Yet another Strange Paradise announcement, and this one is also relevant to DS. Like many other genre periodicals and mags in recent months, the magazine Rue Morgue released a special DS issue (with Barnabas on the cover) earlier in May. The magazines are finally showing up at some local outlets, and I just saw the issue this evening in Cambridge's Newbury Comics. The final page of the issue is a recurring feature entitled Classic Cuts and in this issue the Classic profiled is none other than Strange Paradise. It's illustrated with a never before published photo of Raxl (as portrayed deliciously by Cosette Lee) and scans of two of the Dorothy Daniels paperback covers.
Very cool that Strange Paradise was remembered in conjunction with material on DS. The profile is actually a reasonably affectionate tribute, too. Most press received by Strange Paradise since 1969-70 has been, to be euphemistic, less than positive.
