Oh My Gooooooooooooooood! I don’t belieeeeeeve it! This is SUCH a surprise! There are so many amaaaaaaaaaazing Blogsprites out there… it’s an incredible honour just to be nominated for this award.
I‘d like to thank Stephen King for frightening the pants off me with Salem’s Lot and Dr. Who for giving me that unhealthy obsession with sinister marionettes.
Thanks to Usborne Books’ Mysteries Of The Unknown for the sleepless nights and stop-motion animation for being so absolutely insidious.
Most of all I’d like to thank J.E. Lattimer of Arcane Arrangements for presenting me with The Gargie Award!!!!
Thank you… thank you so much…

Dante’s Divine Comedy ~ A Graphic Novel By Seymour Chwast

Students of English Literature should be eternally grateful for this Graphic Novel adaptation of a core curriculum classic.
The simple black and white noir-style graphics contemporise the satirical content whilst aiding differentiation between the many realms and circles in Dante’s compelling trawl through a unique afterlife.
Chwast’s vision is a brief and entertaining read that may just inspire you to seek out – and perhaps better appreciate – Dante’s original.
More Graphic Novel interpretations of Literary Classics please!

Jack’s Back ~ Johnny Depp Confirms Pirates Of The Caribbean 5
Posted in Movies, tagged Captain Jack Sparrow, Disney, Jeff Nathanson, Johnny Depp, Movie Releases 2015, Pirates of the Caribbean, Pirates Of The Caribbean 5, Star Wars Episode VII on January 16, 2013| 7 Comments »
Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides may have underwhelmed the critics but its hefty box-office haul, not to mention the durability of Depp’s now iconic pirate, has secured a sequel.
Captain Jack Sparrow’s as yet unnamed fifth outing, rumoured to be scripted by Men In Black 3’s Jeff Nathanson, may lack both director and cast but is scheduled for release in July 2015.
The 2015 summer schedule is packed with potential big-hitters including the return of The Star Wars Saga with Episode VII, Avatar 2, D.C’s Justice League and sequels for Mission Impossible, The Hunger Games, Tintin and more! It’s hard to imagine Captain Jack not wanting a share of that booty
