I absolutely adore that book. I got it when it came out and I still revisit it from time to time all these years later.

The reason gullible people believe all protesters are paid is because they can't conceive of anyone giving a shit about anyone other than themselves.

Awesome. I'm a sucker for those kind of details and recurring Grimoires in stories.

I'm a Kubert collector & I stumbled across it going through GCD & I was immediately fascinated but didn't think I would ever find one. Fast forward to the early days of shelter in place & I was playing on ebay typing in random books of interest & I found one at a price I liked & pulled the trigger

Top Shelf Friday time

What's a comic in your collection that you think deserves to be on that top shelf? Whether its a key, rare, or just one you love.

Son of Sinbad 1 Joe Kubert adventure comic with a Feb 1950 cover date. Everything here screams fun comics.

Latest read-finished my 2nd Lovecraft adaptation by Gou Tanabe this month, The Shadow Over Innsmouth. This perfectly captures the feel and town of HPL, and the pacing of this massive (442 pp) book allows the tension to build slowly and payoff in the end.

Today's mail call: the last Marvel Conan OGN I needed, Conan the Rogue, but Thomas/Buscema, one of the Frazetta series Conan covers I needed, and a Jonah Hex from the weekly dollar bin sale.

Mike @mrpsmissives.bsky.social · 3d

25 was amazing & I look forward to the next 25, but still hope, if you still feel you have stories left to tell after that, that 50 is not the end. Your Conan has become appointment comics & your run is a ride or die title for me. But I understand 4-5 years is a long time on a title in this market.
