Flying Aces, August 1939; #artwork by August Schomburg. Sadly, it wasn't long before we had the answer to the question posed on the cover: "Can Poland repulse the Nazis?".

Interesting profile of director James Cameron in the latest THR, but he's wrong to claim The Abyss (1989) is "outlawed" in the UK. There's a particular scene which was trimmed over here, involving the near-drowning of a rat (Cameron says he performed CPR, then adopted it), but... /continued #movies

Surprisingly, the first image of Superman flying appeared not in the US monthly Action Comics, but the 29 July 1939 issue of UK weekly The Triumph, via an ad promoting the following Tuesday's launch of weekly reprints. The cover and redrawn layouts were the work of Scots #comics #artist John McCall.

Presumably because the big studios hate low-grade IP-derived content... unless it's their own low-grade IP-derived content, which they get to (over)charge for. I do not approve of copyright breaches, but nor do I celebrate the braindead trash churned out by Disney, Warner Bros, etc. #movies #YouTube
YouTube has officially shut down multiple fake AI movie channels

Following on from my previous post, this garbage was penned by Deadline's Justin Kroll, who appears (a) not to have seen the original movie, seeing how Crown bears zero similarities to James Bond, (b) unaware Faye Dunaway joined the A-list with Bonnie and Clyde (1967), getting this role as a result.

Films that jangle in your head... Last night, I reacquainted myself with The Thomas Crown Affair (1968), for the first time in maybe forty years. Whilst undeniably finely-crafted eye candy, soft-centred around a pair of sexually alluring sociopaths, it's nonetheless hugely entertaining. #movies

Blind dates can be so hit and miss.

Perhaps the writers at Vogue have forgotten -- or aren't aware -- Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994) ends not with a "timeless wedding", but Hugh Grant dumping Kristin Scott Thomas at the aisle in order to pursue unwedded bliss with Andie MacDowell. Not exactly "romantic" for Kristin. #movies

Hard to believe now, but US publishers rejected Ian Fleming's titles for several of his James Bond novels. Casino Royale had already been adapted for television, under its original title, as a 1954 episode of Climax!, with Barry Nelson as an American Bond. #Artwork by Raymond Johnson, Lou Marchetti.

Current reading includes memoirs by Tom Selleck and Nigel Hawthorne, plus a profile of model Marli Renfro (best known as Janet Leigh's nude body double in Psycho). The latter two are tied into existing magazine commissions, whilst the first is part of a putative pitch.

Following up my recent posts of legendary #artist Frank Frazetta's covers for the Creepy, here's another example of his #artwork, plus the photograph of model Diane Webber he used as reference. She played mermaids on several occasions, including a 1967 episode of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.

'The Tavern at the End of Time' was a #comic strip I wrote for the British Science Fiction Association's newsletter Matrix, with artwork by my friend Kevin Clarke. This is clipped from an online copy of Matrix #39, published December 1981.
