Black Tower Super Heroes The Ultimate Game Update


 Black Tower Super Heroes The Ultimate Game
 is 180 pages and I have so far lettered 40 before the eyes said it was too much.  

The good thing is that. like Werewolves, the text pages are gone. Why is that good?  Well, it means that although I can remember a lot of the dialogue I am coming up with new dialogue that helps the story flow much better.  

I am hoping that the book should be finished by the end of March -so long as I don't go blind!

“The Ghost Hunter” “The Demon Stalker” “The Walker Amongst The Dead” “The Man of Dark Mystery” -he was called many things by journalists in his time. If he heeded a call for help then that person was saved...or doomed.  Whether in the East End slums, Corridors of Power or mansions of the Blue Blooded: if the preternatural was at work no one stopped him.

                        Until that one night.

During periods of dark melancholy, Dick uses the A-Z Case files to try to revive Vernon’s spirits (no pun intended). For the first time ever read about -

 

   E –The Case of the End Room

              V –The Rescue of Verity Brown

                               I –The Horror of Inglenook Hall

                                    P—The Paddington Sewer Incident

Black Tower Comics and Books -NO International Shipping:all local

 


To make it clear: 

1.  if you order a book from the online store it does not involve international shipping. Books are printed in your region -that's how print on demand works.  

2.  The price of the book should be shown in your own currency.

3.  Obviously your local postal rates apply and there are options for tracked, special delivery and untracked (the least expensive) postage from within your region.

Ordered in your region, printed in your region and delivered by the postal system in your region.  It could not be more simple.

One important thing to note is that third party sellers will state "post free" and that is a lie. You often pay 30-75% more on a book ordered through a third party seller than from the online store. The reason is because the third party seller HAS to buy from the online store and the selling price usually covers two postal payments -0from store to them and then to you.  

People have purchased from third party sellers and not gotten their books or have had to wait over a month for them to arrive. At that point they contact me and it is all very simple: they tried to rob me of a sale and bought a book at a far more expensive price because they read "post free". That is important because if you buy from a third party seller you are removing the small profit I make on a book. Also, ordering from the online store is not just cheaper but, even though it has never happened since I started selling in 2009,  I can actually look into why you have not had your book delivered. Third party seller -your tough luck.

Support the creator and publisher not third party scammers.


I have asked to clarify which countries books can be ordered from as I know someone in Hong Kong and China were interested and it looks like you can order from there. According to the  print company:

We do NOT ship to the following countries/territories:


  • Belarus

  • Region of Crimea

  • Cuba

  • Iran

  • Johnston Island

  • North Korea

  • Russia

  • Saint Pierre Et Miquelon

  • South Sudan

  • Sudan

  • Syria

  • Republic Of Turkmenistan

  • Ukraine

  • Wake Islands

  • Yemen Arab Republic

  • Venezuela

Hope that helps!

When urban crime seems to be out of check with the police unable to handle every incident and people too scared to even walk along the road what happens?

Do the police give up as resources are over stretched while the public scream for action? How can the police be everywhere: at every location where there is going to be a minor or serious crime? They can't.

Is vigilante action required?

The early 1980s created Attacker could have been anybody. He appeared in a series of no text strips dishing out violence for violence. 42 years later his/her identity is still unknown. With some takes on the character by Ben R Dilworth and a Preview to the Return of the Gods series this is action all the way.

Keenan King aka Streamline of Earth Parallel 669 meets agent Grimes of MI5 in Westminster Abbey for a briefing. A briefing that seems to indicate that the man who helped King and gave him his powers, Dr. Rose, has mass produced the formula used on him.

If the man who helped give him the powers of Streamline has turned rogue for money or other reasons he has to be stopped.

An army of Streamlines would be unstoppable and a threat to not just the UK but the world.
