I always wondered about the spider, I never knew why he was so popular, but now I know why! It sounds like a great read!

Same here. I always wondered why what seemed like a Shadow rip-off was so big... then I read one of his stories. It's a lot of fun (violent fun).

Now this is a character I know almost nothing about. The Avenger is another. I only know of that one due to the Doc Savage connection. G8 is one I've seen mentioned by Farmer, and that's it. Looking forward to it.

It's about halfway done, and I never realized just how crazy G8's concepts are. It should be up sometime this weekend.

Sorry about the Comcast-esque pixellation, hahah.

Yeah, I was bummed about the Ram Singh picture too, but it was all I had to work with. The other pic I found was in color and I felt it would have been too jarring a change in that spot. Glad you like the video, though :D

Glad I went back and watched this again today. I assume the tiling on the cover of The Spider Strikes was intentional (not a look I favor, I get that enough from Comcast). Shame image of Ram Singh was a bit blurred and not as clear as Wentworth and Van Sloane. Otherwise excellent visual tribute.
