Het maatschappij-kritische verhaal Plof!SchrijfstijlDe fantasy-serie ‘Kronieken van Nieuwe Aarde’Dit epische werk van Broscie wordt gekenmerkt door zijn beeldende taal en suggestieve schrijftrant. Voor het oog van de lezer ontrolt zich het decor van de vertelling. Landschappen, klimatologische omstandigheden, flora en fauna, geuren en kleuren, nederzettingen en de bewoners ervan zijn als het ware uit te tekenen. Hij schetst de contouren en de lezer vult ze moeiteloos in. Zijn hoofdpersonen bestaan uit zowel mannen als vrouwen van diverse standen en leeftijden; daarbij geldt dat mannen en vrouwen gelijkwaardig zijn. Broscie schrijft geen fantasy met Orcs, Elven en Trollen, maar met zelfbedachte rassen op een nieuw geschapen wereld. Hij combineert omstandigheden die gevoelsmatig tegenstrijdig zijn. Zo worden samenlevingen beschreven waar uiterst primitieve transportmiddelen én geavanceerde communicatiemiddelen gemeengoed zijn.Nachtmerrie in het Park, Iezegrimmig, De demon in de spiegel, Het vervloekte goud van Atlantis, Plof!Jack schrijft regelmatig korte verhalen. Deze verhalen zijn veelal verrassend en grimmig van aard, en tonen de dark side van mensen. Een aantal verhalen zijn ook in het Engels gepubliceerd (Nightmare in Central Park, Berserkly).Goudtrein van Riese, Hellepoort van AtlantisRomantische SF thrillers met de avonturen van de geheimagenten Lasha Heyes en Mike Owen die de strijd aanbinden met Der Leiter en Doktor Teufele.

A bolt of lightning split the clouds.
In the distance, thunder ...
Frustrated Spencer throws the old comic across the room. The magazine hits – all pages fluttering through the air - the vase with tulips and petals are flying in all directions. Angrily he sweeps the stack of old comics from the table. Spiderman, the Hulk,
