Blackmoor reading list

[Havard]

Great thread idea!

A couple of items:

Herbert, Frank: Dune
- Good inspiration for how I see the culture of the Peshwah. The Fremen's view of the Shai-Hulud as the manifestations of God, could well be replaced by the Peshwah view of dragons...

Howard, Robert E: Conan (Any):
- For things like Marfeldt the Barbarian, Duchy of the Peaks, and Howard's take on the Cthulhu Myth for various dark elements hiding in Blackmoor's Shadows. Tower of the Elephant for sci fi links.

Ashton Smith, Clark (Any):
- For the fantasy take on the Cthulhu Mythos (Egg of Coot etc) and any story with Tsaothoggua in particular for the Order of the Frog.

Mignola, Mike: Hellboy
- Has lots and lots of really nasty frog creatures, Cthulhoid demons etc

Mignola, Mike: BPRD
- As with Hellboy.

Claremont, Chris: Uncanny X-Men #116
-To Save the Savage Land. Or really any Marvel Comic dealing with the Savage Land. Pteranodon Riders, dinosaurs, Savages etc.

Van Jensen, Jean & Rosiński, Grzegorz:
-Thorgal the Barbarian - Good example of combination of Norse Mythology Atlantean myths and science fiction.
