Zeppelins West - Flaming London

[ultramandingo]

.....any Ned the seal fans out there?

Joe R. Lansdale does league of extrodinary gentelmen thing with illustrations by Mark A. Nelson and Timothy Truman

Zeppelins West stars Sitting Bull, Wild Bill Hickok , Annie Oakley and Buffalo Bill Cody's decapitated head being kept alive in a jar. plus OZ's Tin Man, Frankenstein's Monster, Dracula and Captain Nemo/Bemo of the Naughty Lass. They're all gathered on the island of Doctor Momo/Moreau and Ned the seal

its sequel ( also staring Ned the seal) Flaming London has Jules Verne, Mark Twain, H. G. Wells , a forty foot tall ape , the flying dutchman , and a giant steam powered robot-man fighting pirates and Martian invaders!

the ( i hope ) next one features Ned and his pals traveling thru time!

It certainly sounds interesting.

Is it good? The premise is intriguing, but sometimes that's not quite enough (although Lansdale is usually pretty good).

.....if by "good" you mean -
lots of swearin and rude stuff with giant apes , seals , cowboys, mark twain , indians and martians .
or sex with indians , cat people , cowboys , seals , or frankenstein and the tin man . (their a couple!!!)
or lots and lots of fish eatin - pretty much ned the seal.
or my fave-o-rite bit - SPOILER!!!!!! - a giant ape clinging to big ben wile pooping in his hand and flinging his giant crap at martian tripods
......then yes it is good
