In "Pretenders to the Throne," the sultry DOMINO LADY battles a supernatural menace threatening London. In her civilian identity, the lovely Ellen Patrick, on behalf of the Roberts Commission, appraises artworks stolen by the Nazis -- after-hours, as the DOMINO LADY she plays a cat-and-mouse game with a gentleman thief who is in over his head. Nazis, witches, and the pulp-style of excitement. This is a rollicking tale that brings together the pulp femme fatale, as revived by Rich Harvey, and Wicca Girl, co-author R. Allen Leider's 900-year old witch turned MI-6 agent. Face it, this yarn has everything!

In addition to the 15,000 word lead feature, this issue also features two spine-tingling back-up stories. "Seven Pictures" by Jean-Marie Ward deals with murder and hubris at the Pentagon, while "The Warlock Murders" confronts Druscilla (a.k.a. Wicca Girl) with an unsolved 300-year old mystery.

This issue sports a dynamic cover painting featuring the Domino Lady by Ed Coutts. The print edition includes new black and white illustrations by Ed Coutts.

Awesome Tales doesn’t just take its inspiration from pulp fiction — Awesome Tales IS pulp fiction, through and through. The heroes are heroic, the damsels also get their licks, and the villains are real finks. Cliffhangers? Suspense? Better take your heart medication and buckle up!
