THE RETURN OF JACK MYSTERY: Childhood Imagination and the Creative Process (A mix of truths and white lies)

This was originally written as the concluding section of a three-part look back at a comic-book superhero I created as a child. It's slightly tweaked here to stand on its own, possibly as part of my eventual short story collection Guitars Vs. Rayguns!!

The original post has been unpublished for bookkeeping purposes. It can be seen as a chapter in my book Guitars Vs Rayguns!! Short Stories And Other White Lies.
