Sword & Sorcery: "An earthier sort of fantasy" discussion

Good show!!

Damn!

Nice. Guess you won't be on here for a while.

Nice! Well, John Carter of Mars was not great, but other than that, a fine haul!

I’m watching for a nice copy of Eric Brighteyes to add to my growing Viking-centric library.

I have a 1891 hardcover edition of Eric Brighteyes that is falling apart. I found it cheap years ago and kept it for a curiosity. It's illustrated throughout.

They really are. If you google 1891 Eric Brighteyes illustrations they come up. The book doesn't credit an artist but online they seem to have been done by Lancelot Speed.

That's cool! I used to have a few books like that (old, falling apart, but kept for rarely seen interior content), but when I moved I really I had to cut down, so off those went regretfully.

OK, who is writing the first tale featuring a hero name of 'Lancelot Speed'?!

The artist for the Eric Brighteyes 1891 edition seems to be Lancelot Speed. At least that's what I read on the internet; so it MUST be true.

It is a singular type of name.
