Über dieses E-Book

Comic book and super-hero fans, rejoice! This volume includes seven scripts—mostly super-hero tales, plus one war/horror story—from a writer whose work has been published by DC Comics, among others. Robert T. Jeschonek has written plenty of scripts in his career, and these seven will shine a light on his writing process, his wild imagination...and some thrilling and thought-provoking adventures. The first in a series collecting some of his best work, this action-packed book includes seven scripts: "Super-Powered Poser Blues," in which a super-hero stand-in runs into unexpected problems while impersonating a mighty mortal; "My Date With Godling," in which a hard-driving cosmic god-hero launches a mission under false pretenses...a mission that quickly goes from intense to insane; "The Mime: On Bread Alone," in which an endangered priest is protected by a silent hero whose make-believe performances have real world consequences; "Young Soldiers Never Die," in which a future warrior discovers that one man's idea of a perfect soldier is another man's idea of pure hell; "The Child Is Father to the Man," in which the younger selves of three great old-time heroes leap forward to the future after suffering their greatest defeat; "Johnstown Man: Losing Ground," a tale of a blue collar steel town hero fighting crime in the age of layoffs; and "Don't Tug on Superstar's Cape," in which a super souvenir hunter goes after the ultimate prize from the ultimate hero and nearly loses everything in the bargain.
