THE GREEN LAMA


Did you know your fellow JimSmash Reader ADAM LANCE GARCIA is a badass author?! He's been winning awards for his GREEN LAMA novels, which continue the tales of the classic 1940s Pulp Hero!

I asked Adam to tell me more about the Green Lama, and here's what he enthusiastically had to say:
"The Green Lama is the worlds’ first Buddhist pulp hero created by Kendell Foster Crossen in 1940 for the Double Detective magazine, and I think it’s fair to say he’s one of the most unique characters in the history of pulp and comics. The stories we’re telling at Moonstone, are a direct continuation—taking place before, between, or after—the original fourteen pulp stories, and are the only ones fully licensed and approved by the Crossen Estate, making these the only truly canon Green Lama tales out there. These tales dig deeper into the Lama’s supernatural abilities and explore the shadows of the pulp world. More than anything, we approach Dumont as a flawed, three-dimensional character set against the darkness. If you’re a fan of the original stories you can read these books as the literal next step in this character’s journey, but if you’re new the character—or even more so, not a fan of pulp or superheroes—these books are written with you in mind."
Awesome, Adam!
