If they're not careful, "No Smiling" will be the … Continue reading Smile Fun With Captain Marvel

Thrilling Adventure Stories Presents: Andre Fireson in Necessary Evils
Andre Fireson was no stranger to elegant afternoon affairs like this one. Being the President of a major arms manufacturer, he’d often had to wine and dine his way to a lucrative business deal.

Naturally (because that's how my mind works), I've always wanted to make one of my own.
