Farewell, Ron Ely
Farewell with so much admiration and gratitude to Ron Ely. As Ely was the only actor to play both Doc and Tarzan, I offer this small tribute of him in yet a third role…that of Doc Talos, in his thirties, circa 1933. I confess I’ve been surprised a little at how deeply the passing ofContinue reading “Farewell, Ron Ely”

Rickie Talos Pinup Sneak Peeks
Here’s an advance peek at my contribution to the pinups in the upcoming issue of Doc Talos Magazine. The Doc Talos stories take a more realistic approach to the classic Doc Savage characters, but interestingly, it is only post-pulp that Pat began to be depicted in the Bama-esque “Doc Savage costume”, so when creating imagesContinue reading “Rickie Talos Pinup Sneak Peeks”
Wrapping up “Madness”, the Talos pastiche retelling of H.P. Lovecraft’s “At the Mountains of Madness”
I wrapped up the writing today on “Madness”, the Doc Talos re-imagine of H.P. Lovecraft’s “At the Mountains of Madness”. A moment for letting out a deep breath…I usually write stories at a breakneck pace, but this one, literally, took decades to write. I was writing it back in 1977, as a sequel to MtsContinue reading “Wrapping up “Madness”, the Talos pastiche retelling of H.P. Lovecraft’s “At the Mountains of Madness””
