Reviews
“Right from the start, Dirscherl throws you into the middle of crazy action . . . This book is a whole lot of superheroic pulp fun, and the good news is there seems to be more to come.” - Richard Scott, <em>Super Reader</em><br /><br />“I think [Dirscherl] really captured a noir element with [his] voice.” - Joshua Gamon, writer, <em>Abigail & Rox</em>, <em>Digital Webbing<br />Presents</em><br /><br />“In the past five years there has been a tremendous resurgence in pulp fiction centering on the old heroic pulps. Young writers have started taking up the mantle of old masters like Walter Gibson and Lester Dent and begun creating their own avengers in tales of genuine purple prose. Among the best of this new generation of wordsmiths is Australian, Frank Dirscherl and the exploits of his modern pulp paladin, The Wraith. This is grand pulp!” - Ron Fortier, writer, <em>The Spider</em>, <em>Brother Bones</em>, <em>Domino Lady</em>
