Jirel of Joiry

3.71 avg rating — 1,583 ratings
"Celebrated during the Pulp Era for their psychological depth, profound themes, and wildly descriptive language, Catherine Lucille Moore also collaborated with husband Henry Kuttner under a variety of pseudonyms. I've chosen this book as an entry point into her sizeable body of work, as it collects together all the stories about one of her most popular characters, the impulsive, haunted warrior lady Jirel and her eldritch adventures.

Starstruck Deluxe Edition

"It was a stage show. It was a graphic novel. It was 2 or three separate comic book series. It appeared intermittently and incongruously as a feature in Havey Metal magazine. It might have been a radio play at some point? Finding any portion of this gorgeous, chaotic work in print is a bear."

The Complete ElfQuest, Volu...

4.51 avg rating — 2,068 ratings
"Emerging from the same indie comix milieu as TMNT, ElfQuest never achieved the same prominence; a proposed Saturday morning cartoon was dropped following multiple attempts to scrub it for the censors. ElfQuest and its spinoffs continue today, but for me the original Quest, seducing in its slow pace and pastel colors, is the best."

"Not just because I know the author. The Meri Trilogy (The Meri, Taminy, and The Crystal Rose) is, unusually for a fantasy series, based in the Baha'i faith. "

The Mabinogion Tetralogy

by
4.22 avg rating — 1,245 ratings
"Walton re-interprets the Welsh epic of gods and heroes with a decidedly Goddess bent, setting it in a Celtic Britain where the world is shifting from a matrilineal society to a patrilineal one."
