MONDAY MANGA: Blast from the Past!


The number of manga's with a black guy as a protagonist are few enough that they can be counted on your fingers. This is not due to any outward bias, in all probability a mangaka suffer from the same prejudices that mire the rest of us men. But those few manga heroes that do break the mold and venture through are bound by none of the tropes and stereotypes that bind and chain down the Hollywood black hero. Creating something unique and worthy of study. And most importantly, something that is all out bizarre fun.

The man with no name aint even a thang!

One Last Ride!


Only the Legends live forever...

These words are very important - as lessons about any story, be it fictional, historical or even a combination of the two... Whatever happens in life, the facts may or may not make it down memory lane over time and the same goes for all kinds of details - but the Legends... Ah, they are immortal!

This weeks Wayfarer takes us into some very familiar territory. Some of you will find much nostalgia and names from days past, others might just - I hope - be inspired to pick up books they've never known about and find new worlds and heroes.

Today we're here to talk about a mini-series from a few years back called "Blaze of Glory: Last Ride of the Western Heroes" written by John Ostrander.
