Comics Prose

Comics writers have fertile imaginations and great story-telling skill. Here they step out from behind the artists to show off their prose writing abilities. Included in this volume are: “Louise,” a tale from Max Allan Collins about his comic book detective, Ms. Tree, “Toto, I Have a Feeling We’re Not in Kansas Anymore,” a humorous science fiction tale about some odd mayhem taking place at an amusement park that hadn’t been there the day before, “The Black ’59,” a rock’n’roll horror story about a guitar that holds the soul of a musician, a crime story by Kurt Busiek, “Life in Fur,” which is about as sensitive, caring, and sweet as a werewolf story should be, and five more.
