Cover/Jacket Text:
Thorpe slammed on the brakes of the car and the black
sedan slid tip to the curb of the Erlinmyer Building. He was scrambling out
of the car as Decker
pulled his gun. They had barely stepped onto the sidewalk, when a distant
scream drew their gaze upward.
"
Decker, you get to a phone and call the police and the fire department," Thorpe
said. "It seems that Herr Doktor's experiment has made it to the roof...
and he has Miss Schubacher."
"
I won't be long, partner." Decker dashed away.
Thorpe ran to the side of the building and made for the fire escape. In the
distance, thunder rumbled. Thoughts were racing in his head. Now that the
doctor was dead, his creature was quite insane. Miss Schubacher was likely
to become a victim here. "Stay focused. Don't let your heart mess you
up." He tried to pull that steel curtain over his emotions. It would
all soon be over.
Shortly after the turn of the century, came the time of heroic adventures;
a time of dames and gangsters; a time of new technologies making anything
possible; it was the era of the Pulp Hero!
