Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nothing seemed to stop the little monsters. I shot a second time, wounding or killing another, and then dropped the gun to the ground. I pulled a slender blade from under my belt and whipped it at the little men. Another couple of strikes against my legs brought me level with the filthy floor of the alley, my fine clothes being soiled by the trash of the Big City -- and although I sliced and diced deeply into the bodies of several of my attackers, I knew that I was doomed to lose this particular battle in the end. There were just too many of them: they would either kill or severely injure me. Is this how The Phantom meets his end?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Phantom Detective pulp lasted for 170 issues from February, 1933 through Fall, 1953. Richard Curtis Van Loan -- The Phantom Detective. The greatest sleuth of all time! A worthy successor to Auguste Dupin, Sherlock Holmes, Arsene Lupin and Philo Vance. Here you will read the exciting, sensational story of his single handed war against rampant banditry in America. His courageous "Lone Wolf" campaign to rid the nation of organized crime and big time racketeers. His identity known to only one person -- this masked enemy of crime is a product of the cataclysmic World War. Born to purple, wealthy beyond all avarice, the war made him realize the futility of his pampered life. Daily face to face with death on the flaming Eastern Front, peace time activities seemed too tame for him after his career as a "war bird" was over. Others, seeking re-adjustment, vainly took to other careers -- many to crime. Dick Van Loan consecrated himself to fighting the pernicious forces that sought to hold America in their grip. Equiped with a knowledge of criminology second to none on earth, a master of make-up, the actor's art, mimicry, ventriloquism and hypnotism -- he embarked on his perilous career. Sacrificing those things that the ordinary man may have for the asking -- the simple pleasures of home and hearth -- he prepared to gamble desperately against gangdom's-strangle hold on America. Yet -- great though his sacrifice -- he would have chosen no other path. For the Phantom was born from the ashes of romance. And now, the record of this intrepid ace of detectives, so full of thrills, mystery, and world shaking events, will come to you month by month in THE PHANTOM DETECTIVE -- the biggest magazine value on the newsstands today! This collection contains stories from: Thrilling Comics 53, 62, 65, 70 America's Best Comics 26

"The lonely shack stood in the chill night gloom, its windows faint squares of light. Thin mist, driven by a wind which shook the dark branches of surrounding heavy trees, swirled coldly about the small, solitary building. Within it, under the glare of a single naked ceiling bulb, two men stood with their backs to the bolted oak door. They were watching a third man who crouched across the room before the gleaming dials of a small but full equipped short-wave radio apparatus."

Book Synopsis The Phantom Unmasked by : Kevin Patrick
Download or read book The Phantom Unmasked written by Kevin Patrick and published by University of Iowa Press. This book was released on 2017-11-15 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before Superman, before Batman, there was—the Phantom! Making its debut as an American newspaper comic strip in 1936, The Phantom was the forerunner of the comic-book superhero genre that today animates vast billion-dollar franchises spanning print, film, television, video games, and licensed merchandise. But you’ve probably never heard of it—you probably think Superman inaugurated the genre. That’s because, despite its American origins, The Phantom comic strip has enjoyed far greater popularity with international audiences, most notably in Australia, Sweden, and India, where it has appeared in newspapers, magazines, and comic books. The paradox of the character’s relative obscurity in the United States, offset by his phenomenal success in these three markedly different countries, is the subject of The Phantom Unmasked. By tracing the publication history of The Phantom in magazines and comic books across international markets since the mid-1930s, author Kevin Patrick delves into the largely unexplored prehistory of modern media licensing industries. He also explores the interconnections between the cultural, political, economic, and historical factors that fueled the character’s international popularity. The Phantom Unmasked offers readers a nuanced study of the complex cultural flow of American comic books around the world. Equally important, to provide a rare glimpse of international comics fandom, Patrick surveyed the Phantom’s “phans”—as they call themselves—and lets them explain how and why they came to love the world’s first masked superhero.
Download or read book God Says No written by James Hannaham and published by McSweeney's. This book was released on 2009 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gary Gray marries his first girlfriend, a fellow student from Central Florida Christian College who loves Disney World as much as he does. They are 19 years old, God-fearing, and eager to start a family, but a week before their wedding Gary goes into a rest-stop bathroom and lets something happen. God Says No is his testimony -- the story of a young black Christian struggling with desire and belief, with his love for his wife and his appetite for other men, told in a singular, emotional voice. Driven by desperation and religious visions, the path that Gary Gray takes -- from revival meetings to "out" life in Atlanta to a pray-away-the-gay ministry in Memphis, Tennessee -- gives a riveting picture of how a life like his can be lived, and how it can't.
