By Steve Keates & Auraleon
She came slithering into town cool and slinky. The men looked,
leered and pawed at her. Was it just a coincidence, or did the killing
begin with her arrival? Oddly, the killings were the work of an
enormous cat. She knew that the endless trail of blood stained
corpses followed her every move. 10 pages

Panthers have no family ties! Their blood lusting nature requires
blood red meat. If it is still pulsing with life, all the better! Susan

that a real family would bring. But like a panther, she leaves corpses
lying in bloody pools! 9 pages

By Budd Lewis & Auraleon
There was something more tangible in the wind than a breeze.
There was something more cryptic in the air than a mere change
of jobs. Deep in the rustling shadows of the deserted Cairo Club,
something stirred. And something deep and dormant inside
Pantha burst into a snarling madness all its own! 10 pages
