Writer Nancy Collins is in great need.
She has taken some hits over the years, but none more damaging than what happened after she blew the whistle about serial abuser Ed Kramer who preyed on kids for many years and who was finally sent to jail after decades of cover ups.
Kramer was well-connected, and the controversy nearly destroyed Nancy's career. She was treated abominably.
I hope you'll share this and consider helping Nancy at this difficult time.

New Horror 2022 - Day 18
"Scales" by Cherene Sherrard (2017)
"Who would have thought it? A siren that can't swim."
Unsettlingly real in the reminder of what it’s like to be from two worlds and belonging to neither.
===
"Goin' South" by Nancy Collins, David Imhoff, Jeff Butler, Steve Montano, Renée Witterstaetter, Electric Crayon, Simon Bisley (1995)
"He has his hate to keep him warm."
People in the 90s really wanted to see these sorts of bouts between characters from different media properties. There’s an essay in the comic itself that comments on the fascination. Of course, this just presages our modern era of cinematic media universes. As for this first issue in a trilogy, it’s a decent setup, but not much happens since it’s focused on getting the two characters into the same room by the end of a single comic issue. I think a cross-country trip/spree featuring Jason could’ve been cool if it wasn’t so rushed.
===
Evolution dir. Lucile Hadžihalilović (2015)
"There was a star on his belly.”
A real quiet entry. It’s slow, deliberate, and doesn’t care to outline the plot for you. But the pieces are there to bring it all together, and the implications leave a lot in question for the post-movie pondering.
===
Costume Quest (2019)
"My mom made pancakes this morning and warmed the syrup. Would a monster do that?"
I loved it. It’s more grounded than some of its counterparts in modern animation, but still wacky and full of heart. They were faithful to the core elements of the video games and still create their own universe with it. The only bummer is that it’s trapped behind Amazon exclusivity.

The Steele Family Album: Volume XVII
We're heading over to the other side of town today, to see how the other Steele sister is getting on.
Very well, as it happens!
And we finally get to meet the man behind the llama. I like him! As does Nancy, clearly. He just needs a more becoming hairstyle.
Although Nancy is by nature an independent girl, there's a real spirit of togetherness between these two, even hitting the gym together.
Which is why Nancy decides to invite him to move in, and share the rent.
Meet Steve Hicks, before...
...and after his makeover.
(Fun fact: I actually love this Maxis hair, and I'm really glad of an opportunity to use it!)
Steve's stats:
~ Scorpio 5 / 4 / 9 / 3 / 4
~ Mean-spirited / Light Sleeper / Artistic / Daredevil / Clumsy
~ OTH: Sport
~ Favourite Colour(s): Olive Green
~ Aspiration: Fortune / Romance
~ Turn-ons / -off: +Adventurous / +Athletic / -Indoorsy
~ LTW: Become Space Pirate
Loneliness seems to be a thing of the past for Nancy.
Steve needs to pay his way though - Nancy won't tolerate freeloaders - so he signs up as a recruit.
And just in time, as he's about to become a family man!
It's a boy! With his mum's (and grandfather William's) amber eyes.
Steve, meet your new baby son, Andrew.
Yeah, babies tend to do that.

Bloggers Danny Horn, Patrick McCray, and John and Christine Scoleri have said so much so well about this…
