In this panel drawn by Jack Kirby, a desperate looking man shouts "I...need a marijuana! I gotta have a reefer!" Three men are standing around him and one says "Talk first! Start talking!"

That feeling, right after reading a great book...

A low angle shot of the Late Victorian League on a quayside. In the background a submarine - Nemo’s Nautilus- looms into sight from the waters hidden by the quayside. Left to right, we’re shown Mr Hyde, Cpt Nemo, Mina Murray, Allan Quatermain, and Hawley Griffin the Invisible Man. They are clearly ready for trouble.

An absolutely splendid depiction by John McCrea & Gerhard of Alan Moore & Kevin O’Neill’s League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen. (Also, a top-notch sea-gull at stage-right.)

Federal judge unloads on ‘unserious’ RFK Jr., says anti-trans policy showed his ‘cruelty’ Judge Mustafa T. Kasubhai vacated the “Kennedy Declaration,” finding it unlawfully attempted to override medical standards and restrict care for transgender youth.

"Secretary Kennedy’s unlawful declaration harmed children,” the Judge wrote.

“This case highlights a leader’s unserious regard for the rule of law...

“Unserious leaders are unsafe."

Latest read (audio), Erewhon (1872) by Samuel Butler; a foundational book of speculative fiction with an emphasis on Speculative. In the land of Erewhon ('Nowhere' backwards), an Englishman encounters a peculiar society & examines its ways philosophically (covertly satirizing Victorians).

The Tough Guide to Fantasyland (1996) by Diana Wynne Jones; not a "latest read" in the regular sense but I found myself looking through it again tonight-- for about the 90th time.
It's 300 pages of alphabetically arranged tropes-- poking fun at fantasy story conventions.

Oh my. Gene Wolfe was a great writer. This series is utterly staggering. The reader's understanding needs to revise itself over and over again.

Latest read (audio), The House of Cthulhu (1973) by Brian Lumley; Lumley's approach to Lovecraftian tales was influenced by Clark Ashton Smith, Lord Dunsany, A. Merritt, and Jack Vance.
Other worlds, lost tribes and temples, antiquarians and wizards.
In other words, I Love it.

Wit, unker, git: The lost medieval pronouns of English intimacy Tales of love and adventure from 1,000 years ago reveal a dazzling range of now-extinct English pronouns. They capture something unique about how people once thought about "two-ness".

The map from the Solomon Kane: The Serpent Ring series.
This appears in individual issues with a story synopsis (The Puritan's Path) in the lower left.

Working on a new map this weekend for The Lion Errant.

London in the darkness of the blackout, perhaps just as the first rays of morning appear. A narrow road runs from middle left to the bottom right, increasing in size as it progresses. Right where our sight of the road begins, placed at the very edge of the frame, is a cart, presumably horse drawn. Buildings in the shot are all silhouettes. A street light to the left is telling unlit.

A deserted street in Bloomsbury, London, 1942, during the World War II blackout, by the genius that was Bill Brandt.

Indeed. Marie always looked like Marie.

Strange Tales 154 (1966). Cover art by Marie Severin and Sam Rosen. Marie was a 5 tool comic book artist. And deserves so much more acclaim than she gets.

Indeed.

A sketch during a D&D game stuck with me and I played with it for an Inktober drawing.
I think it was inspired by the bug scene in Jackson's KING KONG, boobs, and Lovecraft.
