A
fearless Avenger for Justice atop a blazing steed! The explosive blast of six-guns filling the air, punctuated by the
sharp crack of a whip! A mask protecting the identity
of someone fighting for Right in the Old West! All the elements
to make a fantastic Pulp story came together decades
ago in tales crafted by a prolific Pulp Writer. Now PULP
OBSCURA, an imprint of Pro Se Productions in conjunction with Altus Press,
proudly presents three new tales of this groundbreaking character
from Pulp’s Golden Era!
Pulp
Obscura’s THE NEW ADVENTURES OF SENORITA SCORPION, featuring Les Savage, Jr.’s
Masked Mistress of the Range is now available, adding another stellar
star to the lineup of classic, but often forgotten or underrated
heroes now living again in Pro Se’s exciting imprint!
Created
by Savage in 1944 for Action Stories, Senorita Scorpion is
in fact Elgera Douglas, a young lady who became a legendary
outlaw defending her family's land and legacy, the fabled Lost
Santiago Mine. Beautiful and deadly. A crack shot. A Fast thinking, daring
fighter who is ruthless to those who threaten the land and people
under her protection!
“Senorita
Scorpion,” stated Tommy Hancock, Editor in Chief of Pro Se Productions, “is a
wonderful character on several levels with so much potential. Masked heroes in the Wild West have a special place in the heart
of fans of all sorts, from Pulps to old time radio to
television and beyond. Senorita Scorpion fits right into
the category. Then add in the fact that not only is this a
female lead character created at a time when that wasn't done very
often, but that she was written to be as strong and capable
as the very men she stood against. Les Savage,
Jr. gave Pulp fiction a heroine that is just as relevant
now as she was in the 1940s and we’re definitely glad to be a part of
continuing her adventures!”
Nancy
A. Hansen sends Senorita Scorpion into action to the ringing of THE
BELLS OF ST. FERDINAND! Andrea Judy demonstrates that
some jail breaks simply need A WOMAN’S TOUCH! And Brad
Mengel posts a fantastic bounty with WANTED: SENORITA SCORPION! Three
great writers bring a classic Pulp character galloping back to life
in three daring tales of hard riding action and bold adventure!
Also available are all the original Senorita Scorpion tales written by Les Savage, Junior from Altus Press.
The
March 2013 issue of Pro Se Presents comes out shooting, punching, and
fighting with five great tales of action, adventure, intrigue, and all out
Pulp, so much so that it’s packed into an EXTRA SIZED ISSUE!
"One
of the things," Tommy Hancock, Editor in Chief of and Partner in Pro Se,
"that our magazine is most noted for is variety. Each
issue is different from the previous one, both usually in number of stories and
genres. This nearly double sized issue is no exception to that."
Featuring
three winners of the 2012 Pro Se sponsored White County Arkansas
Writers Competition, Pro Se Presents 18 opens up with Six Guns,
Desperadoes, and men willing to die for what's right in THE JAMES GANG AND THE PIRATES OF ROMEO SHOALS by Jim Barton, HE IS STILL CHEROKEE by Gary R Hoffman, and SHOOT OUT IN EL DORADO by Del Garrett!

new characters destined to be a force in New Pulp- STONE KOLDE by
Alyssa Swift and Tommy Hancock- premieres in PRO SE PRESENTS 18! Featuring a
stunning cover by Marc Guerrero and Format and Design by Sean Ali, get all the
Pulp You can handle in the latest issue of PRO SE PRESENTS!
And last, but certainly not least is the latest release by author Barry Reese.
Cover by George Sellas |
THE ADVENTURES OF GRAVEDIGGER (Volume 1) is also the latest entry in the Sovereign City project.
Her
Life Began…The Day She Died.
This book introduces the latest masked warrior to inherit the mantle of Gravedigger. A lost soul who has returned from the grave to take up a mission of justice and vengeance, Gravedigger stalks the streets of Sovereign City assisted by her faithful agents and surprising familiar allies! She is the last defense against the criminals, madmen, and bizarre creatures that prowl in the shadows!
According to Tommy Hancock, "Barry consistently brings his best to each new project. What makes GRAVEDIGGER more than just the next Reese Unlimited title, though, is the fact that it's a new tale he's telling, new to him and to us. Very few people instill personal excitement and passion for a concept into their work the way Barry does and it definitely carries over onto the written page."
"I wanted," Reese states, "to create something that would continue the theme of personal rebirth that populates a lot of my work, but I also wanted to do something a little bit different from The Rook and Lazarus Gray. I think I accomplished both with Gravedigger. She and her allies were really near and dear to my heart. By the end of the book, I considered them all to be personal friends. I hope readers will react in the same way."
Gravedigger walks the streets ofSovereign City
with Barry's Lazarus Gray and Derrick Ferguson's Fortune McCall, but brings a
whole new flavor to that project. Hancock, the creator of Sovereign City
explains. "Sovereign
City is the best and
worst of every large settlement of human beings you can imagine. In that sort
of mix, there has to be heroes and villains will pop up. What Sovereign hasn't
had is an equalizer of sorts, someone who, while definitely a hero by
definition, is not cast in the traditional Sovereign City
mold for such. Barry delivers that with Gravedigger in spades, which will be
needed to bury the bodies she leaves behind."
With mind blowing interiors by renowned artist Will Meugniot. THE ADVENTURES OF GRAVEDIGGER is a stunning, horrifying new addition to Pulp!
