Along the way the young spacefarers spend a lot of time polishing brightwork and the humans help a squid-like race when...

Q: Underground Comix Story - 'Twilight of the Dogs'?

Lee EckhardtI read this B&W story in an American underground comic sometime in the 1970s. I am almost certain it was named 'Twilight of the Dogs'. The GCD lists two Richard Corben stories by this title: one in Fantagor #1 (10 pages) and a reprint in Gasm #4 (only 4 pages). What little I can remember of the s...

Q: Second Variety (1952) by PKD is much older than Outer Limits -- did this have impact on Ellison's action?

releseabeIt seems to me that if anyone had pointed out that some ideas in Second Variety were very similar to Terminator's -- in particular, the "infiltrator" of Terminator is completely present in Second Variety. I am guessing no one was aware of Second Variety when Harlan sued James Cameron. Dick had pa...

Aaah, I asked for a support agent from my Internet provider but I clearly got ChatGPT
Sorry, that's all, just needed to bellyache
 
@Spencer Heh. Hehehe. That's just so predictable.
Of course it's probably not much worse than some of the so-called human support personnel I've encountered...

Q: Looking for title of future ice age book from before 1980

MailbyrailAbout 50 years ago I read a book that started near Spilsby in Lincolnshire, UK and followed a family who moved across country due to an advancing ice age. They moved to the west coast of wales. I believe the title had ‘Towers’ in the title. Any ideas.

Q: Story in which only children who receive treatment can become immortal?

releseabeI think I read this in the early 1990s. I recall thinking that the basic premise, that it would only work if you got it young resonated -- just like if you take growth hormone as a child, indeed you can become much taller but as an adult, with very rare exceptions, because the ends of your bones ...

Q: First instance of robots killing a non-human animal?

releseabeThis is kind of grim, I realize. I am rereading The Second Variety and a quirky, almost humorous bit is, "Major Hendricks went on. Off to the right something scuttled, something round and metallic. A claw, going lickety-split after something. Probably after a small animal, a rat. They got rats, t...
