Sometimes a villain, sometimes a hero, always the great lover and never a dull moment.


That is the essence of Rafael Vega, or otherwise known as the Black Death! Perhaps that is because he is the Chief of Secret Police or because he believes the shortest distance between two points is a bullet. It is because of few of those bullets that he now owns an America Thunderbird, which assists him greatly in matters of love and war. He works for the Great One, El Presidente, the runt, and he wishes him to investigate the widow of one of the country's greatest reformers. Unfortunately, that reformer met with a rather bad accident, and is with the living no more. His beautiful widow claims his spirit lives on, which does not please the Great one. During the first seance,he witnessed, his bad the General get murdered. At the next seance he was named the murder. He felt he did not live up to his name, the Black Death, so he killed a few of his enemies and ran off with the beautiful American girl, with the firing squad hot on the wheels of the Thunderbird.

Al Wheeler finds hot tempers, hot chicks, and one warm corpse

UK Photo Cover
Christmas stockings? Filled with goodies?
Depends on what kind. Al Wheeler doesn't need the holiday bit to wish for the well-filled stocking. He's in favor of lovely legs, and there on up, nicely stacked, at any month of the twelve month year. (Thirteen if you count Leap Year). "Excelsior!" says Al, which is not the only stuff they pack around the Christmas crockery. Al rises to that battle cry when he meets Maggie, the gal with the wild grey streak in her hair, the wild black and white disappearing dress, the wild recklessness of propriety, held together by only a drawstring.

A knife-sharp insight into the powerful clashes of big business.
And the brittle passions of its men and women.


When Electronics Incorporated, the commercial colossus that employed him, pulled Kieth Kirkland back from New York to Sydney, he thought it was trouble. The trouble came in two parts. The television receiver that would not and Jason Sloan, the new boss, who wanted a fall-guy and selected Keith for the job. He was the expert who had to sell the new TV receiver to a disbelieving public. And if it failed, Kieth's head wouldn't be the one to roll. He had a fall guy and there were the distractions along the way. Distractions like Peggy Bush, the blonde secretary in his office. The girl who believed that nothing was too personal for a personal secretary. Particularly when  it helped her career. And then there was the beautiful Lavinia, Jason's wife, who had two loves and neither of them was Jason. Keith thought he had reached the end when he had to chose between career and his best friend./ But the troubles had only started. Troubles that were to end in stark tragedy and sudden death.
