Treading the jewled thrones of the earth beneath his feet

by Matt Rossi

I live. And living, live to conquer!

Okay, not really. But after a really bad month, I seem to have found some of my equilibrium again, and in so doing, have regained a touch of my passion for writing: which is good, as I have a monthly column to keep up with as well as assorted other projects. As an aside, my long article about Superman has been published this week in The High Hat, a fun mag you should all check out.

As I crawl out of my depression, I find myself still interested in writing about the books I picked up before the nose-dive, books like Sleeper, Seaguy and The Filth. But next up, I think, we're going to be discussing Roy Thomas and Barry Windsor-Smith, because while working at the Norwescon convention this week, I picked up volumes 1 and 2 of Dark Horse Comics reprints of the old Marvel Conan series. Since I love REH's stories (and even did a panel on Sword and Sorcery for the con) I feel uniquely positioned to give those books a thorough looking at, and so I shall.

See you guys around, and it's good to be semi-back.
