It’s not Apocamon, but who can resist a Apocalyptic End-Times Comic from 1973? (the things you find looking for a module that does suffix trees on CPAN…)

Well, not really, but cute.

Random linkery
- [via LMG:] The Thames Estuary Army Forts photos of these abandoned WW2 pylon fortresses, looking bery much like something from New Crobuzon…
Looking up a suitable China Miéville link for that (Rungate Rampant, anyone?), I notice that Jewish-related google ads seem to be stalking the Ocher*. Weird. - Ultimate Eye for the Vertigo Guy is more fun than funny. If you don’t know who Bendis, Millar and Constantine are, skip it. [via same].
- Colorblender is a neat tool for color matching and palette design. Fun for the aesthetically challanged.
* – China Miéville is participating in the British academic boycott of Israel, according to Nir, who was oddly sympathetic to this, despite having no problem insulting the venerable Brian Aldiss, just because he didn’t enjoy his books.

Brownsville
Brownsville is a graphic novel coming out in February about Albert Tanennbaum and Abe “Kid Twist” Reles, two Jewish goons who worked for Murder Inc, the mostly Jewish hit squad that carried out murders for the mobs in the 1930s. Here’s an interview with Neil Kleid, the writer.
I ran a game (based on Unknown Armies) that used Murder Inc. figures as PCs. The story of these Jewish gangsters felt to me ripe for being converted into a Tim Powers style “secret history” (but what doesn’t?). But this stuff is really fascinating if told (or played…) straight.
I should have waited for this comic…
