THE KNIGHT AND THE SLAYER: An Ultimate Spin Prequel
Black Knight’s Office
Unknown Location
1 Year After The Worldwide Curing
Black Knight: What’s the status on the intruder?
Black Pawn: We don’t know! This thing… it’s not a…
Gunfire, screams, and static came through the radio with the Pawn trying to explain whilst fighting for his life.
Black Knight pressed the button on her conference speaker.
Black Knight: It’s not a what? Damnit tell me!!
Black Pawn: IT’S NOT AN EVO!! Oh god. No don’t! Aaaauuuughhh!!!
The door was broken down as the Black Pawn she was talking to landed at the front of her desk, with an agape wound from his chest.  She saw the silhouette of the thing… no not a thing as she saw the insect like arms folded retracting into its back all the features of this creature faded and shifted into the silhouette of a human man. The person walked out of the shadows to reveal a man with a fine cut beard and mullet-like long hair with a suit she never seen before with a spider-like symbol engraving the chest area and some kind of touch pad on his left arm.
???: You should insist on better guards.
Black Knight pulled out her sword build and armor without her helmet.
Black Knight: And you should insist on better manners. Who are you?
???: Let’s just say I’m a certain individual who is taking an interest in you.
Black Knight: And what interests would that be?
???: We both want the same thing. To heal the world. To better it. To make it in our own image for a brighter and better tomorrow. 
Black Knight: How does your agenda align with ours? What does your plans have to do with the Consortium?
???: I wasn’t interested in the rest of your entourage. No you and only you knows what it’s like same as I to be brought down to lowest of levels. We both know what it’s like for others in power to turn their backs on us and what we would bring, to have the means to achieve it only to have it snatched away multiple times by meddlesome pests and traitors and fools! You still have a way. Many ways to take it back. I can give you the means to do so but to do it is to look elsewhere. Not out there in the wider world, or in space, but in other dimensions. Parallel Universes.
Black Knight: We already have the means to travel other dimensions. We have a second dimensional portal under construction. Why would we need you for it?
???: You’ve only scratched the surface. What I’m offering is something 10 times beyond your wildest dreams.
The man reaches into his pocket and reveals some type of flash stick.
???: May I?
Black Knight rolls her eyes.
Black Knight: Sure. By all means.
The man plugs in the drive into her computer showing things she has never seen or ever even dreamt of.
Black Knight: Incredible.
???: I’m offering more than just that. I will give you more powerful force that matches Providence  nearly almost in every way but without their flaws. More tech, more weaponry, everything you and your Consortium will ever need including to expand your research. But that’s not all.
The man pulls up on her computer a set of schematics and plans from his drive.
???: what we require to build this will be using my tech and yours and the brilliant minds to do so from both my universe and yours. For my part and to ensure Providence and our enemies don’t get in our way I know of a few individuals who could help us. Willingly or otherwise. 12 of these people you don’t know but there are 5 you do.
He opens file and brings up a list of people and names familiar and unfamiliar to her.

???: So, Black Knight…
He raises his hand out to offer her a handshake then her speaker chimed.
???: Do you accept my offer?
Black Pawn Captain (on radio): Black Knight, we’re in route to you now. Men, the intruder is to be shot on sight.
Black Knight pressed the button on the speaker.
Black Knight: Negative, Captain. Stand down. We will be attending a guest and a possible business partner.
She reaches out her right hand and both shake their hands in agreement.
Black Knight: It will be a pleasure doing business with you, Mr.
Alistair: Smythe. Dr. Alistair Smythe

And the Lord said, "I have seen my people in bondage, and I have heard their cry. I know their sorrows. And I am come to deliver them from the hand of evil men, and to lead my people out of that sorrowful place to a land flowing with milk and honey."

Paige Pottery took over what was originally the Amos Osborn establishment at 106 Central Street in 1872.  Moses B. Paige was born in Winthrop and came to work at what was then the Joseph Reed pottery.  Four years later he bought it from Reed.  After his death, it continued to carry the Paige name and was the last existing pottery in Peabody.  It was destroyed by fire in the 1950's.

12 35
no kiss  very fine morning F70° at 10 am - note from Benjamin Brodie to say he would call from 4 ½ to 5 this afternoon - breakfast at 10 ¼ - out at 11 ¼ - drove to the central national school Westminster - Mr Johnson not there and had not been there this morning - agreed with the head mistress for A- to go tomorrow at 9am and stay till 12 - then to the temporary house of parliament - house of Lords a nice comfortable not large-looking room will hold 300 peers - crimson cloth cushioned bunches and curtains - very neatly done up - then to the house of commoners - what used to be (before the fire) the house of Lords - green leather cushions and deal oak-painted bench-backs looked dirtyish and plebeian - 500 members could sit in the bottom and 180 more in the galleries - a dirty-looking man wearing a brass-plate with an inscription ‘Parliament Duty no.2’ shewed us to the persons who shewed us both houses, and then called the carriage - asked him to whom I should apply for franks to him (he said) and gave his name which I forget - I asked what I should give him per frank -‘what you please ma’am’ - Before seeing the 2 houses had been an hour in Westminster abbey - A- much interested - shewed her Lady Nightingale’s monument  - death coming out of the tomb to strike her and her husband Mr N- trying to avert the dart - in this chapel (the one just behind general Wolfe’s monument) is the monument by Nollekens to Sir Charles Stuart (Lord Stuart de R-‘s father) ob. 181 aetatis 47 - longish Latin inscription but good Latinity - beautiful head of Sir Charles Stuart and very like the picture of him at the Lodge - In the chapel next (north side) to Henry the 7th’s chapel in which has just been placed the magnificent colossal sitting whole length figure of James Watt by Chantrey  is an old monument to the memory of Sir Henry Belasyse ob. 16 December 1717 in his 70th year and who married 1st Dorothy daughter of Tobias Jenkyn Esquire of Grimston and widow of Robert Benson Esquire of Wrenthorp [Wrenthorpe] both in Yorkshire - was this Jenkyn of the family of the Moses Jenkyn who married a Lister? - From the houses of parliament drove to Colnaghi’s - paid his bill - mentioned Lady Stuart de R- to raffle for ‘the poem of the heron’ a modern illuminated imitation of the antique by M. Castello - but Colnaghi said he had provided a person to raffle for the absentees, so that their invitations would not suffer, and I was so satisfied that A-‘s interest might be as safe with Colnaghi’s man as with anybody else, that I gave up caring much about asking Lady Stuart de R- there were to be 100 subscribers of one guinea  each - only 13 are wanting but whether is complete or not the raffle is to take place tomorrow week the 18th instant - from Colnaghi’s to Hammersleys to ask if any letter for me - yes! one from Washington dated 6th (Thursday last) to say Mr Leather was still in London at Osborne’s hotel, Adelphi, where W- had written to him stating the particulars of the water guage etc relative to the intended Denmark engine-wheel Mr L- to send his answer if ready in time to me at Hammersleys as tomorrow - if not ready to W- at Crownest he bought the Hatters’ fold cottages for A- (on Wednesday the 5th instant) ‘for £525 after a hard struggle and a good deal of manoeuvring’ to be paid for the 1st of November - very well bought - much better than I expected - a piece of good luck or good management or both - from Hammerlseys to 11 Clarges street - Lady Henries at Ramsgate - left my card dated in pencil ‘Monday 10 August’ - then to 8 Curzon street - 10 minutes with the 2 Misses Berry - they were just going out - asked me to go to them tomorrow evening - will probably be in Paris again next year - very civil to me - A- had waited in the carriage we then drove to the panoramas Burford’s of Thebes and Jerusalem, the 1st up 6 weeks, the 2nd up 5 months - there from about 2 20 to 4 much interested particularly with Thebes - Jerusalem much better than the Jerusalem I had seen in Paris - this (here) taken from Pontius Pilate’s palace - that (in Paris) said the man this morning taken from the Mount of Olives - home at 4 5 -  Sir Benjamin Brodie here about 4 3/4  till 5 - A- had her stays unloosed and he examined the back of her neck - did it very nicely - A- liked him very much - very quick clever little man - left 3 prescriptions for a belladonna plaster, and 2 tonics, and a formula for aperient pill when required - said the pain was merely nervous pain - had no doubt A- had been much worse - suffered much more from it sometime ago - there was no disease - in fact he entered into the case at once no humbug said she was just the sort of person for nervous pains but there was nothing to fear asked Sir B.B. what he had published lately, nothing said he but on my profession (surgery) - but this led him into a few minutes most agreeable conversation - I asked his opinion of Dr Philip’s notion of Galvanism being identical with the nervous influence (vide Vital Functions by Dr A.P.W. Phillip) - he had no faith in it - thinks our present faculties not sufficient for the comprehension of these matters - a superior being may see at a glance the connection of them - and how all proceeds perhaps from one simple principle, but we cannot see this - he hopes to turn back to his scientific pursuits on giving up his profession before his faculties are worn out - professional man do not retire soon enough - a lawyer may 1st find out when it is time to leave the field to others - asked if I knew how - no! because said he they are then employed by the Defendants - the plaintiff must always have the 1st rate man - said I would remember this observation which was very good - he said he would not labour as he did now for many years - could not do it - I civilly observed I hoped he would give up so as to have long to benefit science but hoped also that I might still have the privilege of being benefitted by his medical skill if I required it –

1000 Albums, 2020: The Big Lists
Hey folks, I’ve written up my top albums and my top tracks of 2020, but there’s so much music released in a year, and restricting myself to just 30 albums, and 50 tracks is a difficult task.
As a result, I’ve compiled a longer list of my top tracks and albums (without write-ups), for your perusal. This is obviously more for the sake of completeness, but are here in case you’re interested in finding out if I at all rated something you liked this year (or, if you’re Sam, if you want to actually do a detailed comparison).
Want playlists? I’ve got playlists for you too:
My Top 50 Countdown - which I posted yesterday. This provides a sorted countdown of my top tracks from #1 to #50. (50 tracks)
My Top Tracks - a longer list of all the tracks I really rated highly this year. This accounts for a much larger number of artists, and includes most of the tracks I’ve listed below. (169 tracks)
My Top Tracks & Albums - a playlist containing all my top tracks, plus selections from all of my favourite albums of the year. (216 tracks)
My Top Tracks, Albums + Much, Much More - Are you game? Contains a huge, varied collection of music that we listened to this year. I really enjoyed all these tracks, and they provide a much broader collection of albums, artists and genres. (1,014 tracks)

Early Book Cover Design - The Birth of the Printing Press
Invented in Germany around 1440 by Johannes Gutenberg the mechanized printing press gave way to the printing revolution. Up until the time, hand-printing, a woodblock printing technique from the Han Dynasty in China, could produce around 40 sheets in a day, Gutenberg’s printing press could produce 3600 pages in a day. The world’s oldest mechanically printed book, the Gutenberg Bible was printed by Johannes Gutenberg in 1454 and to this day 49 partial copies still exist and are thought to be world’s most valuable books. Of the 21 complete copies existing one is held in The National Library of Scotland in Edinburgh.
Tumblr media
The Gutenberg Bible, Wiganlanebooks, 2018
For 350 years the principle of the design on Gutenberg’s press remained unchanged. By the dawn of the industrial revolution at the start of the 19th Century steam power replaced hand operated presses with Friedrich Koenig’s designs devised between 1802 and 1818. Working with the German Engineer Andreas Friedrich Bauer the pair sold two models of their press to The Times in London and the first edition of The Times Newspaper rolled off the press on 28th November 1814. As literacy rates improved book production became standardized making it cheaper and therefore more widespread.
It was at this time that book covers took on a new importance, no longer there purely for the protection of the pages, book covers became the key selling point for what was contained within. Leather gave way to cloth which was not only cheaper but was able to be printed upon. The opportunity for design flourished with illustrators and designers making full use of the new printing techniques available to them, including embossing, gilding and colour lithography. Below are a sample of 19th Century book cover designs with an excellent range of topics from ‘Care of the Feet’ to ‘Practical Taxidermy’ and ‘Successful Advertising’!

Untold Tales of Spider-Man 07: Moving Day – by John S. Drew
Tumblr media
Pretty good.
May Parker looks at the packed boxes in her bedroom and feels a great sadness. Even though she wants to move in with Anna Watson, she knows how much she will miss Peter and she's reminded of her late husband, Ben. "The move made his absence all the more obvious and painful." She shows Peter the last family portrait they all took before Ben's murder. Peter tells her the moving van is waiting outside. (But this isn't a moving van for May's stuff, since, after all, she's only moving next door. This is a moving van for Peter's stuff as he joins Harry in a Manhattan apartment.) Harry Osborn, Mary Jane Watson, and Gwen Stacy are waiting outside. The truck driver, Joe, tells them he has another job after this one and needs to get moving. So, Pete tells May she's riding in the truck with Joe while he, Harry, MJ, and Gwen take the subway.As the truck heads toward the 59th Street Bridge, Joe regales May with stories, like the time he walked out on New York's master builder Robert Moses (the man behind the Triborough Bridge, West Side Highway, Verrazano-Narrows Bridge and so on). May barely listens. She's lost in memories of her house: when she and Ben signed the papers, when Peter came to live with them, Peter's first Christmas there when Ben bought him a bike, which Peter took apart and put back together again.The traffic comes to a standstill. May's memories proceed up to the night Ben was killed which so wounded her that she never went near Ben's armchair and was never able to open the window through which the Burglar came through again. Joe spies a super-hero battle taking place by the Chrysler Building and hopes it involves Daredevil. "I like Daredevil," he explains. Joe turns on the radio to find out what's what and learns that Spider-Man is fighting Mysterio. May is not thrilled. "Criminals like this Mysterio or the Sandman are captured by the Avengers and the Fantastic Four," she says, "Why is Spider-Man so special?" Joe doesn't know but he thinks, "Spidey's all right." As the battle continues, May can stand no more. She turns off the radio, much to Joe's exasperation. "I can't listen to this anymore," she says, "It's horrible! And to think that Peter is moving into all this! It's bad enough that he takes pictures of Spider-Man to make a living!" Joe is thrilled to learn that Peter takes Spidey photos. Then he tells May about his sister Veronica who wanted to be a trucker even though everyone told her it was not a woman's job. This gets May's back up. "If she's good at driving a truck and fancies it, what's to stop her?" she says. Joe thinks so too. He's joining up with his sister in another month. May doesn't think this all applies to Peter because Norman Osborn will be paying the apartment rent and Peter won't need the money. But Joe says, "Some people work just 'cause they like it."Suddenly the battle travels in their direction and Spider-Man lands on the hood of Joe's truck. Spidey looks in at May. She thinks there is something almost familiar about him. When Mysterio gets the upper hand, planning to throw Spidey off the bridge, Joe rushes out of his truck and attacks the villain. Hardly fazed, Mysterio grabs Joe, until Spidey wades in again. Mysterio disappears and Spidey shakes Joe's hand. As they continue into the city, May worries that Joe could have gotten himself killed. Joe tells her that "we all have to do what we can to help in this world." May realizes that "Peter is just like his Uncle" and would have stepped in like Joe did to help Spider-Man. This is why she's so worried about him but she also realizes that it is time to loosen the apron strings a little.May and Joe arrive at the Manhattan apartment and Peter is there to meet them. Harry, Gwen, and MJ show up and wonder where Pete disappeared to when the subways were halted for the fight. Peter "admits" that he snuck out and took pictures of the battle. May starts to lecture him, until Joe interrupts. Taking Joe's hint, she backs off.That night back at her house, May looks in Peter's empty room. She pulls out the picture of Ben and sheds a tear. "I'm trying, Ben," she says, "but it's so hard." Anna Watson pops in to tell her that it's time for dinner over at her house. May puts Ben's picture back in the crate it's in, then changes her mind, and takes it along with her.
As has become a pattern with this anthology every story moves a little bit forward on Spidey’s timeline. Unlike the other stories this story firmly occurs in the early Romita era. However it does somewhat contradict details. It you consult ASM #46 the events of this story just don’t slot in very well. But as I’ve also pointed out this book is less about presenting canonical tales but more stories that take a generalized view of the character.
In other words we know Peter moved out of Ben and May’s home eventually. The specifics aren’t what this story is about it’s about taking that fact and making a story out of it.
It’s a pretty decent story too. Nothing fancy and it does sort of touch upon similar ground that the prior tory touched upon. What makes this work is that it’s entirely from Aunt May’s POV. This book has also been touching upon corners of the Spider-Man mythos and I suppose this short story was the chance to do that with Aunt May. The other stories have used her, even made her critical to the plot, but they were Peter’s story and this is truly her story.
Its poignant because it also touches upon a realistic event in many people’s lives, moving away from home. What was novel was that it put the emphasis upon the parent not the young person growing up. Your child leaving the nest is for sure an often painful experience for parents make no mistake. This perfectly captures that experience. 
I also liked the cab driver. A nice, simple, down to Earth character that fits well into Spidey’s world.
I suppose I prefer other stories in this anthology but it works for what it is.
P.S. The timeline is also off in regards to Mysterio. It claims he appeared months ago but circa ASM it actually would’ve been years.

Miss Lankford was born August 1, 1962, in Wilkes County to Samuel Hayden and Willa Mae McNeil Lankford. She was a laboratory scientist with Guilford County Health Department and was a member of Arbor Grove United Methodist Church.
Ellen always excelled in school. She attended Millers Creek Elementary and West Wilkes High schools. During her senior year, she transferred to Wilkes Central High  School to take advanced classes, which allowed her to enter college as a sophomore. She went to Appalachian State University in Boone where she earned her bachelors degree in biology. She continued her education at Wake Forest Baptist Medical School and Appalachian State University, going on to earn her masters degree in biology.
During high school she worked for Winn-Dixie grocery store in North Wilkesboro and later for Blue Ridge Opportunity Commission under the late Betty Baker. After completing her college education, she worked at Davie County Memorial Hospital in Mocksville. Later, she went to work for the Guilford County Health Department as a laboratory scientist. She also worked part-time at Moses Cone Hospital in Greensboro in the same capacity.
She lived in Greensboro during most of her working career. She retired from the Guilford County Health Department. Ellen moved back home to Wilkes in August 2015.
Ellen had no children, but rather looked at her brothers, Mike and Jerry’s, children as her own. Later, when Jerry’s grandchildren arrived, she acted as a grandmother to those children as well. In return, they all loved her dearly.
Although she had many hobbies and interests – mostly dealing with more intellectual endeavors – her main passion and love was for her family, whom she treated wonderfully.
Ellen was also an accomplished pianist and vocalist. She could also play the dulcimer.
She was preceded in death by her parents and two brothers; Gary Steven Lankford and Michael Grayden Lankford.

There are also four special people Ellen claimed as family. They are Destiny, Cassidy and Samantha Toliver - whom she considered nieces - and their father, Ken Toliver, all of Wilkes. They are the children and husband of Ellen’s dear friend, the late Carmel Toliver.
Special music will be provided by Gabriella Lankford, Destiny Toliver, Larry Griffin and Rev. Dr. Susan Pillsbury Taylor.
