So begins the opening story of issue #1, before narration is taken over by the magical helmet itself. Many more adventures await!

A new adventure begins! Goblins & Galaxies #1 mailed out a few days ago and will be arriving in your mailboxes throughout this week!

Happy Halloween! Celebrate with some dark and spooky tales from Goblins & Galaxies or our sister publication, Cosmic Horror Monthly.

Print copies of Goblins & Galaxies #1 are getting mailed out tomorrow! We have an incredible lineup for the autumn edition.

The original Evil Dead trilogy is one of the best watches for Halloween season, and there's something so deliciously absurd about Army of Darkness's radical departure from cabin in the woods zombie horror to medieval dark fantasy that it might be my favorite of the three.

A brand new episode of Cosmic Goblins is out now! This time we've featured the story Thornback Hall by LC von Hessen from the September issue of our sister publication, Cosmic Horror Monthly. Listen now wherever you get your podcasts!

Noriyoshi Ohrai did the poster art for seven different Godzilla films, but this one for Godzilla vs. Biollante has to be my favorite. It helps that the movie itself is criminally underrated. Biollante is one of the weirdest, goopiest monsters the big guy has ever battled.

Any fans of Bloodborne out there? It's a punishing game, but man, the dark fantasy cosmic horror setting is immaculate. We would love to read something that captures these vibes in literary form.

The cover for Goblins and Galaxies #1 is here! This issue features cover art by the wonderfully talented Jimmy Spence, as well as stories by @christinaladd.bsky.social , Alex Wolfgang, Olaitan Akano, Grace Quon, and more!

While you wait for the upcoming issue of Goblins & Galaxies, check out the brand new issue of CHM!

What science fiction and fantasy video games have you all been playing? I finally took the plunge into Metroid Dread and it is killer.

Any fans of Fire & Ice? It's worth watching for the visuals alone. Can't go wrong with Frank Frazetta and rotoscoping. Sword and sorcery is a tough genre to produce as a film without an endless budget, but there were some valiant attempts in the 80's.

Just picked up a few of the original Vampirella magazines from my local comic book store. I think this cover might be my favorite...

Episode 5 of Cosmic Goblins Podcast, featuring Tournament in Frow by Risk Hoskin, is available now! Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Youtube. https://bit.ly/4pBgeQk https://bit.ly/3IrD8IU

Everyone has their favorite depictions of Middle Earth, but for me, it's hard to beat John Howe's illustrations.

Dark fantasy season has arrived! Kicking things off with a movie that traumatized me as a child and now delights me as an adult. That tree scene is... something else.

Sometimes, goblin wizards and martian robots are what get you through the day.

We are done reading the first round of submissions, and let me tell you, there is some great stuff in there. Stay tuned for more information about issue #1 very soon!

To me, Ian Miller is one of the fantasy illustration GOATs. I just picked up his book, The Art of Ian Miller, and the art within is absolutely stunning.

Episode Four of Cosmic Goblins Podcast is out now! It features the story Just Visiting by Camden Rose from our sister magazine, Cosmic Horror Monthly. Search for it on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Youtube, and stay tuned for another story from Goblins & Galaxies later this month.

Any of you fantasy lovers fans of Tad Williams? I'm halfway through The Last King of Osten Ard and totally blown away by his storytelling. The stunning artwork by Michael Whelan doesn't hurt either!

The third episode of Cosmic Goblins features "Beyond Those Shadowed Hills" by M. Shedric Simpson, and it's out now! Available on Youtube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts. https://bit.ly/4lIfVQc...

We're honored to include the fantastical, fun, and deeply weird "A Lapwing Conquered Death" bu the talented Sarah Pauling in issue #0 of Goblins & Galaxies. Sarah's work has appeared in sci-fi and fantasy titans like Clarkesworld, Strange Horizons, and Escape Pod, and now it's here!

Michael Whelan recently turned 75. To celebrate, here's one of my favorite of his paintings, King of the Dead. You might know it as the cover for Michael Moorcock's The Bane of the Black Sword, one of his Elric books. This is exactly the kind of vibe we love here at Goblins & Galaxies.

Lord Dunsany is a titan of pulp fiction, so we just had to feature his tale, "The Loot of Bombasharna" as our very first "Unearthed" story. You can read it in issue #0 of Goblins & Galaxies here: https://bit.ly/4454Thk

BFFs? Siblings? Soul mates? Whatever you want to call it, us and CHM are pretty tight. Check out the latest issues of CHM here: https://bit.ly/46q0B39

Timaeus Bloom is a black author of speculative fiction from Alabama, and his deeply surreal and hilarious bug tale, "Bugmen and Proud Of It," is the penultimate story in issue #0 of Goblins & Galaxies, available here: https://bit.ly/4454Thk. @timaeusbloom.bsky.social

Goblins & Galaxies aims to capture that feeling people must have had when they picked up an issue of Weird Tales almost a hundred years ago. Or maybe when you picked up your first fantasy novel as a kid. Modern adult life got you down? Maybe you need some fantastical tales: https://bit.ly/44Waubl

If you're a fan of Cosmic Horror Monthly, you already know Patrick Barb. @patrickbarb.bsky.social He's been featured there numerous times, and now, he's graced the pages of Goblins & Galaxies with his sci-fi nightmare, "The Robot Babysitter Murders." Issue #0: https://bit.ly/4454Thk

You've read robot stories. You've read goblin stories. But Goblins & Galaxies challenges you to question, have you read any robot goblin stories?

Episode 2 of the Cosmic Goblins Podcast is out now! This one features the darkly hilarious tale "Bugmen and Proud of It!" by Timaeus Bloom. Check it out: Spotify: https://bit.ly/4mCKHew Youtube: https://bit.ly/4ljJrfe Search for it on Apple Podcasts too!

Look, all I'm saying is that Marvel has published a LOT of Conan stories, but I'm still waiting for his MCU adaptation. Maybe if we get enough G&G readers to write them a strongly worded letter...

Every issue of Goblins & Galaxies features a story "Unearthed" from the olden days of pulp fiction. Issue #0 features the classic "The Loot of Bombasharna" by Lord Dunsany. The issue can be found here: https://bit.ly/4454Thk

Virgil Finlay is a titan of sci-fi and fantasy illustration. Can you imagine making this with nothing but black ink? This is exactly the kind of vibes Goblins & Galaxies is going for in our sci-fi stories.

Rajiv Mote is a writer and software professional living in Chicago. He's also the author of the incredible "The Hexbreaker and The Rogue" from issue #0 of Goblins and Galaxies, available here: https://bit.ly/4454Thk @rajivmote.bsky.social

Here at Goblins & Galaxies, we love a good bug story, if you can't tell from Timaeus Bloom's "Bugmen and Proud of It." We also love the classic Warren magazines like Eerie. If you thought you could escape the alien terrors, I'm afraid I have bad news.

We have a podcast! Cosmic Goblins will feature adaptations of stories from both Goblins and Galaxies and our sister magazine, @[fb_Cosmic Horror Monthly:1277153109061824] . The first episode is out now: https://bit.ly/40yCGhZ

The legendary Metal Hurlant recently made a comeback, with work from new creators as well as classic artwork and stories from Moebius and Phillippe Druillet. Metal Hurlant is a sci-fi and fantasy titan, and I highly recommend this book to our readers. Cover art by Moebius.

Alex Langer is a Canadian Jewish writer and lawyer usually based in Brooklyn. He's also the author of the dark, surreal fantasy tale "We Few, We Happy Few," which opens issue #0 of Goblins and Galaxies. It can be found here: https://bit.ly/44Waubl @alexlanger1993.bsky.social‬

Genre legend Fritz Leiber coined the term "Sword and Sorcery" in conversation with Michael Moorcock, and Goblins & Galaxies still honors the tradition. Leiber might have called it "Heroes and Horrors" too. Here, one of those heroes fights a... fish lizard? Art by Tim Kirk.

We're used to seeing Conan as a hulking beefcake, but Margaret Brundage's original depiction of Conan was that of a.... pretty normal looking guy. Later artists like Boris Vallejo and Frank Frazetta made sure he was hitting his rep maxes and protein shakes.

102 years ago, this issue started it all. Who knew ooze could have so many tentacle?

Summer is the season of creepy crawlies. Just be grateful you aren't dealing with these... From issue #0 of Goblins and Galaxies, available now: https://bit.ly/4454Thk
