Spring Comes Early Thanks to Altus!

Altus Press continues to impress.

A week ago, they announced that they would speed up their release schedule of Black Bat Omnibus volumes, starting with number 4, "hopefully in the spring". Good news on its own!

Earlier today they announced that volume was now available.

Damn. If only spring could come that fast!

So this book will feature the character's tenth to twelfth published stories that originally appeared in early 1941, being The Black Bat’s Dragon TrailThe Black Bat’s Justice and The Black Bat and the Red Menace.

As was the case for the third volume, the first story was written by someone other than regular writer Norman A. Daniels. This time, Norvell W. Page pitches in. Page is better known for his extensive work on The Spider in the 30s and early 40s.

For that matter, The fifth volume will start the same way. The Black Bat's Summons was also written by Page and it should kick off the next book. I guess we'll see later this year!
