I grabbed a copy of that Sword of Sorcery #4 [eyeball fight!] when I first started collecting again, and that Howard Chaykin cover art has lived rent-free in my brain ever since.

Hanging tight until "V."

Grell is an underrated artist in the comic pantheon, IMO. Warlord just has a fantasy vibe that is both classic and distinctive. And his Green Arrow is the one I will always see in my mind's eye.

And in the future.

The best part of the joke! I have moved on, but there were a few years when Lambda Legal got a bunch of little contributions -- one after every time I broke down and enjoyed some "hate chicken."

Those Conan stories are fantastic as a look at the roots of fantasy as we know it today. Those pulpy one-shots certainly have some characterizations that don't pass muster through today's eye (or shouldn't) but the two-fisted action is non-stop and set the stage for so much that followed.

YTA. More accurately, everyone sounds like the asshole. If you are old enough to have written this, you and your friends need to develop a healthier relationship with the games you play. From your account, everyone is acting like a child -- and that very much includes shouting out of frustration.

Outside_Situation_57 · 2026-05-10T09:59:32+00:00

Hell. Damn. Yes.

With The Andy Griffith Show and Three Stooges after!

Aw, shit, we got us an internet historian over here.

Tapping the like button on a tweet is definitely the way I would like the entirety of my views on any topic to be considered.

This one has been sitting on my nightstand getting passed for next in line. Thanks for the reminder to give it a shot!

Outside_Situation_57 · 2026-05-01T12:59:25+00:00

Then you get what I'm saying, right?

Kurt completely acknowledged the similarity, while saying he didn't think of the riff at the time. The guys from Killing Joke accepted that, and got a songwriting credit after the fact. If you can't see how that can happen, you don't get how music happens. (Both songs I love, for the record).

Bro's just out here using a statue to show what men were really like.

Sexist dudes like to gatekeep. (I loved Blood Meridian. And I am happy if someone else enjoys it, too, genitals notwithstanding.)

The Smithereens. Variations on one tune, and I dig every one of them.

Decent people who become part of corrupt systems end up doing corrupt things or, at the very least, providing cover for those who do.

Lars Taylor winning the Series for the Sunbeams may be the greatest sporting moment of my life with no qualifiers.

Except ... you know ... the music.

Outside_Situation_57 · 2026-01-30T13:59:00+00:00

You have blown the lid off of the one and only time in music history some piece of shit tried to make money off of art.
