Retro Graphic Novels
If you guys aren't familiar with it, I would highly suggest Francesco Francovilla's work, both his contracted stuff (his run on Batman Detective, his Lone Ranger and Zorro work) and his own properties (the Black Beetle is thrilling, pulpy genius). You can check out his stuff at his Pulp Sunday...- marxalot

Two paintings of my mother from the late 40's.
We have some very nice tinted photographs (similar to portraits in that style) of my grandmother and great aunt, as well as their mother, which date from around that time and earlier. Of my grandmother have have one which I know was done around the time of her marriage (1948) and one done from...- marxalot

What is your favorite Scotch Whisky?
As far as single malts are concerned, I'm awfully fond of Glenfidditch- the pear finish. For special occasions, I've a bottle of Glenmorangie (port wood finish); my dad favors Glenfarclas as his best bottle. Most of the time, though, I find myself drinking blends, and for that, Ballantine's...- marxalot

Very Very Short Stories
Slick as he turned them over, Adam watched antibacterial soap make frictionless surfaces of his hands, inhaling the simple clean scent he knew of the iridescent bubbles on his skin. Behind him Linda lay in the bed, murmuring her way into or out of REM sleep she hovered just below consciousness...- marxalot

On yer bike!
I love the look of vintage bikes but could never take the sheer weight-- my father is a cycling enthusiast, and just some of his frames from the 40s and 50s were heavy enough to drive me into the arms of more modern alloys and methods. That said, the peripherals (Brooks leather saddles, proper...- marxalot

Ladies: Do You Like Comic Books?
I was really into comics when I was a kid (9-15), but kind of fell out with all the spandex super types and put them down for a few years. In my second year in college, though, one of my friends passed me vol 1 of Transmetropolitan (Warren Ellis et al) and I started getting back into graphic...- marxalot

Tattoos.
As far as the period is concerned, ink was basically the purview of sailors (military or merchant), low-lifes, and odd birds (generally foreign). For myself, I've got one tattoo and intend on getting a few more-- but all of the designs I'm working on are meaningful, and act as reminders to...- marxalot

Great English novels set between the wars....
In addition to Waugh's Vile Bodies (and the movie, which I force my friends to watch at every opportunity), I must recommend Brideshead Revisited, which is an excellent book in spite of its critical acclaim. Put Out More Flags, by the same author, is rather less withering in its self-satire than...- marxalot

What Are You Reading
A mixed bag- The Brothers Karamazov, Android Karenina (a book which I received from a friend, relieving me of my dilemma regarding wanting to read this alternate version of C-19 Russia but not wanting to financially support the alteration of Tolstoy), Berlin (a history of the city from...- marxalot

PULP FICTION,... Old comic books
A quick note, for anyone who yearns for that pulpy look/feel/read that the slick books the major houses have been cranking out lack: check out Francesco Francavilla's blog, http://pulpsunday.blogspot.com/ I ran across it while looking for some pulp-style images to show friends, and it really is...- marxalot
