His work is also influenced by Marc Silvestri and Michael Turner. He was mainly inspired by Italian comics before he stumbled upon a copy of Top Cow's Witchblade, which inspired his own art.

Lisa Leonard Dalton as “Sloopy Girl” in 1975 The “Sloopy Girl” dancer appeared in the 1975 re-release film. The original had been a #1 hit for his band, The McCoys in 1965. Rick Derringer covered “Hang On Sloopy” in 1975. Lisa Leonard Dalton is 100% the dancer in that classic 1975 Sloopy Girl music video. This mystery was solved in 2021, but it is now official and verified by Rick. His answer was “Lisa somebody.” He didn’t know her, as had been previously reported here, other than he recalled her first name. He was asked on his Facebook page for the name of the girl dancer in his “Hang On Sloopy” video. ***Update: On NovemRick Derringer provided the answer fans had been waiting for. ![]() ![]() Humanity is pushed to the brink of destruction, forcing them to embrace their cruel and primal nature in order to survive. In a world where every minute feels like hours, where there's no such thing as law and order, where finding a small meal is a tremendous task, the walking dead are quite possibly the least threatening thing for the survivors to have on their breaking minds. The dead have risen from their graves and they prey on the living. Rick quickly has to come to terms with the fact that the world has ended and only a select few survived. After learning that his wife and son have fled to Atlanta from a single survivor and his son, Rick goes on a journey to reunite with his family and search for more survivors. ![]() Not only has the world ended, but the dead have learned to walk and to kill without mercy. ![]() Shaken, starving and confused, Rick escapes the horror of the abandoned hospital only to be met with something far more terrible. Rick Grimes is a strong-willed deputy who missed the end of the world because he was in a coma for a month after getting shot in the line of duty. ![]() The nine princes in amber6/6/2023 ![]() ![]() That is where he discovers his identity, as Corwin. Fleeing from the clinic, he heads to her house. He finds the manager of the clinic, and learns that he was recovering from a car accident in a private clinic, paid for by his sister, Evelyn Flaumel. It was also recommended because I enjoyed reading Brandon Sanderson.Ĭarl Corey wakes in a medical clinic, with little to no knowledge of who he is or how he got there. Zelazny’s Amber Chronicles series was one of these, recommended to me because I enjoy worlds that have complex, but complete and intricate magic systems. Since I properly began reading science-fiction and fantasy books (in that I took my reading of the genre a little more seriously), I’ve been trying to tick off the classics – the books people recommend as foundational texts that have introduced new dimensions of storytelling, or pushed the boundaries of the genre. The thing about finding genres of books that you prefer reading is that you’re able to locate books in the genre a lot quicker. ![]() ![]() Nine Princes in Amber (The Chronicles of Amber #1) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In particular rubber seals have perished, leading to leaks of oil and coolant, and the pack of spare parts and experienced mechanics is likely exacerbating the problems.Īs Oryx’s database indicates, over 300 of the Russian tank losses are vehicles that have been abandoned, often due to mechanical breakdown, some 274 of which were captured by Ukrainian forces. Reports suggests that the 50-year-old vehicles have not been well maintained and crews finding it difficult to keep them going. From the look, the vehicle had already been abandoned, which highlights its biggest problem. It is unlikely the T-62 was occupied at the time. The explosion would certainly have killed anyone inside the vehicle. This is probably because the old T-62 does not have the autoloader and exposed ammunition which causes more modern Russian tanks to explode spectacularly, often throwing the turret some distance clear. The grenade does not produce an impressive explosion destroying the tank, as the operators probably hoped. ![]() The dirty duet laurelin paige6/6/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() There is no other way to read this SINFULLY GOOD romance except to do a deep dive, sinking in until you can only feel the words.
