  <default_description>Comics writers have fertile imaginations and great story-telling skill. Here they step out from behind the artists to show off their prose writing abilities. Included in this volume are:  &quot;Louise,&quot; a tale from Max Allan Collins about his comic book detective, Ms. Tree, &quot;Toto, I Have a Feeling We're Not in Kansas Anymore,&quot; a humorous science fiction tale about some odd mayhem taking place at an amusement park that hadn't been there the day before, &quot;The Black '59,&quot; a rock'n'roll horror story about a guitar that holds the soul of a musician, a crime story by Kurt Busiek, &quot;Life in Fur,&quot; which is about as sensitive, caring, and sweet as a werewolf story should be, and five more.
