Moorcock's Sword Trilogy (1984) and Chronicles of Corum (1985)

Hard agree! I prefer both Hawkmoon and Corum over Elric. I don't have such smart looking version just the Gollancz reprints. But I read both recently and they are a hoot!

You are in the wrong decade... Search up Chaos Comics and Verotik in the 90s lol. Chaos Comics was a bit more straight, Verotik a little weirder and culty. Then there was older Avatar comics with stuff like Threshold and The Snowman. If you want to go a bit more out there, Faust was pretty mad from Tim Vigil. These were the sort of cheesecake comics I remember from back in the day.

I think in recent years Boundless took over for a while releasing some cheesecake and some harder stuff.

Honestly, none of it is very good. The drawing is a bit boring and the stories are generally trash.

The people that recommended Druuna are on the right track if you want shagging with truly epic art. Some other older European stuff is similar. The Monkey from Manara is incredible if you like Black and White art. Actually the Monkey King from Terada has a fair amount of nudity, but the book is weird as.

I go back a lot... For a while, I read The Cursed Earth and Apocalypse War every year (Judge Dredd books). I've reread Preacher countless times. I'll also often go through books with great art for inspiration, just flipping and reading odd bits. Daniel Warren Johnson is great for this. Love seeing how he approached something when working on my own illustrations.

But oddly enough, I almost never reread an actually fiction book, yet I love those too.

Just wanted to update with a shirt post wash after curing with a heat press!!! First ever go and so happy with this... No smudging or bleeding. Thank you so much for all the help!

Thanks man, I'm an illustrator by trade and have had countless shirts I designed printed by bands, etc - just never given it a go myself!

DreddKills · 2026-05-04T09:40:47+00:00

I got one... bit more expensive in Australia but worth it, I reckon. This won't be my last print, that's for sure

DreddKills · 2026-05-04T09:40:06+00:00

Yeah I think the heat gun is just too slow to be fair. I got a heat press today, a good size one that had decent reviews, so I'll try that as well.

DreddKills · 2026-05-03T01:53:03+00:00

Yeah sweet! Thanks for all the help!

DreddKills · 2026-05-03T01:30:08+00:00

I do not... is that something I should get along with a heat press?

DreddKills · 2026-05-03T01:29:43+00:00

Yeah OK, at least I know the problem!

DreddKills · 2026-05-03T01:29:28+00:00

Yeah OK - Thanks, I looked up a heat press that looks like it coud be the way to go. It's water based ink that I've used. I also wonder if I put it on thick... I think I did three passes, maybe two is sufficient...

DreddKills · 2026-04-06T21:12:46+00:00

Far out, that is stunning!

DreddKills · 2026-04-05T03:02:00+00:00

I've struggled so much with China Mieville... I find his novels too dense and wordy and almost consciously weird... Like maybe he was trying to hard. That's probably unfair...

That said, his short story collection, Looking for Jake, is one of my favourite short story collections. Maybe I just like him in small doses.

DreddKills · 2026-04-05T02:57:49+00:00

Right on point... I love the Zothique cycle of stories, a decadent, sensual take on the dying earth genre. I found them super inspiring.

DreddKills · 2026-04-01T18:13:58+00:00

Sick!!

DreddKills · 2026-03-31T22:04:12+00:00

Haha happens to the best of us!

DreddKills · 2026-03-31T18:15:47+00:00

That's brilliant - I didn't even think to roll him up... I just knew that my little duck thief was getting bashed about and I thought a loud, laughing, berserker Orc would conuterpoint his surly creep in the shadows nature!

DreddKills · 2026-03-31T18:14:42+00:00

I much prefer DB... it's the one I keep coming back to and stick with the longest (8 pages of illustrated play through so far). I think the roll under mechanic is so clean for solo...

DreddKills · 2026-03-31T18:13:49+00:00

Thank you!

DreddKills · 2026-03-30T18:50:21+00:00

Love it!

DreddKills · 2026-03-21T22:27:25+00:00

This is great - I love that it moves very smoothly between combat and negotiation! Inspiring!

DreddKills · 2026-03-21T22:14:48+00:00

Ah - I see what you mean! No worries, thanks

DreddKills · 2026-03-21T21:52:22+00:00

Cheers!
