doctor strange
by day a poet, but by night -
cloaked in stygian darkness,
the arcane master of the cosmic mysterioso,
Doctor Strange; acolyte of the Ancient One
nemesis of the Dread Dormammu
and his thrice-damned nefarious minion Baron Mordo.
mystic wayfarer
of alternate dimensions and parallel multiverses
possessor of the magic amulet and other artifacts
of a quasi-religious dubiousity;
no mere mentalist or rosicrucian -
he produces; he gets results!
once, caught within the weird and alien geometry
of Cthulhu's Temple of Dagon,
its circuitous and infinite halls of madness
he followed the ectoplasmic residue
of his own atemporal footprints
to rend the very fabric of discontinuity
and thus return to his library
to put the finishing touches on his
translation of verses from the Bulgarian (vol. 1 and 2)
no mere dabbler or dilettante,
no closet Caligari -
the magic amulet opens at his command
expanding exponentially into shards of ambient light
illuminating the mundane apparitions of terra normala.

I agree dino
I flashed back to the late forties lying on the floor of an upstairs room at eastern and caroline. With my eyes close listening to the radio, nothing as good as Dr Strange but still pretty good, the green lantern, the shadow, stuff like that. But no chills. I don't remember being chilled though, just extremely interested, gone into that othere world of a child's imagination. Cecil talks about the infinite space inside our skulls, seemed bigger to me back then.
I meant it dino
bliss to get to talk to the poet
man those comic books really evolved in a decade. Way past what I was reading in the 50's If I see any dr doom's I am going to buy it even if I have to sell blood

i think dr. doom's first appearance was in fantastic four #5. used to get my haircut as a kid at ule's barber shop on tolna and eastern ave. - he always had comic books for the boomers. it was there that i got my first taste of early marvel titles - tales to astonish, journey into mystery and then later on, fantastic four, spiderman etc. coverbrowser.com has nice pics of almost any comic you can think of - extensive archive. toonapedia is another good site - extensive histories of titles, comic publishers, newspaper comic strips - check out winzor mckay's little nemo in slumberland - exquisite artwork. i have a dr. doom avatar that i use on other sites, but i don't know how to reduce pixel size to studio 8's parameters. i'm a computer illiterate.

email me the image, dino .. and i'll send it back to you re-sized
funny, though, because the parameters are 110px x 110px i'm pretty sure (meaning the largest measurement can't be any more than 110... obviously it doesn't have to be square) but anyway, that's like way larger than most boards allow.
so i'm sorta confused. but don't worry that's nothing new. I get confused quite often and very easily.

I interrupted, jack. Sorry. I was reading your conversation with dino and saw that he mentioned the avatar sizes here at S8 and I wanted to help. I was confused about what he was saying about the size parameters. It had nothing to do with your conversation with him. Sorry I interrupted. My bad. Carry on and pretend I wasn't here.

Well what's wrong with that, I liked those horse shoe collars he used to wear. Never can stand anything up around my neck. Happy childhood too, but some spooky moments for me playing hangman when I was about eight

True
but I got a brother blue eyes skin so fair he never tans, goes from white to red to white.
Not only swarthy but Mediterranean people are also "excitable", my sister in law said of speaking of my mother.
I printed this one out Dino,
I am such an ink miser
I hardly ever print anything out.
That is how much I am attracted to your Dr Strange
gracias one more time
for a good time reading
