"O cabelo ruivo era curto, por cima de uma cabeça alta e desafiadora, e o brilho amarelo de seus olhos tinha a fúria de metal em chamas." - Jirel de Joiry
#jirelofjoiry #clmoore #swordandsorcery
Conan o Cimério, um homem musculoso, semi-nu, de pele bronzeada, com uma expressão agressiva, cabelos negros empunhando uma espada em cima de uma pilha de corpos. E com uma mulher semi-nua de pele branca e cabelos escuros agarrada em sua perna.
Elric de Melniboné. Um homem de pele branca, cabelos brancos, armadura e capa negra, empunhando uma espada negra, com uma expressão indiferente no rosto, com uma pilha de corpos em sua frente e dragões no fundo.
Jirel de Joiry. Uma mulher de pele clara, cabelos vermelhos curtos, olhos amarelos, um vestido branco, botas pretas, montada em um alce branco, empunhando uma espada com sua mão ensanguentada e com uma expessão séria no rosto.
Um beijo para heróis clássicos de Espada e Feitiçaria. São um dos meus gêneros favoritos.

If you're not familiar with Moore, do yourself a great favor and seek out both her stories and her collaborations with her husband, Henry Kuttner, who is also an icon of the Golden Age of Genre Fiction.
It will be time well spent!

C. L. (Catherine Lucille) Moore (1911–1987) was a breakout star author with her first professional sale in Weird Tales, "Shambleau" and continued to innovate the genre with the tales of Jirel of Joiry, the dark swordswomen who stands along with Robert E Howard's Conan the Barbarian and Fritz Lieber's Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser as icons of sword-and-sorcery. Moore's tales of the roguish and self-serving Northwest Smith set the bar for cynical antiheroes who were quick with a blaster and quicker to find the selves in circumstances that tested their morality, becoming the template for many rebels of the space ways, most famously Han Solo.
Today we remember C. L. Moore, one of the pillars of modern science fiction, weird horror, and fantasy!

A digital illustration of Jirel of Joiry fighting her way out of Black God's Hell. She is squinting her eyes painfully, while swinging her sword blindly and cutting at unseen creatures out of the frame. The text is citing a passage from Black God's Kiss.

Jirel is glaring at Pav while he is confidently leaning towards her. He has a smug look on his face, while she is holding an arm in front of her for protection.
Jirel is being intimidated by the white witch, who is mocking her, pointing her skeletal finger at her.
The dark land illustrations.
I love C. L. Moore's worldbuilding a lot. She knows how to set an atmosphere of dread and terror without being overly explicit.

Jirel is kneeling down, her face hidden by her hair. She is lamenting the death of her archenemy, Guillaume. The text on the right of the illustration is quoting the end of the Black God's kiss story.
Jirel is facing to the right, launching herself in a fit of fury, ready to swing her sword. Her face is contorted with fury. The text on the illustration is framing Jirel, describing her appearance and personality.
Jirel is standing, slightly leaning forward in a confident, defiant pose. Her cape is floating around her, as is her hair. She is wearing a mix of ancient and medieval armor. The text bubble is quoting 'The Blazing Lioness.'
