Off down to BBC Scotland for a short time this afternoon to do a quick spot on the Movie Cafe, alongside historian Mark Jardine, talking about the resurgence in the big, tough hero again as Solomon Kane hits cinemas and another Robert E Howard creation, Conan, is heading back to cinemas too; show is available for a few days on the Listen Again feature.
I hadn't come across Solomon Kane before: judging from the comments made during your spot on the Movie Cafe, it sounds as though Gemmell's Jon Shannow owes a fair bit to him.

Lovely blog!
ReplyDeleteA while ago, I copied a blogging meme off Woolamaloo. I just reposted it today--now can't find it again here. I think it was from 2006.
At any rate, thanks for it--of course I live-linked to you.
