I’ve been meaning to read these, as I’ve read he inspired Flashman and Ffellowes.

I understand why Conan had to change clothes, but this reminded me of Thomas telling Gulacy & Moench to put Shang “back into his pajamas.”

@superamanda.bsky.social my love, see @patrickzircher.bsky.social make me literally LOL. She killed giant crustacean, but it collapsed on her, setting up this.

Patch, great character work in the expressions. You draw my favorite post-BWS #Conan, suggesting Adams & Kane instead of Buscema.

@patrickzircher.bsky.social belatedly loving your great #RedNails sequel in #SavageSwordOfConan #9. Thanks for smart & funny Conan/Valeria & giving them comfortable looking pants. Is the crab a Harryhausen homage? Bottom panel looks very Gil Kane w. Crusty Bunkers inking.

In #CourageOfLassie, the unrelated next film in the series, Pal plays Bill, a collie raised in the US by a different Liz Taylor. Bill becomes a war dog in that one, too, comes home with PTSD & kills sheep. Young Liz has to rehabilitate him.

Not making that up.

I remember how annoyed a friend was by the inking on their pencils for an acclaimed 90s comic written by a former friend. I recall thinking how much better those pencils would’ve looked inked by my 70s faves Adkins or Giordano.

Just go 'all in' on the Escape From New York reboot and cast Wyatt Russell as Snake.

Welp, there’s a block. Not for the opinion, but the Beavis & Butthead way it’s expressed.

I have no idea why those blank images are there. I did not attach anything.

I’m fine with Ten Little Indians, as that distinguishes Christie’s uncompromisingly bleak novel from her play And Then There Were None, but I don’t want the 1939 Collins Crime Club title restored.

Me too, mostly, but it can go too far. I understand why my late sometimes-friend Karl Wagner restored an oblique reference to a statue’s huge genitals removed by de Camp, but “restoring” the Weird Tales typos to Hour of the Dragon was silly.

Agreed, although removing
or controversial passages is older than many realize. De Camp altered REH passages in 1953. Laura Ingles Wilder’s “No people, only Indians” became “No settlers” in 1957.

Despite sounding exactly like Christopher Lee, the Red Death is RSC & BBC actor John Westbrook, who later voiced Treebeard in Bakshi’s LOTR. Wonder if Roger told him to imitate Lee.

#Artemis II astronaut Reid Wiseman’s wife Carroll was taken by cancer a few years ago. Just now, as the crew broke the record for furthest human journey from Earth, he asked for a lunar feature to be named after her. The crew gave him a zero-g group hug and honestly I’m getting a bit emotional here.

My favorite DAW novel, as well as first time I recall seeing a Whelan cover.

Great protagonist, great villain, great cat.

Cover kinda accurate, but no hint of Slavic flavor Lee gives this fantasy.

@SuperAmanda.bsky.social, one for us, love.
