Africa as a setting is interestingly enough at the very roots of S&S. Rider Haggard is often seen a father to the genre and his best books are all set in Africa. If you can stand a lot of colonial attitude and outbursts of racism he actually gives some of his black african heroes a depth that few, if any, other pulp adventure authors could manage for decades since. The 80s movie "adaption" of Haggards King Solomons mines is actually worse in many respects than Haggards own writing. The movie's expendable black servants don't even get names.Vidugaviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14783335709665701976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7008217764991774516.post-20880104933222053812012-06-15T16:20:34.068-04:002012-06-15T16:20:34.068-04:00I am, it's a blast.I am, it's a blast.The Wasphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08636805818054637966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7008217764991774516.post-50050157828139926032012-06-15T14:06:31.136-04:002012-06-15T14:06:31.136-04:00I'm glad you enjoyed Griots, Fletcher.

Also when you get the chance there is a short monthly comic book project titled the Written, a very unique supernatural tale of horror that features various local Nigerian myths and legends written by Sonny Azeez that I produced and am proud to say I worked on as the primary editor that will be published in the first issue of the Comic Book Anthology Magazine POINT BLANK which comes out this month.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
