Family's Not Always Divine
Familyâs Not Always Divine (Hypocrisyâs Tale) by Bryon Slack
Truth has a sister who only looks at herself in angled mirrors. She places spiderwebs of chosen illusion like a blindfold over her eyesâ thin enough to see through, thick enough to pretend she canât.
She holds the scales of her conscience in a hand palming extra weights for uncomfortable realizations. She tips justice with a smirk, then swears the imbalance is divine design.
She walks in light borrowed from brighter souls, reflecting it like a polished badge while standing in the doorway of progressâ just enough to block it.
She smiles in statements, never questions. Her apologies are flowers folded from holy texts, ink bleeding into the vase water.
Her skin grows flush from the worship that is said belongs to her sister.
Truth does not speak to her anymore. Not since the sermons turned to slogans. Not since the courtroom became a stage. Not since Her sisterâs name was engraved on medals given for silence.
Truth has a sister. And She loathes her.

The legend of a giant pterodactyl-like creature flying over Tombstone, Arizona, in the Old West is one of the most enduring and mysterious tales of American folklore. This story, often referred to as the "Tombstone Thunderbird," captures the imagination not only because of its association with a time of cowboys and frontier mythology but also because it suggests the possibility of prehistoric creatures surviving into the modern era. Explore the mix of folklore, cryptid theories, and the Wild West, as this enduring story continues to spark intrigue and debate. #TombstoneThunderbird #OldWestMystery #CryptidFolklore #PterodactylLegend #WildWestLore #AmericanMythology #ThunderbirdTales #PrehistoricMystery #TombstoneMyths #FrontierCryptid Disclaimer: This video contains certain footage and images generated using AI technology.

Zorro Legendary Adventures #1

Zorro Legendary Adventures #1 American Mythology Productions 2018 Zorro Burns the Boards Originally in Le Journal De Mickey #1195 The Betrayal of Garcia Originally in Le Journal De Mickey #1197 Prisoner Originally in Le Journal De Mickey #1249 Written by Jean-Marie Nadaud English Script by Mike Wolfer Illustrated by Robert Rigot Translation & Lettered by Natalie Jane    The legend of Zorro is well-known in all corners of the world. Fans from every country have thrilled alongside the incredible adventures of the original masked hero. American Mythology is proud to present Zorro Legendary Adventures which presents an authentic approach to the heroic exploits of Zorro. These stories have never been seen in English and deliver unmatched action with beautiful illustration.    Why is this something you need to have in your life? Simple this is old school comic book storytelling and itâs what influenced creators until here we are. Granted this is from 1975 France, but hey it is an example of what these characters have meant to people and how itâs all been influential. I read this and actually geeked out because there is something about the way this was done that hits you in the feels deep in the soul. As comics continue to advance and grow and gain new readers as well as younger ones the history behind the industry gets lost. Old characters are recycled into something new and they change them for the times instead of truly honouring them. That the folks at American Mythology are bringing this to us to show the world that itâs books like this that paved the way to what we see now. Ironically enough it is really not different to what we see today.   That each story was in a different issue and is collected here the way they are is really well done as each chapter bleeds beautifully into the next and it feels like they were meant to be in a single issue. Surprisingly enough as I was reading this I kept thinking of James West, Wild Wild West fame, the outfits and the way the characters look has that tone and feel to them. Also in the way the adventures are being told as well since there is always some bad guy who needs to be dealt with so the people can live free, free from fear or a tyrant or something. So a plan is made and a deception unfolds then thereâs a fight and itâs all over. A neat tidy story that is well told this is the picture of efficiency.   The interior artwork is delightful to me. Robert has a wonderful eye for storytelling as we see through the angles and perspective we see in the panels. I love that the panels tend to be filled (to Rim with Brim) up and backgrounds are so prolific. It feels like that the more that was shown the better and it really makes things feel a lot larger than they were. Oh and the colours here are sensational to see even if what we see and where doesnât make any sense. The linework here is gorgeous and the faces are so expressive and overall the way itâs been done to bring it all to life should put a smile on your face with how fun and charming it is. â   Maybe itâs just me but everyone should be reading this or at the very least aware of it. To see the French take on Zorro from 1975 to have it feel so vibrant and alive and as entertaining today as anything else youâll read is sensational. It is also a testament to the timelessness of good, strong storytelling. So if your store isnât stocking this tell them you want them to. Celebrate the past and see how that work is so prevalent in todayâs new books.

I love romance! Never made it a secret. I've always wanted write 'em and to paint or draw romance covers. Hey, we call got our thing--no judge! Starting off the New Year getting to do just that..well, kinda. Zorro was my guy. I watch all the Zorro movies--from Tyrone Power, Guy Williams, Frank Langelia (LOVED his Dracula!) Antonio Bandaras and yeah...I would love to see more of Anthony Hopins' Zorro! So I get to draw Zorro sketch covers! Yep, I'll throw in a little romance, too! Don't worry, there'll be plenty of Zorro on his trusty horse--Tornado! So go to your comic shop retailer, grab the current Previews flip to the American Mythology ( @americanmytho ) section and point out all the goodies she/he needs to order from them: Rocky and Bullwinkle, Underdog, Pink Panther, Carson of Venus and yes, the Zorro sketch covers!! Molly and I stopped by a local comic shop @godsandmonsters coming back from Universal and grabbed a Previews catalog. Check 'em out when your in O-town!
