"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Barry Windsor-Smith did a portfolio of five Conan characters back in '75. Here's a gorgeous rendition of the evil wizard Thoth Amon.

I want to live in that evil wizard city!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Also, via Feuillton, a lovely obit on Jeffrey Catherine Jones.

More on Jeff Jones involvement at The Studio (which included Jones, Barry Windsor-Smith, Berni Wrightson and Mike Kaluta).

I always loved his version of Red Sonja better than the later version with the chain mail bikini.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Shouldn't that be "her style"?

I've just (finally) finished reading Y: The Last Man, and I'm so very sad. Why can't any of my fiction make me happy, dammit?

Have movie talks stalled? Was it last with Shia LeBeef? I wish JGL hadn't aged out. He would have been my first choice. Zac Efron's a bit pretty, but I like him.
