A gumshoe chasing a forbidden love. A warrior pretending to be a goddess. A time-traveler repairing a life of regrets. An embittered explorer losing himself in a bottle. A hero lost on a planet not his own. A pilot hero and the woman who wants to be more than just his nemesis. An assassin who needs to make a martyr of a personal hero. And more.

These are the pulp stories of Sean Taylor. Filled with heroes and villains. Sucker punches and gunshots. Femme fatales and disgruntled coppers. High-flyers and sword and sandal fantasies.

The kind of stories that built an industry. The kind of stories that influenced years of genre fiction.

Pulp fiction.

“Sean Taylor is a serious student of the pulp arts and keeps the grand tradition alive in his stories. This is escapist fiction the way it used to be done, and it’ll leave you grinning.”
—Charles Ardai, Death Comes Too Late, Hard Case Crime

“Sean Taylor delivers the thrills and chills in this collection of elevated pulp goodness.”
—Gary Phillips,Violent Spring, Ash Dark As Night

Show Me a Hero

Sean Taylor

Buy from Audible (audiobook)

As the first staff writer in the award-winning iHero Universe, Sean Taylor understands better than most what it takes to tell stories about people with powers more than the cliche many expect. In this giant tome, Taylor delves deep into the humanity of his creations, from the gender-bending Fishnet Angel to the tragic Starlight, but never forgets to add the right amount of danger and action to accent the tale.

Collecting Taylor’s entire run on iHero’s groundbreaking superhero prose magazine, Show Me A Hero is sure to please long-time fans and newcomers alike.

"Sean is a writer of the first order and his stories have always exhibited a literary bent that’s allowed iHero to defy the preconceptions people have about superheroes in a prose format."

—Frank Fradella, author of Swan Song, Valley of Shadows, The Complete Idiot's Guide to Drawing Basics, and founder of iHero Entertainment and Cyber Age Adventures

...More fully-rounded, more realistic and, as a direct result, more human than all but the best superhero comic book work."
—From the introduction by Dwayne McDuffie

“Sean Taylor’s stories focus less on the obvious trappings of the genre, instead homing in on the conflicted, flawed human beings for whom greater-than-mortal powers don’t convey greater-than-mortal morality.”
—Tom Brevoort, Executive Editor, Marvel Comics

Sin and Error Pining

Sean Taylor

Enjoy this special collection of holiday stories from the superhero universe of iHero Entertainment and Cyber Age Adventures. Stories feature fan-favorite characters The Grandstander, Ms. Futura, The Boom Machine, and Starlight.

“Show Me a Hero delivers a series of stories that are dangerous, intriguing, fun and lathered with that sense of character readers will be sure to love. Once you’re done reading, you’ll know you read a well-crafted, fully rounded piece of work.”
—Dan Jurgens, author of The Death of Superman

“Hitting a heavy beat on the ’human’ in superhuman, Taylor’s stories pulse with a visceral reality. The biggest villains his heroes face might be their own bad habits; their greatest challenges are working through relationships—not surviving the battle. Show Me a Hero lives in the place where modern fiction meets mythology.”
—Barbara Randall Kesel, author of Alien vs. Predator, WildC.A.T.s, Rogue Angel: Teller of Tall Tales

“’Show me a hero and I will write you a tragedy.’ Sean Taylor takes F. Scott Fitzgerald to heart in a selection of stories that reveal the high price even super heroes often pay to do the right thing. If there are any tears in these riveting tales— and, I’m afraid, there are—they do not diminish the courage of Taylor’s champions or the power of his writing. These are the quiet pains that stay with the readers and, hopefully, help them appreciate the heroes in their own lives.”
—Jenny Blake (formerly Tony Isabella), author of 1000 Comic Books You Must Read, Star Trek: The Case of the Colonist’s Corpse

The Corpse Delivers the Eulogy

Sean Taylor

Buy from Audible (audiobook)

"Everybody starts somewhere. No. Wait. Let's personalize that a bit. All writers start somewhere. You started somewhere. Maybe it's a little bit of raw talent. Maybe it's enough interest to learn a little bit of technique. Or maybe it's blind, unfocused determination spent with a blank screen and a blinking cursor or an empty, yellow, lined sheet of paper on a legal pad. But it is indeed somewhere. It's a place, a starting block, a line that indicates go."

This collection of both early and new works is mine.

And it is yours too, your introduction to my work. Collecting poems, short stories, and essays about writing and reading, this slim volume will tell you all you need to know.

More than you want to know, I'm sure.

Warts and All

Sean Taylor

Warts and All collects both published and previously unpublished comic book scripts written by Sean Taylor. It includes the story he wrote for Gene Simmons' House of Horrors, all the stories he wrote for The Shooting Star Comics Anthology, All-Star Pulp Comics, and many more.

This collection outlines his method of scripting for a comic book and is presented as the scripts were originally written for the artists he worked with on the illustrated versions of these stories—Warts and All, as the cliché goes. They are provided here both for reading and for modeling for those who continue to approach him at conventions and ask, "How do you write a comic book script?" or “Do you have a copy of a script I could look at?”

Well, the answer is yes. And you’re looking at it.
