    About this ebook

    I decided to give Mister Know my absolute what’s-what words of wisdom straight out. It’s nuts to being a nice guy, and to the blazes with the entire business. So I shouted at him, “You’re a hopeless case! I taught you everything I know about how to become a fantastic pulp hero, and you still can’t do anything right! You don’t even do a decent chilling, sinister laugh that every pulp hero must have to create ultimate terror among the criminals he’s about to shoot dead. You’re not ready to become a save-the-world-type pulp hero, and what’s more, you will never be. Look, why don’t you forget about becoming one of those courageous, never-dying pulp heroes, which is what I was before I got real old, real careless, and killed, and remain old Mister Know, that obnoxious individual nobody could possibly ever like?”

      If you came to Sam Neill’s memoir without knowing the first thing about it, chapter one would hold a terrible shock. It begins amusingly enough: a lovely anecdote about his daughter Elena being asked at school when she was little about what her dad d

      Mike Johnson's Obligation - Wayne Greenough

      Mike Johnson has agreed to make Mister Know into a pulp hero. This may seem like a rather easy thing for Mike to accomplish. But is it really easy, or is it really impossible?

      I decided to give Mister Know my absolute what’s-what words of wisdom straight out. It’s nuts to being a nice guy, and to the blazes with the entire business. So I shouted at him, You’re a hopeless case! I taught you everything I know about how to become a fantastic pulp hero, and you still can’t do anything right! You don’t even do a decent chilling, sinister laugh that every pulp hero must have to create ultimate terror among the criminals he’s about to shoot dead. You’re not ready to become a save-the-world-type pulp hero, and what’s more, you will never be. Look, why don’t you forget about becoming one of those courageous, never-dying pulp heroes, which is what I was before I got real old, real careless, and killed, and remain old Mister Know, that obnoxious individual nobody could possibly ever like?
