Designed by Ali Ideas end up in my gun in many styles, many calibers, let’s say. Some are fully formed, can’t wait to pull the trigger explosions of scene, pathos, action, adventure, beginning, middle, and end. Others are skeletal, the primary characters are there, the macguffin, if there is one, is there, too, and there’s…
VAN PLEXICO-Writer/Creator/Publisher by Chuck Miller, ALL PULP Staff Writer AP: Van, it’s good to have you in the interviewee’s seat at ALL PULP again!
