Greatheart Silver #1
Subtitle: "Or, The Grand Finale".
A section of the novel publication Greatheart Silver (1982).
DESCRIPTION:
A very funny story.
From the Author's Foreword: "...The great heroes and great villains of the pulp-magazine era would be old men, old indeed, if they were still living. But it's sad to think of them dying with their boots off, their careers uncompleted, decaying into senility, blind, deaf, noses running, salivating, dirtying their sheets, babbling of green fields. So it is only fitting that this tale have them and their days as they lived—in the glory of their youth. This adventure contains a certain amount of levity, but any parodying is done with love...".
