Its great fun for hardboiled fans, fans of Alex Raymond's jaw-dropping artwork, and serial fans. As I happen to be all three, I'm only sorry it took me so many years to finally get this. A real pleasure to read. "Never expect much from your fellow man. It save a lot of disappointment." - Samuel A. Peeples

Then I have another, a folio I think, of Leslie Charteris's scripts for Raymond. Wonderful stuff, X-9, and I haven't thought about him years. The 1937 serial is said to have input from Hammett as well; it's on VCI. There's probably more comprehensive editions in print by now. By the way, did you know Alex Raymond was uncle to actor Matt Dillon? That is the extent of my knowledge of comic book trivia. Richard "Why go out for hamburger when I can get steak at home?"
