loveforstitch - Does he fall in love? I like a little romance in all my movies.

Rekaert - Yes, he demonstrates it with bullets, punches and sentencing.

He's Mega City 1's own Don Juan.

A history of the Workhouses of Ireland by John O'Connor.  It's a topic I've had cause to dip into before, but sweet fecking jeebus, the shower of bastards.

Started Weathercraft, which I expect will take well to multiple readings. Also started Walt &

Is that the Jim Woodring GN?  Is it as good as it looks, and is Frank actually in it?

Started reading Inconstant Moon - a collection of Larry Niven's short stories - immediately after and so far it isn't. Most of the stories have a good central idea, but he doesn't seem able to deal with them either in enough depth or with sufficient storytelling verve to satisfy.
I think I've had it with this. Read one last night which surmised that living on Mars would make you "queer" and it would be okay for real men to kill you for making a pass at them. I know you shouldn't equate the writer with the character or the story, but there seemed to be no attempt to present this as unreasonable.

Started Le Guin's City of Illusions today instead. More trees.

I've just read Nevermore, an indie graphic novel anthology adaptation of 9 Edgar Allan Poe stories, published by SelfMadeHero in 2007.

It was an impressive little book. Six out of the nine stories have very polished scripts [...] The real highlight for me was The Oval Portrait, adapted by David Berner and Natalie Sandells. It reads like only the cream of the crop of strips published in a 1970s edition of House of Secrets, which, if you read a lot of them in series, is a very patchy read. David Berner's writing is fantastic, and Natalie's drawing style evokes a certain vintage, specifically DC's end of the eighties Wasteland horror anthology.
Hey, I've only belatedly stumbled upon this post by accident.  As the writer of the adaptation of The Oval Portrait, your kind words are very much appreciated.  Thank you!

Tonight I'll be reading The Chronicles Of Gengis Grimtoad by Alan Grant, John Wagner and Ian Gibson (You may of heard of them).
I've never read it before and just got it from Ebay for £2.64.
Dumb all over, a little ugly on the side.

Colin Zeal

I'm reading Beyond A Boundary by CLR James. Excellent read so far.

Albion, since fb has died for me, ill put it here.
ian gibson was sort-of wrong in his blog. The early eighties comic in which genghis grimtoad first appeared was called 'look alive', and debuted in september 1982. However, it was by alan grant and angus mcbride back then. Dont know how long it lasted, possibly only five issues.
I knew i was right!

Facebook went weird for me then too. Gibson's art looks awesome in this.
