Gorgeous French graphic adaptation of the first chunk of Michael Moorcock’s classic Elric of Melniboné.
Beginning in December 2005 with my history of apes in film essay “Gorilla of Your Dreams” (the substantially update and revised version appears in The Apes of Wrath), I regularly contributed to Moving Pictures Magazine. First in the print incarnation and then for primarily the website. I contributed reviews and essays for the last three years of the publications existence. Following the June 2011 demise of both the print and website editions, all of the digital work for MPM disappeared into the ether. In the coming months (years?), I plan on reposting many of my reviews and articles.
I often reviewed the more geeky offerings and thus I muddled my way through the forgettable Green Hornet.
