Granted it would mess things up, but wiping out J.Edgar? not much of a loss, IMNSHO...

Love the story and the interactions of the folks; will Lamont return any time? Oh, and hem meeting Steve before his Super Soldier days - Bonus!!!

Yeah, with another man in charge of the FBI, the Mob might not get a hold on America, McCarthyism might not happen. Changes America a lot.

The Shadow will return for a three chapter arc.

Thanks for the review.

Great to see more of your work here. Are you going to post this to your mailing list?

I was a bit thrown by the sudden change from the party and Cranston's to the office of Savage. You might want to find a way to highlight such changes as I thought at first that maybe you'd missed posting the rest of the party scene. Speaking of Cranston, will we be seeing him again?

Tbh, I'm a little bit worn out to posting a group numbering in the hundreds and getting maybe one response. So no.

Yes, Cranston will be returning in a couple of chapters for a three chapter arc involving one of this time's most famous authors AND one of history's most notorious boogeymen.

Thanks for the review.

KColl I love that you're into the classic heroes of the Pulps. I used to read the rereleased editions in the 70s of the Shadow and sometimes read reprints of the Doc Savage novels. Yes unlike their contemporaries Superman and even other Golden Age comic super heroes these men were mostly better skilled, more intelligent, and some even had a mystic aire about them. Yet they offered the people of their day a sense of hope and did it only slightly better than the average Joe. I also love the way you've woven Xander and Faith into the environment.

Thanks. I won't just be using Shadow & Doc Savage though, plenty of other pulp heroes will be turning up, as well as characters from other nations of around the same time. :D

Thanks for the review.

Man do you love the Xander/Faith couple theme. Anyway, since they are in the right time period any chance of Xander getting treated with the Super- Soldier treatmet? That is a story line that had only been done really great a couple of times and both authors have dropped off the site lately. Just a thought.

I also like Xander\Cordy, Gunn\Faith, but my favourite couple has always been Faith\Xander, they just fit together. No real thoughts on changing Xander, history only needs one Captain America. :D

Thanks for the review.

Hmm, interesting set of encounters, very interesting.

Great chapter!

The 30s has a lot of interesting characters to encounter. :D

Thanks for the review.

Don't forget the Negroes. Hitler was known to have spies (some less loyal than others) all throughout America. I was kinda hoping Xander would take one of those waiters as a helper since there was no way one of them could be a German or Japanese spy.

I was looking for a black pulp hero I could have the duo interact with. Unsurprisingly I had no joy. Disappointing that. Although a certain African pulp hero will be turning up.

Hitler and his goons are only one of the enemies the duo will face.

Thanks for the review.

If all else fails, Faith and Xander could always leave a letter to be opened by Giles/Willow on such and such date and time.

That's an interesting idea, and Faith's going to try and do something similar to avoid some of her problems in the past\future.

Thanks for the review.

Very good job on the new chapter, I recognized most of the names you have listed.

Any you don't recognise either ask or check wikipedia!

Thanks for the review.

I like this story so far. You usually never see cross overs with the early heroes. I look forward to seeing where this goes.

I find it adds a little bit of variety. Plus I had a reader who wanted me to give it a try.

Thanks for the review.

Liking this story a lot and I hope to see more chapters soon. One question, will Faith decide to track down Kakistos and deal with him?

Not track him down exactly. However there will be appearances from Big K.

Thanks for the review.

In the words of Homer Simpson... Woo-Hoooo!

Things are getting interesting.

Thanks for the review.

Torch and Cap's creators

Yep, that's right.

Thanks for the review.

Brilliant! Love the tie ins that you've managed to pull together. And the introduction to Einstein by taking out an assassin meant for him? Fantastic. Love the list of occultists too... this is going to be one heck of a ride.

Plenty of x-overs and historical cameos to come.

Thanks for the review.

Okay, I'm tracking this little offbeat fic, especially since it's set in the pulp-era.

Between you and Snorpenbass, I'm having a hard time fending off some plot bunnies now.

What you need is a hutch to put your plot bunnies in!

Thanks for the review.

Love the classics. Very nice intro. Hope Lamont gets a chance to talk more with them too.

The Shadow will be re-appearing again.

Thanks for the review.
