MIDNIGHT GRAFFITI: Rainy Season; Where I Shall Dwell in the Next World; The River Styx Runs Upstream; Say Hello Mr Quigley; Sinus Fiction; Emerald City Blues; Cattletruck; Bad Guy Hats; I Want to Get Married; Bob the Dinosaur Goes to Disneyland by James Van Hise
I picked this up because it had two of my favorite authors in it - Stephen King and Joe Lansdale. King's story is great! It's that genre of a small town with a secret/tradition and what happens when outsiders get in. If I "toad" you more, I'd ruin it! As for Lansdale, well I didn't like his entry. It just didn't work for me, but I still love him! The other stories run the gamut! You've got a weird story with Oz in it, a midget with a crack head, and frog rain! I really liked "Say Hello, show more Mister Quigley" and "Bad Guy Hats"! I couldn't stand "Sinus Fiction" and, in fact, did not finish it. Still, "Rainy Season" is my favorite, and I'm glad I read this! show less

The King Comic Heroes by James Van Hise
A slim reference book of the major King Features Syndicate heroes and creators. Includes interviews with Hal Foster, Lee Falk and Al Williamson, some nice black-and-white illustrations. The King Features Syndicates strips are well worthy of a reference book, but this is a rather haphazardly put-together book. Includes looks at Flash Gordon, Jungle Jim, Secret Agent, Mandrake the Magician, The Phantom, Prince Valiant and a few others.
