I'm afraid it's nearly the only Clark Ashton Smith story I know WELL, so I was able to spot that.Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09603892208775996594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-5336105655120671932017-06-15T09:10:29.949-05:002017-06-15T09:10:29.949-05:00Thanks for the comments -- got a few coming up nex...Thanks for the comments -- got a few coming up next from THE UNSEEN --stay tombed!!Mr. Karswellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15889717828895556186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-19319076610198618432017-06-13T00:48:13.370-05:002017-06-13T00:48:13.370-05:00It's cool how that turban is floating over Joh...It's cool how that turban is floating over John's head in the splash for <i>the Sorcerer</i>. But nothing ever beats people jumping around in a skeleton suit, so for me that's the clear winner here. I just wish they'd bothered to imagine more of that Halloween show in the story, before whatsisface pumped the lead full of lead.Mr. Cavinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01634994342702518448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-79543954851409442652017-06-11T17:36:20.999-05:002017-06-11T17:36:20.999-05:00There's some fun bits here and there, but boy ...There's some fun bits here and there, but boy are these stories wordy, and full of weird, un-used elements (dark dancer: why the love triangle? Why didn't they just go for a drive before the show and crash? Yes, he was drinking, but it really doesn't add anything, he could have been drinking, or it could have just been an accident.)<br /><br />I like Fass' cover. It's not rendered well but it's just jammed packed with elements, and a bit of Feldstein in there. It'd be an eye catching cover on the newsstands.<br /><br />Thanks for another complete issue!Brian Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15737535617796413548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-49291658465687499092017-06-09T18:34:45.362-05:002017-06-09T18:34:45.362-05:00Curiously, the first story has bits reminiscent of...Curiously, the first story has bits reminiscent of Clark Ashton Smith's "Return of the Sorceror", though it's definitely *not* an adaptation of that story.Nequamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225401111413524858noreply@blogger.com
