The Archetypal Fantasy Novel


Enjoyed drawing him entirely not like how he's portrayed in The Films
Because being a Great and Noble Hero of your Grim People apparently means
you have to become Comic Relief. Boo. Boo.

Congratulations to Helen, who recognized yesterday's WTW, Red Sonja!

My bad for saying she was from the 30's Pulp. She wasn't.
She was retroactively forced into Marvel's rather-damn-good approximation of that world almost 50 years later.

Congratulations to Dr. Jen, who recognized yesterday's WTW, Meggan, from Marvel's Captain Britain!

(And if anyone's a fan of Moore / DeLano era Captain Britain,
may I highly, highly recommend Warren Ellis' Astonishing X-Men Xenogenesis,
which is basically a very, very Ellis Love Letter to 80's Marvel UK.
Issue 1 had exploding babies. Issue 2 had Doctor Freakin' Crocodile.
Issue 3... well... just go read it. Seriously.)

gets crushed under a big stone door.
Hilarity ensueth!

Which never happened.
Thank Brian Blessed.

Bonus Who's That What? Sunday 24th October


Identify The Character. Email me. Win a Picture.

The Rules

Due to lack of Definitive Winner, I'm keeping Friday's entry open until Monday.
Go on, get your gamer friends involved. Somehow.
C'mon. I mean, look at him. Look at his cool robot bits.

Also, today will be the final Bonus WTW for a while.
With 7 Prizes a week and only 5 slots to draw them in, I'm actually rapidly over-shooting myself.
I am currently unsure if I'm just going to draw 7 Days a week, or take weekends off, or continue doing Bonus weekends without Drawing Prizes. Whatever. That's next week.
You will be informed. By Space Telegram.

Congratulations to Helen, the world's slightly-creepy biggest fan of Jetfire / Skyfire from Transformers Generation 1, who was yesterday's WTW!
