Make haste, Guthrie, or so I’ve been told in words sometimes not quite as quaint. So, I’ll be brief.

In the introduction to the last issue, I had this strange notion that I’d change the way Noir Originals was updated. For some reason, it occurred to me that it would be easier to update it monthly. Fine idea, but it simply wasn't going to happen, as I quickly discovered. So, from now on and for as long as Noir Originals continues, it’ll be done in the 'original' manner which we've all by now grown accustomed to. There might be a longer period between updates, but I’ll try to keep the gap within acceptable limits. If you listen carefully, you might even hear rumours...

As always, a massive thank-you to all who contributed to this (once again) terrific issue.

Yep. Here it is at last. Issue #5. I’ll shut up and let you get on with reading it.
