Give me Michael Kamen's almost suffocatingly atmospheric main theme for The Dead Zone. Play it loud for maximum effect.

Cover looks like it might be by Gene Day.
I love how the cover's entire energy springs from the powerful figures and how you've positioned them. Good, clean, clear work.

Hence, thatβs your depiction of Khosatral Khel from The Devil in Iron?
Also, that you can work and work and work, then stop to take a breath and realize you've barely gotten started.
And there's no guarantee you'll finish it. Or, if you do, it'll be anywhere near as worthy as you want it to be. Or if anybody will ever read it.
Writing is a problematic exercise.
Scrolled for miles and didnβt see this one.

I enjoyed The Phantom Empire.
And will admit to watching Wizards of the Demon Sword.
Yeah. So many modern laptop critics loudly decry works because they can think of so many ways they themselves would have done it better.
If they actually did anything.
Just check out the directorβs 166 credits. Ranges gloriously from Baby Dolls Behind Bars to Abner, the Invisible Dog.

Battle Beyond the Stars?
And Fellini's Casanova?
What a unique double feature.
I got my copies of Swords & Larceny, too. I'm pretty sure I've appeared on more TOCs with you than anybody else. I like it.
