Philip K. Dick, Nancy Dick, & Robert Silverberg in the lobby of Berkeley’s Claremont Hotel, where late August 1968’s Baycon, aka the 26th World Science Fiction Convention, was held. Photo by Jay Kay Klein. I wish I had a time machine. I wish I could hear what they were saying. https://t.co/s0tuYL7Tcd

This afternoon’s wonderful & well-read old paperback in a dusty, ancient, battered book frame: 2007’s “Stargate Atlantis: Entanglement”, which I bought hoping its author Martha Wells might be the writer of the terrific Murderbot stories too. Such is so & it’s darn well written! https://t.co/h3ZBm85W1k

Saw this 40s photo of Labour’s Stafford Cripps & thought how the figure of John Bull behind him -I’ve never seen it before- looked not unlike WW2 superhero Maximan from Grant Morrison & Steve Yeowell’s Zenith in 2000AD. And I think the “original” could still work in comics today. https://t.co/6KuToXhQOT

Hurrah for the Radio Times, whose newest edition succeeds where so many others have failed by identifying Stan Lee as the “co-creator” and not the sole creator of many of Marvel’s foundational super- people. https://t.co/l0Z71fa1eQ
