Doing a little REH research for a friend. This map of Kull's Thurian Age appeared in KULL THE CONQUEROR issue #2 in 1971. Marvel sent out advanced copies and got letters from E. Hoffman Price, Mike Resnick, John Jakes, and other S&S notables.

Decided to read this one while I had it handy. Haven't read it since 1975 or so, so don't remember much about it. heh. It ain't REH but pretty fun so far. Another great Jones cover.

Other Solomon Kane volumes. For the two Bantam editions, author Ramsey Campbell finished the incomplete REH stories, THE CASTLE OF THE DEVIL, HAWK OF BASTI, and THE CHILDREN OF ASSHUR.
The one fragment I'd lIke a go at is DEATH'S BLACK RIDERS.

Jeff Jones art. Perhaps the single finest image of Robert E. Howard's Solomon Kane ever painted.

Today's movie was a second viewing of @realgdt.bsky.social 's FRANKENSTEIN, this time on Netflix instead of at the theater, and I liked it even better the second time around. I think I can say now this is my favorite of GDT's movies. (Though Crimson Peak still ranks high) SO Gothic.

It is the Birthday of author Bram Stoker. To say that Stoker's work has been an influence on my own writing would be a vast understatement. Happy Birthday, Bram. Your novel Dracula will 'live' forever.

Happy Birthday to Jeremy Brett, who I liked so much as Sherlock Holmes, I see him when I read Doyle's stories now. When I was writing 'The Adventure of the Stone Men' I imagined Brett saying all my dialogue.

It is the Birthday of Steve Ditko, co-creator of Spider-Man and creator of Doctor Strange, The Creeper, Hawk & Dove, Mr. A. and many other iconic characters. I consider him one of the greatest cartoonists ever to work in comics.
