<p>The comic book business is dying.And so are the people who create them!It's 1951 and the comic book industry is undergoing a recession that's sent half the writers and artists in New York to the streets in search of work. Among that number is writer Max Wiser, former pulp scribe and son of a legendary N.Y.P.D. homicide cop on whose life Wiser based his bestselling pulp stories. But when comics' top writer dies in a suspicious drunken fall from a moving subway train, Max is plunged into a world of lies, conspiracy, and murder ... and finds that there is often a fine line between reality and the pulp fiction he writes.Especially after the beautiful blonde mistress of one of the murdered men works her way into his life ... and when the next victim turns up, Max Wiser learns that even in the often cliché-laden world of comic books, there's really no such thing as The Same Old Story!</p>

<p>Every writer has them: unpublished stories.In the comic book field, stories can go unpublished for any number of reasons. The cancellation of a title, a change in editor or editorial direction, an inventory or fill-in script that goes unused...or a universe-shattering event that renders the characters and story lines moot.In his forty years writing comic books, Paul Kupperberg has accumulated a file of such unpublished comic book scripts. Of those, the Bronze Age stories printed here in their script form for the first time have evoked the most questions in the over thirty-years since they were originally written: The Adventures of Superboy #55 (the intended final issue of the title) and the re-launches of Superboy and Supergirl in the never-to-be DC Double Comics #1 - 2, as both characters were soon to be written out of continuity by Crisis On Infinite Earths. The scripts are introduced with essays by comic book historian John Wells, who provides the historic and continuity background of these never before seen stories.</p>
