BOLD STORIES #1: This is one of the truly rare comics of the early 1950s, and an BOLD experiment (pun intended) in merging the mainstream comic with the adult-oriented cartoon magazines. It only lasted for three issues, and a fine quality copy today can cost hundreds, even thousands Ð no wonder, considering the quality of the work inside. This book contains ÒThe Ogre Of ParisÓ by Wally Wood, ÒMiss SherlockÓ by Jack O' Brian, and there's little doubt that jack Kirby had a hand in ÒCriss Cross.Ó Many stories have yet to be definitively attributed, but you can see the talented ribaldry throughout. By the standards of some, both today and back when it was published, BOLD STORIES might be low-brow, definitely sexist, and not for the eyes of the kids.... but this is true comic history!

It was part of an experiment from Kirby Publishing in the early 1950s Ð a series of adult-oriented humor and suspense magazines geared toward the mainstream rather than the back room. It took advantage of some of the top talents of the day Ð in the case of CANDID TALES some Wally Wood and lot of Bob Powell! Sadly, the experiment, and Kirby Publishing, was gone in a matter of a couple years,but we have the benefits of modern publishing terminology to bring these great books back to life! CANDID TALES ran for two issues, both of which can be rare and expensive to find. Here we have CANDID TALES #1 Ð just as funny today as it was over 70 years ago Ð although perhaps considered a little less appropriate and less socially correct, but I think that only makes them better!

NOTE; This is the full-sized version. You can also find it in a digest-sized version, closer the the original published size.

THE PUBLICATION OF THIS BOOK (AND MANY MORE) IS ONLY DUE TO THE SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGEMENT OF BOB RICE.

A familiar story, just with…..less.
Format: Kindle
So, as other reviewers make clear, this is very similar to Pack Darling and The Beta. It’s much closer aligned with The Beta, in plot and maybe more like Pack Darling with characters. That being said, I don’t hate this…..but it wasn’t great either. It’s both books mentioned but just….less. Less angst, less emotion, less feeling. The plot feels very half fleshed out, and the “bad guy” feels underwhelming. I didn’t really feel any real emotions from and of the male leads, except maybe Oliver. The others fell sorta flat for me. And Mika makes herself out to be this big bad ass straight outta training and then we never see it from here again with the one fitting room incident as the exception. SPOILER: The whole, “Oh, I’m actually probably an Omega, but I don’t wanna be but I do actually wanna be but no one can ever know my secret that I do nothing to hide “ thing fell so flat. She never commutes to believing she was secretly an omega, but also mentions her “secret” a lot. It just felt so manufactured. I’m intrigued enough to read part 2 and see how the author closes everything out, but this is not one I’ll recommend or ever come back to.

Good start to a series
Format: Kindle
I delayed reading the series for reasons I don’t remember. But my TBR list is huge so I thought I’d take a shot of this and I was pleasantly surprised. I didn’t think the blurb about it was anything special. But it was a very good book. It took some interesting twists and turns. I am so glad the second book is already out. Because I would not have waited patiently. Very slow burn but good storyline. 🔥🔥/5

A good read
Format: Kindle
Multiple points of view. 3 Alpha men and an Omega male. She is a Beta in training for a new program placing betas in Alpha/Omega packs. Mila is only doing the program for the money to take care of her dad. She wasn't expecting to fall for a pack but when she sees this packs Omega she is done for. There is just something about him. His Alphas are good looking as well. Too bad she is hiding a secret and their government is acting shady. I liked it and can't wait to see where their story goes.

Slightly repetitive but I did love some things
Format: Kindle
I love this type of story. And omegaverse is one of my all time favorite genres. But there are a few things that pulled me out of my enjoyment while I was reading. It was repetitive at times as well as struggled with telling not showing. So we didn’t always feel like we were experiencing things with the main character. There were also some plot holes but they may still be answered in part 2. Now this isn’t to be said I didn’t enjoy parts of the story. I loved the almost instant love between Mila and Oliver. And how he started changing around her.
