First of all, if you haven’t picked up a copy of Fred van Lente’s Archer and Armstrong yet, go do so – it is over-the-top historico-religious storytelling of the raddest type. I’ve done a bit of a writeup of the first two issues over at The Vocate if you need to know a bit more before parting with your hard earned Paper that Counts as Work Done in Context The World Economy (sorry… I’ve been deep in The Searle recently).
When WAS the last time Flave got into a proper throwdown? This bit of a battle against the Thoremerson (half-Thoreau, half-Emerson, All Transcendentalist) is the last I can think of.
Meanwhile, APE is coming up!! October 13 and 14 in San Francisco, Geoff and I shall be sitting in our accustomed order (some day I really should try sitting on the left and he on the right side of the table, but I have the feeling that would implode the universe somehow), selling books, chatting about history and science and historical fiction with whomsoever might pass by, and drawing up the whims of the Bay Area’s independent comic lovers! Come visit us, DO!

Granted, slave labor was a pretty standard practice in the ancient world, but somehow Moses, if he existed, strikes me as among the most vociferous of its adherents. I talked about the fate of the Midianites at the hands of Moses, Phinehas, and Eleazar in great detail back on episode 10 of The Vocate, so I refer you to that if you want to really get up into your elbows in some heinous stuff.

Just like Moses isn’t the only slave-monger of the ancient world, Stalin isn’t unique among the moderns in his use of, shall we say, Creative Definition. But he has the snazziest moustache, so there you have it!
