Idea 4 my Substack: substack.com/@billcunning... : If one were an #indiefilm #entrepreneur, they could create an @unrealengine.bsky.social #movie for this property. An #animated #film production with the wonder and adventure of #spaceexploration. #MajorMattMason #Toys

I think this is a great piece by Ron and would make a great RPG Manual cover or some such thing. If you publish #rpgs then please contact Ron. The man is 90 and he's still painting pieces like this.

Two of my early #comic collections from my Pulp 2.0 label. Vol.1 is a Twilight Avenger #serial in 4 chapters. Vol.2 is 4 Twilight Avenger #B-movies. John Wooley & Terry Tidwell created this wonderful #cinema inspired #adventure comic that I sought because I ❤️ it. A 3rd volume is on the boards.
