Age of Aces Books - New pulp reprint publisher!
The mission of Age of Aces Books is to gather together in
single volumes many of the great series of aviation heroes
that ran in DARE-DEVIL ACES in the 30's and 40's.
The first release (available now on Amazon.com) is CAPTAIN
BABYFACE: THE COMPLETE ADVENTURES by acclaimed hard-boiled
writer Steve Fisher. These ten tales tell the story of
Captain Jed Garrett, of the US Special Agent Corps, and his
struggle to defeat the evil German genius, Mr.Death. Garrett,
known as Captain Babyface because of his youthful appearance,
is assisted by his dog, Click the hellhound. Together, they
try to foil Mr. Death's bloodthirsty schemes, which threaten
defeat for the Allies in WWI.
For Jed Garrett, his orders are simple: Kill Mr. Death! But
who is Mr. Death? One of Germany's brightest chemists and
inventors, he had grown weary of life and entered a monastery
near Alsace-Lorraine. But war came and the monastery was
bombed. Severely injured, German surgeons patched him back
together, though he was left horribly disfigured. And now,
sworn to vengeance against the Americans, he uses his evil
genius for Germany in the "War to End All War."
Author Steve Fisher is best known for his hardboiled work in
BLACK MASK MAGAZINE and in novels like "I Wake Up Screaming".
In Popular Publications long-running aviation pulp DARE-DEVIL
ACES, he created the ten titanic tales of Captain Babyface.
For the first time, they are presented together in one
volume. This is the first in a series from Age of Aces Books
that will feature some of the greatest aviation pulp heroes
of the 1930's.
CAPTAIN BABYFACE: THE COMPLETE ADVENTURES was designed by the
great Chris Kalb and features Frederick Blakeslee's original
illustrations. It is 230 pages and is now available on
