The Rook
by Bill DuBay
As you know, post-1969 comic books are not normally permitted on the list, but seeing as
how Restin Dane, aka The Rook, is the great, great grandson of Wells’s original
traveler (not to mention that the Rook and his Time Castle rescued the traveler at the
Alamo in his debut “castling” adventure), how can I not make an exception?
Mister. . . I don’t know who you are, where you came from, or
where you got them fancy guns. . . but I want t’thank God and
San Houston f’r sendin’ ya! My name’s Crockett. . . and
before you got here, I thought fro sure I’d wake up tomorrow shakin’ hands with th’
devil!
“The Rook” by Bill DuBay, in Eerie 82, March
1977.
