The greats are Elmer Keith, Bill Jordan, Skeeter Skelton, and today John Taffin.  Has the era of great gunwriters past?  Most gunwriting is today is unoriginal, uninspired, and just plain uninteresting.  Taffin is the only exception.  There are no great stories, adventures, or real experience.  Just a rehash of ground already covered by the greats.  I saw the picture of one terribly overweight Mike "Duke" Venturino wearing a German Helmet and a Hawaian shirt clutching a Luger and an MP-40.  It was just embarrassing ,"Duke" (an appalling appropiation of an iconic American hero nickname) has made a fool of himself IMHO .  I much prefer the steely gaze of Billl Jordan in "No second Place Winner".  The above may explain why I've read "Singuns by Keith" about 10 times in 20 years.
