FantaS!tic Story
I’ve heard about Miravle Monday for a longtime but never got to it. I couldn’t put this podcast down. It’s a true classic tale. Thanks Elliot for making this wonderful tale.
Work in the Author's Own Voice
I am a longtime fan of Mr. Elliot S! Maggin's work in comics and his novels and short story collections. I am most especially fond of "Miracle Monday", and it is a delight finally to hear the author reading this novel, one or two chapters at a time. If you ever had any doubts about where, exactly, Metropolis is, listen to him reading, and you will doubt no more.
Mr. Maggin has suggested that he will also talk about how he came to re-issue "Miracle Monday" after it had long been out of print, and I'm hoping, too, that he will read other of his works, like "Luthor's Gift" and "For the Luvva Jack".
