MOONSTONE TO PUBLISH THE SPIDER'S ADVENTURES
by Jennifer Contino (Pulse)
Joe Gentile publisher of Moonstone Books tells THE PULSE exclusively they have gained the rights to create comics and other works featuring another pulp staple, The Spider, Master of Men.
Gentile writes:
MOONSTONE NABS The SPIDER!
Moonstone has licensed the “Master of Men” for use in an illustrated prose anthology!
Similar to Moonstone’s Stoker nominated “Kolchak Chronicles”, The Spider will be subject to the prose anthology treatment!
The Spider is the most extreme vigilante crime fighter of all time. His stories were some of the most vivid, lurid, violent, and just all out relentless action ever put to paper!
The tentative author line up includes: John Jakes (yes, the guy who wrote “The Kent Family Chronicles” as well as “North and South”!), and (in alphabetical order):
(horror author) Mort Castle, (horror/mystery author) Bill Crider, Chuck Dixon, Steve Englehart, Ron Fortier, (Batman/Kolchak scribe) CJ Henderson, (western novelist) Howard Hopkins, (Army of Darkness comics writer) James Anthony Kuhoric, (Buffy novelist) Elizabeth Massie, Chris Mills, (#1 Pulp writer) Will Murray, (Vampire the Masquerade writer) Rafael Nieves, Ann Nocenti, (“Scarlet in Gaslight” writer) Martin Powell, Bruce Timm, Richard Valley, (“Science of Superheroes” writer) & Robert Weinberg.
And further exciting news!
A NEW Kolchak anthology is on the way!
This volume, entitled “The Kolchak Casebook” includes stories by: Mike Baron, Steve Bissette, (horror novelist) Rachel Caine, Mark Dawidziak, Tom DeFalco, (Hellboy author) Richard Dean Starr, (horror novelist) PN Elrod, (horror author) John Everson, (detective novelist) Jim Fusilli, Christopher Golden, Tom Ostrander, (Angel City author) Gary Phillips, & Len Wein!
We also have a voodoo detective illustrated novel by (Silencers, Amazing Fantasy) Fred Van Lente, a werewolf prose anthology, two Kolchak novels, and a Sherlock Holmes novel looming in the near future!
