Let me just say, Aminder Dhaliwal is a fantastic artist who I just found out has worked under major corporations like Disney and Nickelodeon – the very fact that I’m finding this out now surprises me, since I tend to follow with major cartoonists on twitter/instagram, yet I found her personal comic before I found her most well known works.Īdmittedly, I stumbled on Woman World expecting nothing amazing, solely based on the icon that represents it on Line Webtoon, a webcomic publishing company. ![]() There are great works from all corners of the globe- Like Indian-Canadian authors!)

Galloway exploits the irony of such confusion in a man who tirelessly drew distinctions between illusion and reality, while insisting that his magic wasn't supernatural but scientific, requiring rigorous conditioning and hours of practice. ![]() "You must maintain your illusion at all costs, because without it you fade away." ![]() ![]() "I don't think you know which parts of you are real and what parts are made up," Bess Houdini tells her husband. In "The Confabulist," novelist Steven Galloway takes that idea and runs with it, telling the story of an artist whose meticulously crafted persona - what Galloway refers to as "a shell to show the world" - led to the eventual disappearance of the underlying man, who vanished as fully as Houdini himself seemed to do when on stage. To the end he would be almost totally unaware of the design of his career, the great map of revolution laid out by his life." Doctorow writes that Houdini "could not reason from his own hurt feelings.

Robinson punctuates the action with tiny chapters that, in a more conventional fantasy novel, would offer background on the story’s mythology. By the time Robinson throws cannibalistic river otters at you, nothing prevents them from being both utterly terrifying and extremely funny at the same time. Robinson skillfully blends wacky, over-the-top characters that would be at home in an edgy sitcom with a supernatural horror plot that draws on indigenous beliefs. ![]() His life is so crazy that when a raven starts talking to him, Jared barely has the mental space to worry about it.

The energy that Multivac can generate from the Sun is orders of magnitude more than Earth can generate from coal and other non-renewable resources.

Over time, Multivac goes through several names as it becomes more and more advanced and omniscient - Multivac, Microvac, Galactic AC, Universal AC, and finally Cosmic AC - but its function remains the same, able to answer almost any question posed to it by its creators- almost. He reportedly was asked constantly about the name of the story, because people would remember the Wham Line, but forget the title.Īrguably, the main "character" of the story is Multivac, a highly advanced super-computer created by humanity to help solve the problems plaguing their species and answer any questions they may have regarding the universe at large.

Lupin announces that he wants to teach the arrogant self-righteous British a lesson. Holmes, Lupin writes, is the only civilized man in the UK with enough brains to be a formidable opponent for him. Netflix had to settle a lawsuit for its depiction of the character in Enola Holmes, and it all basically boils down to depicting a warmer, more human version of the detective. In the letter, Arsène Lupin says that he is a great admirer of Sherlock Holmes. Forced to change the name of his antagonist following a legal challenge by Holmes. Recent years have also shown that Doyle's estate can be a bit gung-ho about bringing lawsuits over depictions of Sherlock Holmes. Arsene Lupin vs Herlock Sholmes (1910) is a novel by Maurice Leblanc. Since Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's death in 1930, most of Sherlock Holme's stories are now in the public domain, but a handful remains under copyright. and possibly the greatest thief in the world. LeBlanc's creation, gentleman thief Arsene Lupin, is everything you would expect from a French aristocrat - witty, charming, brilliant, sly. Interestingly, Holmes and Lupin would actually properly face off decades later in the 2008 video game Sherlock Holmes versus Arsene Lupin developed by Frogwares, who would later go on to develop the Lovecraftian horror game The Sinking City. The story of an exciting test of wits between world-class thief Arsne Lupin and master detective Herlock Sholmes. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, however, didn't approve of how Leblanc portrayed the famous detective, and after legal objections were raised Leblanc was forced to change the name thus the story Arsene Lupin versus Herlock Sholmes was born. ![]() ![]() It’s time for Eve to grow up and prove herself-even though she’s not entirely sure how… But when her personal brand of chaos ruins an expensive wedding (someone had to liberate those poor doves), her parents draw the line.
