Cheers for the heads-up! Auto-preorder! :D It's about damn time Saunders got his due.

Cheers! Thanks for the kind words, chaps.

“Torches flared murkily on the revels in the Maul, where the thieves of the east held carnival by night…”

Getting my New Edge on in Montmartre, Paris…

Out November 12, 2025, Hellboy and the B.P.R.D.: The Ghost Ships of Labrador #1 (of 2) We have a cool variant cover from Matt Smith too.

Back then, I watched a lot of his stuff on 35mm at the BFI. I was focused mainly on his fairy tale/fantasy work, but they didn't have many of his films at all as I recall. Terribly sad. He was the father of both special effects and fantasy cinema.

Wrote a chapter on Melies for my movie book. (Flicking through it right now...) At the time of his death he'd amassed over 500 shorts - less than 40% have survived. Melies destroyed many of them himself, the rest were either confiscated by the Nazis or melted down to make boot heels for the army. :(

Still got my copy, though it's falling to pieces. That shark-toothed manticore used to haunt my dreams. :D
