This was just too cool not to post. It’s a fan manga by Japanese artist Ryusuke Hamamoto, featuring Alan Moore as a teenaged girl in high school.

Glycon lives in her locker.

The comic looks absolutely hilarious.

There are a few comics around about Alan Moore in his adult male form as well.

Neil Gaiman and Mark Buckingham did a comic about Moore, True Things, from The Extraordinary Works Of Alan Moore.

Alan Moore started a magazine recently called Dodgem Logic which everyone should be reading. A lot of our favorite people are contributing to the magazine, including Josie Long and Steve Aylett, and of course Moore himself.

(Electric Children has some exciting news about all of them coming soon.)

From 1982. The Mysterious Cities of Gold. I can’t believe I never saw this as a kid.

From Wikipedia:

In 1532 a Spanish orphan named Esteban joins Mendoza, a navigator, and his associates Sancho and Pedro, in their search for one of The Seven Cities of Gold in the New World, hoping to find his father. They are joined on their quest by Zia, an Incan girl (who was kidnapped by Mendoza), and Tao, the last descendant of the sunken empire of Mu (Hiva in the English dub).

The series is a mix of ancient South American history, archaeology, and science fiction. The travellers encounter the Maya, Inca, and Olmecs during their journey. They discover many lost technological wonders of the Mu Empire, including a solar powered ship (the Solaris) and The Golden Condor, a huge solar-powered ornithopter (mechanical bird), capable of traveling considerable distances under the sun’s power alone.

This is an interesting find – It’s an article by chaos magician and occult historian Phil Hine on the subject of incubi and succubi (complete with instructions on how to summon them).

“In Japan there are phantom lovers known as fox maidens, and the man who can get his hands on a fox maiden is considered lucky. He felt sure that there were fox boys as well. Such creatures could assume the form of either sex.”

According to Burroughs, peoples attitudes towards these beings may change, but such visitations are probably more frequent than most people suppose. He classes them as a type of familiar (they certainly are!) and notes that, like animal or elemental familiars, they are dependent on a relationship with a human host for their own development. Similar ideas can be found in the Kaula school of Tantrika, where there are rites for contacting such beings.

The Liminal Gnosis can be enhanced by the use of a mirror. The use of reflective surfaces for interacting with entities has a long and venerable history, ranging from shamanic practices among the Moari, Pawnee and Nkomis of Africa, to the explorations of Dr. John Dee. Demon-Lovers may be summoned into a mirror, where they may be cross-examined. A cautionary note here is that Dr. Dee made the claim that from time to time, one of the spirits he contacted – a young girl called Midimi – would emerge from his scrying crystal and cavort about his study
