Moonstone Forums

How about Moonstone collecting together all their Boston Blackie comics in new reprints single book edition? I recently fell on some 1940 old time radio mp3 episodes on the internet and I'm starting to like this character, enough to make a modest page film wish list

And if possible if anyone could also reprint into a single new reprint book, all the original Boston Blackie short stories starting in 1914 by Jack Boyle

Finally new Boston Blackie Moonstone projects would also be welcome.

Thanks for the links. Botar has a good amount of not only Boston Blackies, but Superman, Green Hornet and Shadow radio shows.

Should keep me busy for a week or two.

I'd like to see some of these BB stories done as comic adaptions. Gotta say Moonstone's grim and gritty Blackie hasn't been my thing.

Listened to a bunch of episodes. Man, those things are addictive.
Some of interest to Moonstone fans:

Mr. Keen, tracer of lost persons: not bad mysteries, but how did we go from a older, white PI on the radio to a guy that looks like Avery Brooks in the comics?

Bulldog Drummond: more than Gentleman detective than the brawler from the comics. I prefered the comic version, but the episode set on the yacht is downright creepy.

Captain Midnight: half the episodes are ads for Captain Midenight merchandize and I keep getting the middle episodes of a serial, so it's not winning me over.

Johnny Dollar: this one has the comic reading just like the radio show. fun stuff..

Well, we got a couple pieces of good news for you! The Boston Blackie TPB has been out of print for some time, but it will be reprinted real soon to go along with…

“Sex, Lies, and Private Eyes” a prose collection of crime stories (one of them features Blackie) AND…the release of “Partners in Crime”, which is our big detective-heroes team up novel! All of this should happen within the next 6 months we hope!

Curious to see the crossover. Not just because I'm a huge crossover junkie, but Moonstone's PIs are scattered about a bit historical-wise, so it'll be interesting to see it pulled together.

Is this going to a have a bunch of small team ups ( two or three guys)? or is it a Crisis on earth Noir and they all show up?

Either way, it'll get my money.

Well that is real good news, I would prefer regular over digest size, but the one I was able to get, the content of it was excellently, "Bloody Shame" was real good

I would prefer a collected hardcover unlimited edition, but I'll take what I can find
