Amazing Stories Volume 9 Number 2 (June 1934)
Relatively calm, undramatic artwork for this collection. Tonally it's nice, with the browns and oranges, but is the ship descending or rising? Is it leaking that creepy smoke or disseminating it on purpose? If this is “Subjugating The Earth” then why start in the Arctic?

Great review, thanks!
Brings it all back — and "Declare" may be MY favorite Tim Powers book. Although I'll always have a fontanelle for "The Stress of Her Regard," the first book of his I read. There's nobody quite like him.

Kidd looked at the notebook, at Lanya, at Mr Newboy, at the notebook. "Here."
#ScribesAndMakers ∆ 2026.04.07 — Would your current creative project make a good game? (If it is a game, is there another media where you think it could work well?)
I'm the last person someone would ask for game ideas, but the current project has plenty of flying scenes. I don't mean aircraft, or spacecraft either. The main character is a day angel, and most of the cast have wings. There's even a night angel to mix things up. One has feathers, the other doesn't. They all fly. Human powered flight, but the how is spoilers. The POV flies fast and trains hard, is an air courier, and speeds between buildings and through alleyways like a daredevil. No shoot-em-up, but there are chase scenes. It's a lot of 1st person flight, including flying tandem. The latter is NSFW, but the rest might be pretty exciting!
