The voice of our generation has fallen.

General, prepare your troops for a surface attack.

Now they will know why they are afraid of the dark. Now they will learn why they fear the night.

So you see, my son, there is a very fine line between love and nausea.

Everything the light touches…is our kingdom

Fuck it. League lineup.

Sometimes I just need it... Do you hear? I NEED IT! For someone to adapt the story "Heart of a Dog" as a graphic novel in the style of "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen".

Just imagine this creepy and comical scene of Sharik the dog turning into a human during a month in LXG style.

OR THIS FUCKING SCENE!

What the hell is all this —

Heavily inspired by Alan Moore's comics, I want to create and make a potential video game or animated film or animated TV show called "The League Of Most Wanted" that brings together several characters of famous literature, mythology and even action cartoons of the 2000s and early 2010s.

Pulptober 2024, Themes Elaborated, Part Two. Days 6-10

Link to Part One

Once again, thanks to @maxwell-grant who once again helped me with assembling the lists of alternate examples. Characters who have a plus sign (+) next to their names were suggested by him. Characters with an asterisk (*) are ones where I have not consumed any source material (note that I'm including tie-in or revival media as source material).

6-Steve Canyon/Adventures In Exotic Places: This one is fairly self-explanatory, being stories about heroes who travel to places that are exotic to the average reader. Alts: Terry Lee and Co., Ben Quorn the Gunga Sahib*+, Allan Quatermain

7-The Phantom/Beyond Their Homeland: I will admit this one and the ones before and after kinda blend together. The idea was that these are characters who are associated in-universe primarily with countries other than those where they were created out-of-universe. Alts: Lupin III*, Blake and Mortimer, Blacksad.

8-Barbarella/Pulp From Around The World. This one is, basically, to celebrate Pulp Heroes from outside the Anglosphere, but thanks to @maxwell-grant I have examples of this in many categories. Alts: Mexican Fantomas*, Zigomar+*, Ogon Bat*

9- The Lone Ranger/Weapons of Justice: For some reason, it is A Thing that many Pulp Heroes have an signature, unique weapon. This day is for them. Alts: Heiji Zenigata*+, The Avenger, The Sandman

10-Dark Agnes/Iconoclastic Icons: These are characters who go drastically against social norms of the society they exist in, the society they were created in, or both, beyond the general genre conventions. This one is a bit twitchy, I will grant. Captain Tempesta*+, Raffles (if you go with the Headcanon that he's gay), Golden Amazon*

Hrrmph, bit disappointed with myself with this set.

Exploring H. Rider Haggard

Sir H. Rider Haggard (1856-1925) was born of a June 22. As a young man, the well connected Haggard had served in a succession of administrative and diplomatic posts in British colonial South Africa in the late 1870s and early 1880s. The experience, seasoned with his vivid imagination, fueled a literary career that consisted of dozens of published articles as well as 77 books, the majority of…
