Fiction Illustrated #2 - 1976

sgThis is the second volume of a very obscure series of digests, published by Pyramid Books featuring one, one-hundred and twenty page story. Each book in the series presented a different genre--this second volume features Starfawn, a sci-fi tale, as it says on the cover, "in the Star Trek tradition." It's a mix of standard comic book storytelling mixed with book-style prose.

Starfawn was written and edited by Byron Preiss, with art by Steven Fabian, and coloring by the legendary Marie Severin!

I own the Steranko CHANDLER digest. I didn't realize that Preiss did more in that format...

I think there was one with a MIKE MAUSER story...?

I'm pretty sure that there were no MAUSER stories done for Preiss. At the time of these books, the character was still owned by Charlton.

Christopher-

You are absolutely correct, sir!

Dig a little digging, and it was a "Schlomo Raven" story by Sutton.

He was a DIFFERENT little-schlub noir-ish detective-type character!
