It's not easy having a set experience of certain characters, ala the novel length, the having to readjust that to these much smaller episodes. Whereas some characters like Sherlock Holmes worked much better in the short story format. That you even were willing to give this book a try is to your credit.Ron Fortierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13309149554499286208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36899342.post-36167490316078434802009-06-21T09:06:47.725-07:002009-06-21T09:06:47.725-07:00I really wish I could say favorable things about t...I really wish I could say favorable things about this anthology, but I just can't get through it. I'm afraid I think of The Avenger as a novel and not short stories. Just my opinion.Tim Mayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16191899859528990414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36899342.post-20235943064070244192009-05-17T10:12:00.000-07:002009-05-17T10:12:00.000-07:00We're on the same page here, Barry.

After he completes one on the Shadow (now in pre-production) and Doc Savage. Keeping all fingers crossed.Ron Fortierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13309149554499286208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36899342.post-22945668422700305192009-05-17T09:28:00.000-07:002009-05-17T09:28:00.000-07:00The Avenger is possibly my favorite pulp hero of a...The Avenger is possibly my favorite pulp hero of all time -- I love the concept of Doc Savage more but the stories in the Avenger series are just so much better. This is a great collection and I'm holding out hope that it can spur a resurgence in Avenger-related comics, novels and maybe even a movie.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
