Wound tight, played precise
A night fight, all that jazz
Voodoo spell, doll will dance
Deadside hell and razzmatazz
Pagan sages, a ragtime roll
Inner rages in shadow hours
Pinprick pain, man divided
Ridden insane by fiendish powers
Inspired by the original run of the Shadowman comic. Submitted to FOWC with Fandango – tight and precise along with the Word of the Day Challenge – jazz
Today I’m feeling:
Still a little dusty and vague. Predictably, last night I didn’t sleep well as indigestion bothered my stomach and the oysters bothered my guts.
A really vivid poop dream got me out of bed as the oysters decided to make their early exit and it was a struggle to get a good deep sleep after that.
Today I’m grateful for:
Starting to feel normal again this evening. Even early this afternoon I could still taste Friday night’s whiskey in my mouth. This evening I seem to have my energy and motivation back after pushing through with a few things this afternoon.
The best thing about today was:
Sorting things out this afternoon for the Bennu 12” release and the upcoming MPC CD, downloading some comics, listening to some tunes and playing a bit of guitar. I have to try and force myself into my room this week to play some more. No book reading again this weekend sadly. I really want to read more but seem more invested in YouTubing. I’m going to turn off the video I’m about to watch and read instead.
Something I learned today?
Watching the Swans mini-match I found out that we lost by one point in a poor game. Hopefully, it keeps us from being complacent.


Ah, Valiant Comics. Loved ’em!
Excellent poem!! 🤘🤘

The first 10-15 issues of Shadowman are wild and crazy. I loved them. I’m reading through later volumes now. What else did Valiant do?

XO Manowar, Turok Dinosaur Hunter, Magnus Robot Fighter, Bloodshot, and Solar Man of the Atom were their bigger titles back in the day. They also did a huge crossover event called Unity if my memory serves.

Oh that’s right. I think I have some XO Manowar, Bloodshot and Solar comics to read but from a more recent imprint. I don’t think they are called Valiant Comics anymore…

No, they changed their name/sold quite some time back. Not sure if it;s still true, but Activision owned them at one point.
