Bradley's detailed look at the filmed adaptations of Ray Bradbury's Martian Chronicles; Tom Deja examines Mike Avallone's Ed Noon--the worst detective ever; Thomas Flynn looks at 70s Martial Arts/Spaghetti Western mash-ups; J. Charles Burwell provides a survey of hardboiled/noir anthologies; Gilbert Colon explores Book Two of Lin Carter's "People of the Dragon" saga; an interview with George Romero historian, filmmaker and sculptor Christian Stavrakis; and the premiere installment of an all-new column from David J. Schow! And if that weren't enough, co-editors Peter Enfantino and John Scoleri weigh in on the I Am Legend/Night of the Living Dead connection, classic crime digests, old TV Guides, and sleaze paperbacks of the 60s and 70s!
