THE HYBORIAN AGE ON ANOTHER PLANET? JOHN CARTER MEETS CONAN?

PIC INFO: Spotlight on pin-up art of a long lost and/or would-be Marvel Comics character, Talon, a barbarian-like character from another world, an alien planet, created by Jim Steranko. Artwork by Bruce Timm for his art book "Naughty and Nice: The Good Girl Art of Bruce Timm" (2001). FLESK Publications.

"The back-room legend goes that Jim Steranko created a barbarian character named Talon for a series pitch to Stan Lee when both were at Marvel. Stan passed on the series, which Steranko continued to play around with over the next few years but never published anywhere. In the meanwhile, the legend continues that Stan liked the idea of a Barbarian comic for Marvel, just not this one, and that led to licensing the "Conan the Barbarian" property."

This place makes pilgrims of us all. When you return to the embrace of its reliquary, what it takes back was never yours to begin with.

SNOWY & STARRY -- ALIEN LANDSCAPES OF THE SUPER-SEVENTIES.

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on two pieces by British sci-fi artist/illustrator, David A. Hardy, from his "Portals" series. The first piece was a commissioned painting by a HAWKWIND fan based on the original back cover sleeve art – but in a winter season, and chosen by Hardy. The second is the original 1974 LP illustration.

TOP PIECE: "The sun's light now comes from behind us, illuminating the mountain and giving the moon a phase close to full, its dark side still silhouetted against the background stars. The planet is at the edge of the globular cluster, so as we look towards the centre there are thousands of bright stars visible, but behind us the sky is dark It is 40 years later, and the trees have grown, as has the city." Atelier Acrylics, 20 x 20in (50 x 50cm).

BOTTOM: "When Hawkwind visited Hardy's home (before a gig at the Birmingham Odeon) to discuss a record cover, their manager Douglas Smith saw the original version of Hardy's globular cluster for "Challenge of the Stars," and asked if it could be used. Because it was in portrait format Hardy said he would have to repaint it, square, but that was no problem. So this became the back cover for "Hall of the Mountain Grill" (1974) – regarded by many fans as one of their best albums." (Acrylics.)
