SilverWolf’s epic, Thieves (#1) gets new life on the Flavourful Sauce.
A group of super thieves team up to bring some sweet flaming justice to evil doers and bald men who talk so melodically. Will Diana be ok? Where did Rhan learn to drive so good? Is Alex single? All these questions and more in Thieves issue 1…“
Since I’ve been doing a lot of posts on Silverwolf and Greater Mercury Comics lately, I thought it would be nice to share a really, really nice piece of Grips original art with you. This one is by artist Pete Ayala, artist for Grips V2 #3-5 and #7-12.

Moby happened to be in Sacramento, California recently (the birthplace of Silverwolf Comics) and was able to get in touch with Tim Foster. Tim worked for Kris Silver way back at the start of Silverwolf, doing the art for The Dungeoneers, which lasted four (4) issues total.
The Dungeoneers was based on a party of fantasy role-playing characters, a la Dungeons & Dragons or such.
This title follows the adventures of a ragtag band consisting of a hippy ninja, an ugly dwarf, an Amazon warrior babe, a skinny werewolf, a crusty old wizard, and a rock with legs, feet and tennis shoes as they make their way down through many realms…down, down, down across levels and dimensions to Hell itself. But hold on to your seats: their journey doesn’t stop there. Witness the terror of infinity as it takes this group below Hell and beyond! – Atomic Avenue
I had contacted Mr. Foster to ask if he possibly had any of the original art or such to share or sell since I was in town, just hoping but not expecting much. Of course there was no original published art from the series to be had, but he did have some great insights to share. Tim Foster was very kind and took being asked about his work on a small comic book 20+ yrs ago in very good humor. Continue reading »
Okay, what’s wrong with this picture?
So, it seems that Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson has built a reputation as ‘Franchise Viagra‘ for his ability to come on board flagging film franchises and breathe new life into them. And he has stated that he would like in on Star Wars.
Cinema Blend: Are there other franchises that you look at and think, “I want to give that a shock to the system?”
Dwayne Johnson: Oh easily. Star Wars.
Scattered about the galaxy were the time-space Gates of a vanished but not forgotten alien race. In their time, long before the rise of the native civilizations, they had terrorized a hundred worlds—not from villainy but from folly, from tampering with the strands that held a universe together.
Now the task was to uproot these Gates…”
While Twittering around yesterday I saw a tweet from CJ Cherryh, something that happens once a day if we’re lucky. Here it is:

A film adaptation of one of Cherryh’s works? That would be awesome. One thing I have noticed is that when Hollywood moves, it can be like a surge. Whenever a topic or author gets hot, we always seem to get movies in pairs. Armageddon and Deep Impact; Dante’s Peak and that other Volcano movie; A Bug’s Life and Antz….the list goes on. Point is, if one Cherryh property gets the greenlight…does that mean other’s could get the go ahead? Continue reading »
