Kevin Rubio wrote my favorite modern Star Wars comics, including Tag & Bink Are Dead, where you have two rebels who are a sort of Rosencrantz and Gguildenstern in the Star Wars Saga. He wrote the best Star Wars Tales stuff, particularly this bit, about the Death Star Plans....

Something odd that I stumbled across while on Letterboxd. It's a demoscene movie that was made entirely on an MSX-2 computer and then put on a Laserdisc all the audio is in English too

Finally gotten around to giving my copy of The Cornelius Quartet a proper read through and have been deep diving into Moorcock related things. The Library Ladder's coverage of Moorcock's multiverse looks promising

I'm actually going to be starting a re-read of most of Moorcock's work. So neat. I remember discovering one of the comic book adaptations of Elric from the 80's written by Roy Thomas and illustrated by Craig P. Russell, was really drawn to it and wanted more. Then I discovered that it was a long running novel series. Didn't own a copy unfortunately until a few years ago and it happened to be the one that I wanted the most, purely for the cover art
I actually bought The Cornelius Quartet (Avon Publishing edition) first because of how hard it was to find digital editions of it at the time and because of how much I loved the premise of sci-fi story featuring an english spy Something that caught my attention while reading "The Final Programme" is when Jerry is thumbing through the various newspapers (of course while eating Mars Bars and drinking coffee), the book comments on how increasingly the papers are just publishing photos in lieu of words
Also after watching the Library Ladder's reviews, I'm kind of interested in getting into the Hawkmoon series

The Elric books were ubiquitous when I was in junior high and high school in the early and mid 80s. Absolutely everyone was reading them. I have that book (probably in storage). It's the first volume of the two volume Elric omnibuses from the Science Fiction Book Club. On the other hand, there were only a few of us who went very far beyond Elric. I've read the vast majority of Moorcock's work, but it's been well over thirty years ago for most of it. The exception is Behold the Man, which I read every two or three years. It is easily in the top ten books that formed who I am today.
