Words fail me. I must squee, but I cannot fully express how awesome this is and how happy I am that you're sharing it. ♥♥

*peeks around*

This is totally your fault (also, EXTREMELY work-in-progress and fail!, as I'm still learning how to use my tablet).

Terry sketch.

I loooooooooooooooove it. Damn, I have been pondering the noir double life of Jamie and Terry in this story and Guido's seedy past and all that sort of thing. This. This is wonderful. Her hair is so beautiful, it's just like I imagined.

I am overcome with joy! Thank you!!!

Ponder away! (And write mooar. This is such an awesome little AU, it needs to be expanded.)

You're very welcome, I'm so happy you like it. Eventually, once I figure stuff out, I hope to have it in full color.

EEEEEEEEE

'Star's origin story was just...perfect. I could practically see the little yellow boxes and the flat colours. And Terry as a stage siren on Reno, and 'Star learning about Cap and Namor in the movies, because of course, that's where they watched the news back then (I love little details like that <3) The sad parts were, well, sad, but terribly well written, too. ;__; And just...everything!

And, eeeeee. Epilogue. <333 It's past 1 am here, so I guess I should go to sleep, but thanks for uploading this so quickly! (I'm not going to add more hearts because it's getting kinda creepy, but I imagine you get the point, heh)

Thank you for reading and leaving such a wonderful comment. You've picked out all my favorite parts, basically. Again, thank you!

You get points, because you flatter me with one of my favorite idioms. :D

Thank you!

Great story. Although Stan Lee "True Believer" bombast was a style of the 1960s and 1970s, not the 1940s.

Thank you!

I did play up some Silver Age things, because they amuse me and popped into my head naturally, but I went back and read alot of Golden Age Captain America, Superman, and Wonder Woman comics to write this--especially Shatterstar's backstory. Sorry if the Silver Age stuff was too heavy handed.

That was a very enjoyable read! I was listening to a recording of the Shadow earlier today ("Murder in the Death House") because this has put me in such a mood for the 1930s/1940s. Now I'm going to read some of The Spirit. I can picture several of these scenes in aclassic comic book style. I love it! ^_^

[intravenusann]

Thank you!

Eeee! Fellow Shadow fan! I only hear it on the radio. I've really got to get it on CD so I can enjoy whenever I want. It's so good. I have no read The Spirit yet, but I know I really should.

I'm really glad you enjoyed it!

It's really something! I'm thinking I should buy the Shadow cds for my Dad as well, because it'll be sure to make him nostalgic. :)

If you pick up Will Eisner's comic, I recommend "The Best of The Spirit" TPB. It's got some great selections and gives taste of just how creative and innovative a comic book creator Eisner was in a time that comics were not being well-considered as a literary form.

I think if I got it, I would be obligated to share it with my parents. It's their fault I even know it exists.

Thank you for your recommendation! I've always intended to check it out simply because, well, there has to be a reason that he has an award named after him.
