Welcome back, Cromrades! This week we join Conan to sail the seas and explore a fantastic island where intrigue abounds! Hope you brought a jaunty hat and your cutlass!

One Things

Jon: Frank Miller and JRJR's Superman: Year One! Not necessarily good, but it's a thinker for sure!

Josh: Apple TV's 'Ted Lasso!' A lot of laughs, and a lot of heart!

Luke: The incomparable scholar, Bobby Derie! See here for the CL Moore and REH essay from 'On an Underwood #5! Otherwise, you can check out many of the special pubs that Bobby does for Howard Days here! Finally, if you haven't sprung for it yet, you should absolutely snag a copy of Bobby's "Weird Talers". It collects many of the materials Bobby published on that blog!
