The People that Time Forgot (1918) by ERB
Written very shortly after The Land that Time Forgot, People is like the Beneath the Planet of the Apes sequel in many ways, but pretty well done and not a bad recipe for 'how to do a sequel'
Having a teenage girl in the house makes me wonder which inhuman has the power to dissolve hair clogs?
Santa Claus and the famed 126th Division of Republic Clones delivering
#Christmas presents tonight on Earth, done with military precision.
Pictured: Commanders Prancer and Blitzen.
The Wright Brothers
On this day in 1903, the Wright Brothers got the first heavier than air powered and controllable airplane flying at Kitty Hawk, NC.

Bruce J Hawker by William Vance
Belgian historic naval comic series begun in 1976, like a Horatio Hornblower who takes a dark path. There are 7 volumes, ending in 1996. Vance died in 2018 after a battle with Parkinson's.
I'm Doctor Otto Hasslein and I approve this cover from The American Girl of 1934.
We do see Bilbo's heroism in the movie, such as at the cliffside battle, but those are action packed chaos. The real battles were inside Bilbo himself (and that's one to grow on). The spider battle (where Thorin is absent) is long and shining for Bilbo.
