Campfire Comics has done a fine job with this adaptation ofthe Jack London novel. My focus here is on the graphic novel and not to give mythoughts on Jack London’s fine work. The story’s “wordsmith” is Lloyd S. Wagnerwith a strong illustration job by Sachin Nagar. I enjoyed all the informationthey crammed into the graphic novel including the biography on Jack London onpage 3. I continue to be educated and entertained by Campfire Comics and I loveit. Here is a synopsis of…

Tate takes her readers back to the gilded times of William Randolph Hearst, Charlie Chaplin, Marion Davis and Gloria Swanson.…

“A captivating story about a political & scientific intrigue with an unusual love triangle, all connected by the fate of Jerusalem. The author brings us to a central question about human nature: what are the deepest motives that guide and drive our behaviors and commitments? Recognition, empathy, vengeance, narcissism or guilt...

“A captivating story. So well written that the images inhabit…

For reasons upon which I decline to elaborate, one of my FB friends has posted the song 'Purple People Eater'.  I didn't listen to all of it.  I do recall the lyrics that he came to to Earth and 'he lit in a tree'.  My older brother used to sing, 'he shit in a tree'.  Me, being an impressionable little cherub at the times (as opposed to the cynical old shit I have become) thought those were the actual lyrics.  Oh blimey, now I'm feeling five years old again, all long braids.  Enough of the…
