Opis

AWESOME TALES brings you thrilling new adventures told with the gusto of the classic pulp fiction magazines In the premiere issue, three tales of intrigue and adventure delight and dazzle your senses. In war-torn Europe, The Domino Lady, the original pulp femme fatale, teams with MI-6 supernatural agent Wicca Girl to battle a mystic force threatening London In "Seven Pictures," by Jean Marie Ward, intrigue in the Pentagon leads to jealousy and blood sports.

But another interested party, a lesbian witch-in-training, also has designs on the loot.
