khaosworksIn the previous entry, the first passage came from the very first Shadow story published in 1931, "The Living Shadow" (PDF), where Harry Vincent is rescued from his suicide attempt by the Shadow himself, and offered a lifetime of adventure.
The second passage comes from The Return of Tarzan, the second novel in the 24-book saga, when a group of thugs hired by Tarzan's newly acquired arch-enemy Nikolas Rokoff have trapped the ape-man in a room with them, only to find that it's they who are trapped with him.
The third passage is from the last page of the first Doc Savage adventure, published in 1933, "The Man of Bronze" (PDF), a triumphant affirmation of the mission of Doc and his Fabulous Five (no Queer Eye jokes, please), and a promise to readers for the years of excitement to follow.
I'd have included a passage or two from "A Princess of Mars" or one of the Avenger stories, but that might have been a bit of overkill. The song, "Where Are The Heroes?" is a self-indulgent one, based on my recent return to pulp reading and a way of underscoring my 1987 story, "The Triumphant Return of Buck Savage!", which is a sneaky way to suggest you read it because, even though it needs a bit of polishing, I still think it's my best work.
