Today's episode also comprises the first 3 chapters of the book The Insidious Dr. Fu-Manchu. The first of the Fu-Manchu series. It was originally published as The Zayat Kiss in Colliers Magazine in February 1913.
 
 
 
The characters of Nayland Smith, Petrie and Fu Manchu crossed over into the comic world in 1931 in a black and white daily. Nayland Smith made his first appearance in Detective Comics in Detective Comics #17 (DC). Marvel later acquired the rights to the characters, and in the 1970s developed a kung fu television series around the unknown son of Fu Manchu: Shang-Chi. Masters of Kung Fu was cancelled in 1983, and the Rohmer characters haven't been seen at Marvel since, but Shang-Chi has, eventually headlining his own installment into the Marvel Cinematic Universe in 2021: Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.
 
 
 
Let's journey back to where it all began.

We had a great event at FanX last week – we filled the room! People were turned away for lack of seating. This rarely happens. It was such a fun performance, and so fun to be in character and in costume. I had a little front row cheering section, with a bunch of my kids and their significant others who came. It was so neat to see them there.
 
 
 
We have five Fridays this October! Perfect for this incredible classic from the great William Hope Hodgson. First published in 1908, this installment to the genre of classic horror is legendary. H.P. Lovecraft and Terry Pratchett have both praised it at length. It's kind of obvious that it helped them see what could be done, and inspire them to reach for the next level. But oh boy, what a level Mr. Hodgson established. I hope you like it.

In case you haven't noticed, we have now entered into a new phase of the VINTAGE episodes, and I'm really excited about it. The episodes we're revisiting now have not been anthologized, and many have been off the feed and unable to purchase. Be sure not to miss a single Tuesday episode!
 
 
 
Today's story inspired a film starring Charleton Heston called Marabunta. I worked on a movie of the week with the same premise back in 1998. I was the set decorator. I was 23. The movie was so bad, you can't even find it now.
