Until We Meet Again
Savage Society of Bronze 1
1982
In the heart of Manhattan, a seasoned night watchman’s quiet shift takes a terrifying turn when a blinding light and ghostly figure leave him shaken and broken. As his son rushes to his aid, a bronze-skinned stranger with golden eyes appears followed by a procession of bizarre, spectral beings, each one stranger than the last. What begins as a night of confusion quickly unravels into something far more mysterious, as a hidden battle between good and evil rages silently above the city skyline.
Blending supernatural suspense with classic pulp heroism, this eerie tale reveals a secret world that exists just beyond the edge of human awareness. As police and medics dismiss the strange events as hallucinations, an unseen force leaves behind only a cryptic, glowing farewell—proof that legends walk among us, fighting battles we may never understand.
“And as Joel DiGiacimo mentioned, Shelby Peck was writing stories in Savage Society of Bronze. Unfortunately, after the first two (Until We Meet Again and Stones of Death), Bantam took notice, and so in the third story, The Wizard on Gallows Hill, Peck was forced to change the names. Doc became “Doc King”, Monk became “Midge”, Ham became “Beau” (as in Beau Brummel), and Long Tom & Johnny were combined into one character, “Long John”.” — Darryl A. Elliott
