| Conan Paradox Entertainment announced the two-step acquisition of Conan Sales Company (CSC) holding all the rights to Conan, one of the most successful character franchises in the world. The agreement allows Paradox to acquire 20% of the company with an option to purchase all remaining stock. Effective immediately, the management of CSC will be represented by Paradox Entertainment. A wide range of international companies has been working with Conan over the years. Current licensing deals include a feature film option with Warner Brothers, computer games license with TDK, and a publishing license with TOR-books. ”We’ve got two major challenges: The first is to be true to the great Conan fan base, and the second is to elevate the Conan brand and its characters preparing the property for another sixty years in the entertainment industry. We feel that Paradox is well suited to take on such tasks,” concluded Theodore Bergquist, CEO of Paradox Entertainment. | |

| History of Science Fiction Fantastic Voyage: Evolution of Science Fiction will air on the History Channel, Saturday, 9/28, at 8:00 pm EDT. It will be repeated at Midnight. The show runs 120 minutes. An insightful documentary boldly goes into the genre's history in literature, film and TV. The exploration of sci-fi (a term, the show points out, that wasn't coined until the 1930s) begins with 17th-century tales inspired by the discoveries of Copernicus and Galileo. Also examined are its role in social and political commentary; the merging of science fiction with science fact in the '50s and '60s with developments such as space travel and the moon landing; and its leap from "cultural outsider" to mainstream entertainment. In addition, there are profiles of early writers Mary Shelley, Jules Verne and H.G. Wells; and comments by William Shatner and TV GUIDE senior editor Michael Davis. | |

by the pulps Tom Strong #11 and #12 featured a two-part story titled Terror on Terra Obscura. The characters who appeared in the story (Pyroman, Miss Masque, The American Crusader, The Black Terror, the Fighting Yank, and Doc Strange) are real comic characters that were published in the 1940s by Ned Pines under the Standard/Better/Nedor imprint(s). An article about these characters and how they've fallen into the public domain, only to be revived by various creators, including Alan Moore for his America's Best Comics line and his Doc Savage-inspired character, Tom Strong is available on the Newsarama website at http://www.newsarama.com/public.html. The heroes are slated to get a return engagement in 2003 when Peter Hogan pens a Terra Obscura miniseries for ABC [with art by Yanique Paquette and Karl Story], utilizing the same characters on the same world. If interest is high enough in the miniseries, ABC will launch the heroes of Terra Obscura in their own ongoing monthly. |  |

Conan Art Prints Bud Plant Comic Art has available two limited edition, signed and numbered Conan art prints. These prints were produced for the 2002 San Diego ComiCon. Bud Plant has obtained the last remaining prints, and is the exclusive retailer of the prints. Both prints are 18"X24", full color, and retail for $70 each. The first print is by Mark Schultz. It depicts Conan standing high upon a dais with many tribesmen about him. Their attention is focused on a gorgeous, naked dancing woman, whose jewelry and raiments are scattered about her on the blood-soaked platform. Most men in the audience, including Conan, are holding bloodied weapons at ease, intent on the spectacle before them. Schultz created this image for the upcoming Conan of Cimmeria Volume 1. Visit Bud Plant Comic Art to order. Supply is very limited. |  |
| The
second print is by Gary Gianni. It depicts Conan and a nomadic chieftan
recline in a tent in heavy, tooled chairs with goblets of wine in hand. Conan,
his head propped on his hand, scowls at the chief, who returns the sour glare
with one of his own. With finery and the spoils of war about them and an assemblage
of men visible through the drawn canvas outside, this looks like the scene of
a wary debate or fragile alliance. Gianni created this image for the upcoming
Conan of Cimmeria Volume 2. Visit Bud Plant Comic Art to order. Supply is very limited. |  |

Fay Masterson will play the widowed sister-in-law of the young Ranger (Chad Murray). Anita Brown will portray the sister of Tonto (Nathanial Arcand).

| The Lost Bloch Crimes and Punishments - The Lost Bloch Volume 3 is tentatively planned for release in 2002. The Lost Bloch resurrects novelette and novella-length Blochiana, rarely or never-reprinted pulp pieces often overlooked because they were never published as stand-alone books. The centerpiece of Crimes and Punishments is the novella-length study, Dr. Holmes' Murder Castle - the closest Bloch ever came to writing a true-crime book, chronicling the homicidal reign of terror perpetrated by H. H. Holmes, America's most outrageous (and least-known) serial killer. Bob's output for the mystery pulps is represented by It's Your Own Funeral and other selections, while his more fanciful and fantastic side gives vent to the novella Hell's Angel. The chaser? A stiff shot of Bob's observations on another real-life murderer, The Shambles of Ed Gein. There is also an interview with Bob in his own words, conducted by Douglas E. Winter, plus an expository piece by series editor David J. Schow, and a celebrity foreword by world-famous author, critic and illustrator Gahan Wilson. Volume 3 will be the last volume in the series. Dustjacket art is by Bernie Wrightson. There will be two editions. |  |

Ackermansion To Be Sold Longtime SF editor and literary agent Forrest Ackerman is selling off his legendary Hollywood house, nicknamed the "Ackermansion," and his collection of SF movie memorabilia to pay legal bills, the Los Angeles Times reported. The two-story, 5,800-square-foot mansion, perched on a winding street in the hills above Hollywood, once had more than 300,000 SF and horror film items crammed into every nook and cranny, the newspaper reported. Ackerman reportedly led more than 50,000 fans on personal tours of the house and the ragtag collection of memorabilia, including movie posters, paintings and masks of screen legends like Boris Karloff, as well as costumes and props from classic SF movies, the newspaper reported. Ackerman, the former literary agent for such authors as Ray Bradbury and founding editor of the cult magazine Famous Monsters of Filmland, is selling the house, which was listed for $1.3 million and is now in escrow, the Times reported. In addition, Ackerman, 85, said he is liquidating his memorabilia collection to raise money to pay for an expensive legal fight against his onetime business associate, Ray Ferry. Ackerman now lives in a rented five-room house in Los Angeles with a few of his most-treasured items, including a replica of the female robot from his favorite film, Metropolis.

Classic Era of Crime Fiction The Classic Era of Crime Fiction is now available. The Classic Era of Crime Fiction is a sequel to Peter Haining's The Classic Era of American Pulp Magazines and is again written by Haining. This lavishly illustrated history features rare covers and classic illustrations, revealing how crucial artists were to establishing the identity and popularity of crime fiction. During its "classic era"--from 1850 to 1950--a variety of writers developed every important element of the genre: the police detective, the professional sleuth, the hard-boiled private eye, the secret agent, and of course, the criminal masterminds, crooks, and gangsters. From Sherlock Holmes and James Bond to Edgar Allan Poe and Joseph Conrad, this book explores and exciting cultural history. Crime enthusiasts can here see how famous (and sometimes infamous) works of crime fiction originally looked, and how unknown writers and illustrators became responsible for one of the cornerstones of popular culture.

| Moonstone Books Coming from Moonstone Books in January is the next title in the Moonstone Noir series: Jack Hagee, Private Eye. The story is by C.J. Henderson with art by Richard Clark. The art is painted in grey tones by The Phantom colorist Ken Wolak. Finally, the cover is by Doug Klauba. Here
is the Moonstone solicitation information: Hagee's Manhattan is the one the tourists don't get to see. It's those small twisty back streets in Chinatown, the reeking dumpster-filled alleys of midtown, the crumbling docks, the beer-drenched bars that stink of rotting foam and their patron's indifference. It is a lump of land 14 miles long stuffed with seven million people every day--which is apparently five and half million more than it can handle. It is a violent, twisted, thieving, scumhole. It isn't really hell on earth, it's more what you get when you put too many rats in a cage and slam the door. Imagine
that world with a hangover, a crime that doesn't want to be solved, and the pain
of from a capped tooth that doesn't like being in your mouth. That's the comic
we're offering you here. Violence, anger, and the rest of those sissy deadly sins
make anappearance, but Haggee's not above shooting them in the back if they get
too careless with him. Welcome to Jack Haggee's world, gentle reader. Hang on,
and watch your step. 48
pages, squarebound, self-contained, painted grey scale, $5.50 |  |

Night Shade Books Night Shade Books will be publishing a series of volumes collecting H.P. Lovecraft's letters. Rather than chronological, as with the Arkham editions, the Night Shade editions will be thematic. Each volume will be dedicated to a specific subject, time, or place. The Arkham editions have severely edited/cut the letters, eliminating a great deal of material. These editions will be uncut, containing the complete texts of the letters, as well as any additional illustrations. The Night Shade editions will be far more comprehensive. The
first volume will be Mysteries of Time and Spirit: Letters of H.P. Lovecraft
and Donald Wandrei, edited by S.T. Joshi and David E. Schultz. This
volume collects all known correspondence between Lovecraft and Wandrei.
Most of Mysteries of Time and Spirit is unpublished material, as will be
most of the letters volumes produced in the future. Mysteries of
Time and Spirit will be available as a $40 trade hardcover or a $20 trade
paperback, and will run about 450 pages. Shipping is $5.50 for the first
book and $1.00 for each additional book. Night

| The Shadow Dollar
- A New Premium Offer Now you can get a replica of this rarely seen 1981 Shadow Dollar. Designed especially for Walter Gibson, creator of The Shadow, these dollars were originally given out to promote The Shadow. Often, Mr. Gibson would autograph them with his unique double "Walter Gibson/Maxwell Grant" signature. You can't find the original Shadow Dollars today, but now you can have your very own replica of that famous dollar. No efforts were spared to match the original weight, texture and color of the paper. The color of the ink and the detailed artwork have been faithfully reproduced. Recreated to exact specifications, this Shadow Dollar will become a treasured keep-sake among your Shadow collectibles. To order your very own Shadow Dollar, send ten cents, along with a self-addressed, stamped envelope (business size, or No. 10) to: John Olsen, P.O. Box 181, Newberg, Oregon 97132. By return mail, you will receive your Shadow Dollar replica, specially water-marked to prevent confusion with the originals (or as Joe would say, "Marked to prevent fraud by evil e-Bay hucksters"). Each Shadow Dollar comes complete with a short history of how it came to be. Order yours today! Please be sure to specify what you are ordering. Say "I want the replica Shadow Dollar!" And don't forget that business sized SASE. Your order can't be completed without it. (Limit one (1) Shadow Dollar per address, please. Supplies are limited, and I want as many Shadow fans as possible to have one.) To see The Shadow Dollar, visit John Olsen's web site at http://www.spaceports.com/~deshadow/premium/index.html | |

Adventure House Adventure House has bought a collection of some of the most gorgeous pulps you'd ever want to see and after several very hard weeks of work is ready to release what could be the best catalog they have ever produced! To make it even more special, Adventure House has produced a fully illustrated CD-ROM catalog. The CDROM contains nearly 1,600 full color images to go along with the nearly 1,600 items listed. DIME MYSTERY, SPICY MYSTERY, SUPER-DETECTIVE, SAUCY MOVIE TALES, PRIVATE DETECTIVE, STAR WESTERN, WILD WEST WEEKLY, and lots, lots more. A good number of these have white...yes WHITE paper and nearly flawless covers. Adventure House is printing its normal free paper catalog containing these marvelous items to be sent out late next week. They are also selling a CD-ROM catalog for only $10.00 plus $4.00 Priority Mail shipping. The CD-ROM catalog includes a nearly full sized scan of every item for sale. The images are real scans and not some cheesy digital camera picture of a pulp on a cluttered countertop. The scans are un-retouched so you can see just what you are getting. Each image has been slightly reduced so it will fit on your monitor without having to scroll back and forth to view. The CD-ROM is written like a web page and can be read by any web browser. No JAVA or special scripts are included that could trip up some web browsers. All items will be for sale once the catalogs and CD-ROMs hit the street. The CDs will be shipped at the same time as the paper catalog next week, but you can order a copy today either by mail or through the Adventure House web site. For some examples, check the Adventure House eBay auctions in a couple of days. To
order by mail, send payment to: Adventure House, 914 Laredo Road, Silver

Burroughs: Master of Fantasy Griffen Films Productions, LLC and KUHT-Houston PBS are developing a documentary devoted to Edgar Rice Burroughs entitled Burroughs: Master of Fantasy. This documentary will follow the life of the Burroughs family after the Civil War. An introduction on the kind of society in which ERB grew up is essential to understand his state of mind. The industrial revolution brought incertitude to the population regarding the new technologies and their use. A free mind like that of ERB was shut down and his professional misfortune ended when he could finally express himself through writing. At last, his mind could go where it wanted to: inside the imaginary world. The film will also follow ERB's personal life and career through his books and the different characters that he created. Following in parallel will be a description of the society in which Burroughs' writing evolved: the motion picture as a new art form, WWI, the pulp fiction magazines, the 1929 Wall Street crash, the first comic books etc. Hosts/Narrators
for the documentary are Bruce Boxleitner and Lydie Denier. |  |

| Fritz Leiber - Dark
Day, Night Bright, a new collection of stories Now available from Darkside Press is Dark Day, Night Bright, a new collection of stories by Fritz Leiber! Darkside Press has assembled a selection of some of Mr. Leiber’s most renowned tales with a liberal dose of rarities that have been unavailable in any form for many years. Considered by many to be the greatest writer in the field of fantastic fiction, Fritz Leiber’s long and productive career spanned fifty years. This present collection assembles stories from sources ranging from the pulp magazines of the 1940’s to modern "slicks" like ESQUIRE. As a special treat, this book includes a "lost" novelette, Night Passage, which was recently discovered in the author’s papers at the University of Houston. Most of the stories gathered here are making their first appearance in book form or have been virtually unobtainable for many years. Fritz Leiber was the winner of every major award for science fiction, fantasy, and horror during his career. While many of his novels remain in print, much of his great short fiction has been virtually unobtainable for decades. This is the first of several volumes intended to bring the best of Fritz Leiber's science fiction short stories back into print. Future volumes will include collections of SF stories under the Darkside Press imprint and additional volumes of horror fiction from Midnight House. Dark Day, Night Bright is casebound
for $40 plus shipping as indicated below. Orders
can be placed online and paid via Paypal or via the U.S. mail. Upcoming
