This is a replica reprint of Fame and Fortune Magazine (1928-1929 Street & Smith) Pulp Vol. 25 #4.

A complete replica of an incredibly scarce pulp with a nebulous character who haunts Wall Street, from writer Frank S. Lawton!

Fame and Fortune Magazine was a short-lived pulp by Street & Smith, the publisher of The Shadow and Doc Savage. Although credited as possibly being the inspiration for Street & Smith's hero character, The Shadow, this story doesn't have anything whatsoever to do with The Shadow outside of using a name. More hype than reality!

This doesn't take away from the fact that this magazine is so scarce that only a small handful of copies are known to exist!

Softcover, 48 pages, Text (with B&W chapter illustrations).

NOTE: Do NOT confuse with Fame and Fortune Magazine (1928-1929 Street & Smith) Pulp Vol. 25 #4.

Volume 1 - 1st printing. "The Boy in the City of the Dead!"

Written by Kanata Yanagino. Art and cover by Kususaga Rin. Translated by James Rushton.

In a city of the dead, long since ruined and far from human civilization, lives a single human child. His name is Will, and he's being raised by three undead: the hearty skeletal warrior, Blood; the graceful mummified priestess, Mary; and the crotchety spectral sorcerer, Gus.

The three pour love into the boy, and teach him all they know. But one day, Will starts to wonder: "Who am I?" Will must unravel the mysteries of this faraway dead man's land, and unearth the secret pasts of the undead. He must learn the love and mercy of the good gods, and the bigotry and madness of the bad.

And when he knows it all, the boy will take his first step on the path to becoming a Paladin.

A bloody battle is all but certain, and words of warning come from every direction imaginable-including from the god of undeath. Yet not even a nostalgic reunion can deter Will. He means to stay his course and fight. Thus the curtain rises on a tense clash in the lost underground kingdom.

Is Will strong enough to hold his own against a dragon feared by even the gods, or will this be the Faraway Paladin's last stand?

After all, she was born in one eleven years ago, and her father makes his living flying them over the forests and lakes of Canada's Northwest Coast. She has been aboard on many flights but this one was different. It was a routine trip until an engine caught fire and Jessie's father was forced to ditch the plane in Petrel Channel. Soon they hear the sound of another seaplane, a "Norseman", which has come to the rescue. Everyone boards the plane but it's a tight squeeze. There is an extra, very large passenger: a grizzly bear. It is tranquilized at the moment but as the plane takes off and the bear begins to stir, the zoo director accompanying the animal admits that perhaps he didn't administer enough sedative!

1st printing. Written by Daniel Marrone. Art and cover by Seth. At once familiar and hard to place, the work of acclaimed Canadian cartoonist Seth evokes a world that no longer exists - and perhaps never existed, except in the panels of long-forgotten comics. Seth's distinctive drawing style strikingly recalls a bygone era of cartooning, an apt vehicle for melancholy, gently ironic narratives that depict the grip of the past on the present. Forging the Past offers a comprehensive account of this work and the complex interventions it makes into the past. Seth's comics are suffused with longing for the past, but on close examination this longing is revealed to be deeply ambivalent, ironic, and self-aware.
