Oh, that sounds like far too much work. Where's the FUN in it?
I read most of those great Kenneth Robeson potboilers. At least it was
INTELLIGENT pulp that had some regard for, oh, say, PHYSICS. Those
killer Bama covers on Bantam were my first non-fine-art exposure to the
idea that you could use superior techniques on wild-haired things.
Things began going both up- and downhill from there. Doc Savage, Pulp
Uncle of My Youth. He taught me what f**k means, "Bob" bless 'im.
