Viva la Space Pulp

I was invited to submit a story to a time-themed anthology and it's given me the opportunity to dust off an old space pulp character I created years ago. It's also got me excited about that genre, so you'll probably see more posts about that kind of thing for a while.

Blackstar



Over on the Perils of Planet X production blog, Chris Mills reminds me about Blackstar, a Saturday morning cartoon I enjoyed as a kid. It came out just as I was getting too old to ignore it's goofier aspects like the trobbits and the laser-blasting sword, but I still liked the heroic John Blackstar and his dragon-mount Warlock. It was no Thundarr the Barbarian, mind you, but it was entertaining.
