DARK CRUSADE

«Ruthless intelligence showed in the brutal face, framed by nape-length red hair and a beard like rust. A red silk scarf encircled his thick neck, and belted across the barrel chest, the hilt of a Carsultyal sword protruded over his right shoulder. The savage blue eyes held a note in their stare that promised sudden carnage should that huge left hand reach for the hilt.»

                      

 

                                 

 

Scene no 50: The immortal and amoral warrior Kane (plastic figure based on Frank Frazetta’s Dark Kingdom painting, Master Artist Series Frazetta action figures, 8 Ball Studios) advances over the dead (plastic skeletons, Biokonto, made in Greece).

The text: From the novel Dark Crusade, by Karl Edward Wagner.                                    

EASY RIDER

I like smoke and lightning;

Heavy metal thunder

Racing with the wind

And the feeling that I’m under

Yeah, darlin’ gonna make it happen

Take the world in a love embrace

Fire all your guns at once

And explode into space

 

Like a true nature’s child

We were born

Born to be wild

We can climb so high

I never wanna die

 

Born to be wild

Born to be wild

Scene no 49: The freewheeling motorbikes (Matchbox toys, Speed Kings Easy Rider K-47, Superfast Chopper No 38, The Stingeroo) pass in front of the lined up patrol cars (Matchbox toys, Police Cars, King size Mercury Commuter K-23, Ford Fairlane 55b, Ford Galaxie No 55/59, Speed Kings K-36/41 Bandolero) continuing their journey into the counterculture.

The verses: From the song Born to be Wild, by Steppenwolf.
