I definitely wasn't expecting to make an update to this more than two years after the fact, but I have a mind-blowing update: I have been contacted by an IRL friend of Jim Theis'! He was the editor of GRAFAN in the early 1970s, and... he has the rumored sequel to The #EyeOfArgon!
Recently I listened to the #372Pages We’ll Never Get Back podcast episodes from 2018 about The #EyeOfArgon. For the uninitiated, EoA is a short fantasy novella in the vein of Conan the Barbarian that was published in the Ozark Science Fiction Association zine, #OSFAN, in 1970. The novella is hilariously bad, and thus developed cult status in the SFF community. This is all pretty well documented online. What I want to talk about is its less-documented author, #JimTheis🧵 1/
