The series was a Canadian/New Zealand co-production between Atlantis Films (now Atlantis/Alliance) and Avalon Television and it followed in the tradition of the still popular Twilight Zone. In the late 80's, an anthology television series called The Ray Bradbury Theatre debuted, based on Bradbury's numerous short stories. The subsequent book was entitled The Martian Chronicles and it proved to be a bestseller. In the late 50's, he began to gather these stories together using new material to connect and expand his vision. ![]() Between 19 Ray Bradbury wrote several stories about space explorations to our closest planetary neighbor, Mars. In later years, these writers would collect their short stories into anthologies of their own. Science fiction was not considered the stuff of novels, yet. Writers like Isaac Asimov, Robert A Heinlein and Ray Bradbury would pound out scores of such stories on old manual typewriters for two and three cents a word. It was during those years that many of the best known practitioners of this genre got their start as short story writers for the numerous pulp anthologies that were around in those days. ![]() Many science fiction writers considered the 1940's and 50's to be the golden age of science fiction.

![]() I rarely give comics 5 stars, especially when they're just enjoyable superhero books, but Madman is special. Mike counts the secret to his success to be his wife, and creative partner, Laura Allred, who is is considered to be one of the best colorists in the business. Other work includes Red Rocket 7, his history of Rock and Roll told in the context of a sci-fi adventure storyl the Madman spin-off THE ATOMICS and his magnum opus, THE GOLDEN PLATES, where he's illustrating the entire Book of Mormon.

The novel is written in a pastiche of the 18/19th century novel, and so reads a bit like Dickens in that feats of magic or moments of tragedy are often described in an almost nonchalant, casual way. But I will also attribute to my reasons for going back to the novel and noticing more of its charms this second go-round to the miniseries as well. I cannot praise this seven-hour adaptation enough - you can see some of my ramblings on it here - and I will freely lay my cards out on the table to admit that I enjoyed the miniseries more than I did my first reading of the novel. This is due in large part to the 2015 miniseries adaptation put on by the BBC, starring Bertie Carvel and Eddie Marsan as Strange and Norrell respectively. ![]() I got to change my star rating to one higher than the initial rating - in this case, going from around a 4/5* to a 4.75/5*.
