| Depression-era
Chicago: a city riding a tide of liquor and blood, ruled by guns, graft,
and gangsters. At the top of the heap is Al Capone... and Capone's most
feared hitman is Michael O'Sullivan, known to friends and enemies alike
as the "Angel of Death". But when Sullivan's eight-year-old son witnesses
a gangland execution, father and son find themselves facing off against
the most merciless gangster of all time. |

TITANIC
TALES |
| by Mark Wheatley, Allan Gross, Gary Henry, Al Williamson,
Frank Cho, Marc Hempel, Mike Oeming, Steve Conley, & Damon Willis |
Paperback: 192 pages
Insight Studios
ISBN: 1889317039 |
$17.95
|
| Not since the
glory days of the pulps has there been a book like TITANIC TALES! Hard-hitting,
gut-wrenching, pants-wetting fiction is waiting for you in this throw-back
to those exciting days when men were men, women were women and pulps were
pulps! And TITANIC TALES couldn't have picked a better time to arrive.
Just when nearly all the life has been sucked out of entertainment, leaving
a grey, politically correct dullness, TITANIC TALES serves up a heaping
helping of the stuff that straightens the spine with horror, excitement,
and the inspiring actions of heroic men and women. TITANIC TALES isn't
afraid to call it as it sees it, shoot straight and throw an upper-cut
to the intellect. |

| The past year
has seen the release of such important pulp art retrospectives as Pulp
Culture and Infinite Worlds. At the same time, a circle of smaller publishers
have made it their mission to reprint pulp tales, reacquainting the reading
public with everything from Hugh B. Cave's weird fiction to the multi-volume
"Purple Invasion" epic from the obscure hero magazine, Operator #5. The
newest volume from the Insight Studios Group takes this nostalgia to a
new level, offering up a brand new pulp with fiction promised "to rot your
brain". Titanic Tales offers a wide range of stories, all of which ring
with the lurid cackling and overwrought gasps found in the original hero
and terror mags. The interior art is sharp, the layout and design attractively
retro. The book's centerpiece is a new Spider story, "Burning Lead for
the Walking Dead," which is not prose, but a nicely noir-ish illustrated
tale by Mark Wheatley. Regular readers of indie comics will also welcome
the stories featuring such established characters as the Reality Knight
and Doc Cyborg. The interview article with legendary artist Al Williamson
could have been longer, and the book as a whole should have been proofed
more carefully, but readers hungry for new pulp thrills will not be disappointed
with Titanic Tales.
