I’m taking a break from some screenwriting stuff and spending too much time poring over an awesome website my buddy Don Adams told me about — Yesterville Toy Room. The site is maintained by comics artist Brian Ashmore (Batman: Absolution) and I think he and I were separated at birth when it comes to the 1970s (and the toys we …

MFSF is one of only three sf magazines (along with ASTOUNDING and AMAZING) published throughout the entire decade of the 1950s. It’s known for reprinting stories from unusual …

Cool Actor of the Week – Powers Boothe

So. …
