Got my copy of this amazing book of #frazetta’s horror paintings published by American Hero Collectibles over the weekend and it is fantastic! I got the slipcase, but there’s a hc and pb also. The giant trim size makes each page an art print worth framing and they’re even perforated for detachment.

Your monthly reminder: Keep writing. When no one cares, persist. When things appear to be crumbling, keep at it. When it's difficult, push through. When you feel alone, listen to the stories in your blood. Just write. The world needs your stories.

These are now arriving — have you ordered yet?

Here is something very cool and long overdue from the @siegelandshustersociety . Help us build a Superman statue in Cleveland! Make history and donate at: gofund.me/f1ee385e. The Siegel & Shuster Society need you. And if you donate over 10K, they’ll put your name on a brick

being an indie bookseller in the helltimes has felt both very stable and very stabilizing, and part of me wishes everyone could be on my side of the counter for a little while, because I think it would help some of you be a little less cynical and doomy right now. so here is my VERY anecdotal data:

When I worked on The Office, Greg Daniels had a list of questions he asked of every story. Some were show-specific (eg “Are we saying something truthful if exaggerated about office life?”), but many are applicable to any script. Here’s a little thread on them… 🧵1/X #Scriptsky #Screenwriting

I've been a fan of the classic plastic model kits made by Aurora since I was about five years old. The monsters, the spaceships, the superheroes--I made them all and blew many of them up with fireworks. Then I made them again. In about three weeks, I'll be debuting a two volume set of Aurora …

Four comic characters and the people who inspired the way they look: Lisa Lyon - Frank Miller's Elektra Jack Palance - Gene Colan's Dracula* Lainie Kazan - Jack Kirby's Big Barda Robert Middleton - John Romita's Kingpin *2 years before Palance played him.
