Is there anything more 60s than this gorgeous Nick Fury, Agent of SHIELD cover? Jim Steranko, Pop-Art genius.

Wonderful old photo of Cybermen in the 60s outside Ealing studios. Guessing they are waiting for the 65 bus. I’m guessing during the filming of Moonbase sequences. Love the pointy fingers.

Russian pop-up books. Let’s teach those kids about tanks and missiles. From St. Petersburg, 10 Years ago.

Residents and lovers of Brighton, please attend. Two views of the Brighton Chain Pier from the 1800s, on show at the splendid Constable and Turner exhibition @ Tate Britain.

Cover by Matt Baker.

JMW Turner’s fan art for The Horror of Fang Rock. Who knew? Turner and Constable at Tate Britain. Not sure that I’ve ever enjoyed an exhibition more than this.

Continually impressed by Stephen's commitment to dressing like my 6 Million Dollar Man action figure.

Charles E. Martin’s cover for March 24th 1975. I don’t know. Sometimes I still get completely baffled about who & what the culture lauds as Brilliant & Gallery-Worthy. Not because of what’s in the canon, but because of what’s not. Whatever. This takes my breath away.

23/1/26 Here's the Art Nouveau staircase and landing in the ‘Hotel’ Tassel, a townhouse in Brussels designed by architect Victor Horta in 1893 stylebyemilyhenderson.com/blog/art-nou...

The Shadow magazine, cover dated January 15, 1933. Art by George Rozen.

Damn Germany!!! Careful with those burns. He's American, he has no way to treat them... 🤣

“What was your #ChildhoodCinema?” Muswell Hill Odeon in the 60s and 70s! Memories: falling onto the floor with laughter with my dad watching The Producers in an otherwise empty cinema; seeing a moon buggy in my first Bond; being entranced by Fantasia while the rest of my school said “It’s boring!”

Go and see Hamnet! It’s not an easy ride - I’ve never cried so much at a film. But it’s beautifully made and the performances are deeply moving. Unexpectedly, it has the best portrayal of the ghost of Hamlet’s father I’ve ever seen: not as an angry revengeful spirit but as a symbol of grief.

No one ever drew Christmas, Winter or Sussex better than Raymond Briggs. His work is so bittersweet, celebrating the ordinary person, family life and suburbia, yet oh so melancholy. He taught my dad at Brighton Art College and my father never stopped admiring his work.

Santa, by the genius that was Bernie Wrightson

As terrifying as the Hound of the Baskervilles, only with more fluff. All she wants for Christmas is a sausage.

Good Day! A Moonlit Winter Landscape by Remigius Adrianus van Haanen, Date unknown Oil on Canvas (Private Collection)

A splendid cover by Brian Bolland for April 7th 1993’s Time Out, dangerous Dinosaurs being in vogue due to the hype for the upcoming release of “Jurassic Park”.

Classic Japanese images of Winter: ethereal beauty and technical precision. The first, with the eagle, is by Hiroshige I believe. Apologies, can’t credit the next two.

Winter Solstice - random images. Love this day, can’t explain why. Genetic memory of pagan times? Remnants of Sun, Moon, Star worship? Seems oddly spiritual. 🤷‍♂️

Marley and the ghosts of Christmas present and future. The best Christmas story ever written inspired some beautiful illustrations.

Antique Toyshop, Copenhagen. Treading that fine line between charming and disturbing, which seems to be the natural Twilight Zone for old toys. Perhaps the shop is run by the Celestial Toymaker…

Rather sweet. Old phone boxes become Story Museums, Oxford. All very Oliver Postgate and Bagpuss.

Winter, outside looking in. Milton Caniff’s the first one - apologies after that. Random saved pictures that I like but I’m unaware of the artists.

This is just…jaw dropping. Literally awesome.

Herge’s adventures of Christmas (and a Happy New Year). Tintin!

What Josh said. Obscene, frankly.

Herge does a Christmas night like no one else

James Acaster goes mad on live tv and takes on a polar bear. The true spirit of Christmas!

From the early years of this decade, just a few of Jon McNaught’s wonderful covers for the London Review Of Books.

Now that’s what I call Christmas decorations. House (hotel?) near Portobello Rd, possibly occupied by the Childcatcher.

Love my Gerry Anderson snow scenes. Very festive.

Gerry Anderson at Christmas.

Gerry Anderson at Christmas.

Amen

Japanese art - assorted beautiful winter images

Best Christmas decorations for geeks ever? Apologies, wish I could credit the person who took this photo or put up the lovely decorations. Thunderbird 3 and tinsel, a perfect match. Who knew?

Love my Gerry Anderson snow scenes. Very festive.

Beautifully stylised Radio Times Christmas issue covers.

Beautiful if unsettling and melancholic place. Which Doctor Who story used this as a brilliant location?

Wise words from a fisherman in Hastings, old town. Beautiful, atmospheric place.
