Help For Ted White
Ted White was a well-known sci-fi fan who became a well-known sci-fi author and editor, winning the Hugo Award and at one time editing HEAVY METAL. Now, at age 79, his son died recently and he's on the verge of losing the house his parents literally had built back in 1935. He's asking for help. We're perpetually broke but I managed to find 50 bucks to donate. How about you? Click the top link below to go to the campaign, the other to find out more about Ted White.https://www.gofundme.com/44r62-save-my-house

Many of us first discovered Ted White through the 1960s CAPTAIN AMERICA novel above.

Fu Manchu For Mayor
Here's some news on an interesting ad campaign for Christopher Lee's firs Fu Manchu film in 1965. The newspaper ad above shows just how popular the ads were as it shows the posters for sale in 1967, a full two years later!

Fu Manchu
I've just gotten the assignment to write a big piece about the MASTER OF KUNG FU comic book so I'm about to immerse myself in the dreaded, politically incorrect, Fu Manchu, without whom Shang-Chi would have been a very different character.
