Professor Elemental Is Looking For Heroes! Giving Back To The Library: A Charity Campaign

Article by Steve J. Ray and Professor Elemental

 Dear readers, this article is a little different to most, as we're asking for help.

 Our dear friend Professor Elemental is launching an appeal to help local libraries in Sussex.

 The Chap-Hop Champion is looking for volunteers to send comics and graphic novels to help replenish stocks that were stolen by a shameless bunch of thieves. Yes, sadly you read that correctly. Public libraries have had their entire stock of comics and graphic novels, which people can read for free, stolen!

 Can you help? Do you have any graphic novels in good condition that you can donate? Do you have any friends or family members that might? Do you have contacts with UK publishers that could help our noble cause?

 Professor Elemental and Fantastic Universes need you!

A Letter From The Professor:

Hello chaps,
This is a different sort of note to the usual monthly ramble about new albums and my latest ape flavoured brand of Professor Elemental cologne... this message is about something actually important.
Libraries in the U.K. are really struggling at the moment -  and when I went to my library recently and found out that someone had stolen all of their comics and graphic novels I was most upset.
Instead of wailing in the library (although I did that too), I thought I'd do something positive. Check out the video above, but basically I am trying to replenish their stocks through charity donations: 
If you have any spare graphic novels or trade paperbacks, send them to: 
Professor Elemental, 69 Ship Street, Brighton, BN1 1AE 
If you don't, panic not! Please do share our little video or circulate this article.
If you have any questions, ideas or places/sites/ organisations you think I should contact, please do drop me a line.
It's a modest campaign, but if you are a nerd, or even just a reader- then you can appreciate the importance and influence that a well stocked library can make to someone's life. Together, we can make something nice happen.

Can You Help?

Don't let the baddies win! If you can help please send the books to the address above, or feel free to contact the Professor or Fantastic Universes directly. You can reply in the comments below, or email us at:

 Thank you all!

Article by Philip Clark An all queer cast. An all femme ensemble. A non-binary Dungeon Master. Throw in some quality story-telling and role playing too, this sounds like a whole lot of fun! If any of the previously mentioned things has piqued your interests, then I implore you to check out Mystic Muses. You can find this wonderfully crafted podcast where you can find all your other favourites including Spotify. There are currently four episodes out. Episode 0 is the prologue and character introductions, and I have to say it is very well put together! The intro to each episode is cleverly crafted, with the players and DM each sounding off a sentence to bring us into the game space. Speaking of bringing us into the game space, Adam, the talented DM sets the scene for the story very nicely. A descriptive, yet concise introduction to the environment gives both the players and audience a vibe of what we're in for. Then come the delicious character introductions that give vivid descripti

Ray Wild Cards: Now And Then  is a brand new graphic novel based in an alternate reality and shared universe co-created by George R.R. Martin, the man behind the now legendary  Game Of Thrones  TV show, and the books that inspired them. This alone makes this book intriguing, but the writing, art, colors, design, and lettering by the amazing creative team would still make this volume an essential purchase, whether Martin’s name appeared on the cover, or not. I’ve not played the game, or read any of the thirty-plus W
