This has probably been asked before, but who does the art in the comic for the opening credits?

[Teddog3000]

The artist is Ty Templeton.

Thank you Teddog3000 for your kind work turning this show from something I read about once upon a time but never saw to something I've fully (if belatedly) experienced.

[Teddog3000]

No prob! That's what I upload these. It makes my day when someone ends up stumbling on these uploads and goes "Wait! I remember hearing about this years ago!"

Thank you, once again, for bringing these back to the world, Teddog!

[Teddog3000]

No prob. So, when are you going to use Helen in an RP setting and does that mean I get to roll Nance in your next game? ;)

(Just kidding)

(Mostly. If you were running Red Dwarf, I would have written a character sheet for her just for fun.)

Wow! Another Moorcock interview! Either I don't remember this one or I didn't see it when it first aired on my local PBS station! Interesting how it never hit him that in a world where wars have been fought based on conflicting belief systems and he grew up in one where 6M innocents were killed that he wouldn't hit a raw nerve somewhere! I can't even talk about this book without reading chapter & verse how blasphemous the concept is! I guess he hung out with more open minded folks than I have!

Thanks so much for these programs! Had never heard of it until I discovered an episode on You Tube. Comics, authors, artists, fiction in all aspects. Loved these all my life & being pretty much house bound now the show is bringing all kinds of entertainment and information. :) Also memories of attending cons & meeting a few of the interview subjects back in the day. God bless. Can't thank you enough.

I love the footage of L. Sprague de Camp!

Used to watch this show religiously every Sunday evening in the early 90's when I collected comics.

I never had the faintest inkling this series existed. That's what's great about surfing YouTube!

I was at Worldcon and got Connie Willis autograph! I saw her at a panel, she's incredible!
