Voir Dire! Verum Dicere... To speak the truth... Now referring to the cunning probing to which jurors and experts are subject during a trial in order to force them to disclose any bias or explain their background -- here, illustrated by fifteen stories in which some of the bravest heroes and most despicable villains are tested to their limits by friends and foes alike!

The Domino Lady faces Fantômas--twice! Felifax crosses paths with Mowgli... Madame Palmyre encounters Randolph Carter in Celephaïs... Count Saint-Germain investigates the Legacy of Atlantis... Captain Vampire runs to become President of Russia... Joseph Rouletabille and Harry Dickson team up in London... Jean-Pierre Séverin the Vampire Hunter is sent on a mission to New Orleans... Doctor Eric Palmer investigates a murder at a pirates' gathering... All this, plus Arsène Lupin, Doc Ardan, Doctor Omega, the Nyctalope and the ever-dangerous Black Coats!


In this sixteenth volume of Tales of the Shadowmen, the only anthology dedicated to international heroes and villains of pulp literature, writers from England, France and the United States unite to pay homage to those great champions and master criminals who enchanted our adolescence.
