Films of High Adventure: Ray Harryhausen

While I understand that the practice of “swiping” (as it is known) is controversial in comics circles, I’m not much bothered by it in the case of Bell’s OD&D pieces, in part...

It’s the kind of topic that gets our blood and creative juices really flowing and is part of the core that solidifies our love of gaming...
