I really enjoyed "They always come back," a tale of Jack Maloney, who was defeated by Iron Mike Brennan (from "Iron Men"), who comes back to boxing even better than before.

Finished "Kid Galahad" and "Fists of the Desert." The latter was the better tale, but the former had more humor.

Finished "Iron Men," the complete version of "The Iron Man," which was published minus 10,000+ words. I like this story.

Finished "Crowd-Horror." The Steve Costigen stories are over, and so this one had no humor to it - this one was a story of sheer brutality, but with an unexpected tenderness thrown in. It was that unexpected tenderness that makes this story stand out above the rest.

I enjoyed "Hard Fisted Sentiment" but it wasn't quite as good as the others. It was neat seeing a boxer take on two different styles of fighting - wrestling and martial arts.

Finished "A New Game for Costigen," which was a fun read.

Finished "Cultured Cauliflowers," which was a right fun (but brutal) tale. I liked it.
