that he had sightedit he knew
that his assignment to “Find theWizard — wipe him out!” was oneof the most
daring jobs he and his aceshad ever tried to carry out in deathskies!
|
|
Each one of Robert J.
Hogan’s 110 G-8 stories is set squarelyin World War One,but it wasn’t the
war that Hogan’s readers remembered orhad heardabout. The horrors of combat
that G-8 faced were much more monstrousthan bullets and mustard gas, outlandishly
so, and the enemies theywould face only grew stranger and more deadly with
each new adventure.
Zombies took to the skies in later G-8 adventures. Jellyfish like creatures
with long, deadly tentacles terrorized the wartime pilots. Even Martians
and werewolves and other creatures got into the act. And some of G-8’smost
notable foes came back for more than one chance atthe Aces, but nonewere
as memorable as G-8’s first foe, the insidiousHerr Doktor Krueger.Krueger
attempted multiple times to win the war forthe Kaiser and ridhimself of America’s
Master Spy. He succeeded at neither.
Nick Santa Maria brings G-8, Nippy and Bull to thrilling life in their
desperate struggle to defeat a deadly nemesis unlike anything they have ever
before encountered in ‘The Headless Staffel’. Originally publishedin the August
1935 issue of G-8 and His Battle Aces magazine.
Nick DeGregorio composed the music for the G-8 and His Battle Acesseries

The first three jackets are all reconstructed using scans of the
original paintings for those covers.
THE WAR CHIEF alternate is based on art by noted western artist Maynard
Dixon and you can read more about it here.
Please take a moment to read the four-page article about the publishing of THEWARCHIEF
and why it meant so much to Ed Burroughs. I think you’ll be interestedto
find out that the book was one of the most well-researched novels he ever
wrote (besides I AM A BARBARIAN), and, considering its point of view and
many of the statements about white settlers, the US Army and thereasons for
the Apache’s explicit savagery, certainly his most controversial.
