Volume One |
 |
|
• The Big Time
The She-creatures use radio waves to knock down
He-creatures.
Actually it's all about the Change Wars between the "Snakes" and
the "Spiders". All righty then. Click any cover to see it full size. |
|
The Dragon Murder Case •
A midnight swimmer sees a monster,
but hey, it's just a fountain.
"Murder lurks at midnight! A killer lives underwater
and whisks his victims away from the scene of the crime!" (Gosh!) |
|
• Go, Man, Go!
Hot rods, cool cats, and sleazebags. Sign me up!
No doubt read by 'Speed Racer' during his formative years.
Too bad the
sleazebags didn't make it to Speed's show. |
|
Heads Off At Midnight •
Wait! My nails aren't dry!
The back cover reads, "Three weird barbers, shaving a head
without a body - a
prelude to a grim conflict." (Prelude?) |
|
• Possessed
Let's see, it says here, "She hated the man she
loved."
She also liked the man she disliked, and felt so-so about the man she
didn't care either way about. A classic lover's square. |
|
The Case of the Caretakers's Cat •
Nice stark cover
layout. Don't much care what it's about. Back cover says, "A rich old
man dies." I'd tell you more but I don't want to ruin it. |
|
• The Last 14
Man, I'm a sucker for fishbowl spacehelmet covers.
Oh yeah, and pedal-pusher space suits too. "Five women and nine men,
thirsting for love, torn by passion and lust." (Don't you just love science
fiction?) |
|
Shameless Honeymoon •
The author may have also considered
the title, "Shameful Honeymoon".
After all, the line between the two is sometimes
a thin one.
"'Anything for a thrill!' was her code." So she got married.
