A group of young mages in the employ of a French king once used a wheel of fortune to travel through the air.

Alas, the ticket price was... murder.

Monster High's Gen 3 really surprised me in just how queer and disabled it really is.

Card 086: Storm

Jusko effectively renders Storm's raw power, but it does seem a little weird to have the background so water based vs. sky based.

Card 084: Super-Skrull

Love the fiery Thing fist.

Who is your favorite "bad guy that has all the powers of the good guys" character?

Card 083: Thanos

A properly cosmic - if somewhat busy and...awkwardly posed - card for the Mad Titan.

Card 077: Sandman

Dude's got some wild eyes!

I like that while the cardback details his then-recent face turn, the front just goes all out super-villain in its depiction.

Card 073: Punisher

Kinda ho-hum. A tighter shot might've worked better. Punisher also isn't a character I associate w/Spider-Man or Batman-esque mid-building clings (rooftops, sure, but not sides of buildings like this).

Question: What are the first mentions in either or fantastic fiction of "serpent people" "snake men" and so forth - not as individuals, but as a distinct species?

The dwarves of old knew how to summon dragon servants, and could provide these to others.

But those who own such a dragon should be careful to always heed the feeding instructions...

The Devil often leaves a signature of sorts at the places where he is encountered.

Though the Romans supposedly wiped out the druid class among the Gauls, in the Empire's waning years there were reports of dryades, female druids who often held more than one job in their community but were known to give divine prophecy in a druidic fashion. Britonic druids lasted much longer, while Irish druids, male and female, lasted well into the last thousand years, though their social role had been diminished greatly by Christianity.

Aachen Cathedral may be the most famous of those.
