This material has been redesigned and much of it is accompanied by different illustrations than when it first appeared. Some material is from Roy Thomas’s personal archives. Some was created especially for this book. Approximately one-third of the material in the SLU was found by Danny Fingeroth in June 2010 at the Stan Lee Collection (aka “ The Stan Lee Archives ”) of the American Heritage Center at the University of Wyoming in Laramie, and is material that has rarely, if ever, been seen by the general public. The transcriptions—done especially for this book—of audiotapes of 1960s radio programs featuring Stan with other notable personalities, should be of special interest to fans and scholars alike.

The reasons for Lady Mary's self-imposed exile have been a subject of speculation for scholars from that day to the present. Thanks to the research efforts of Robert Halsband it can now be stated that the principal reason was the love affair between Lady Mary and a twenty-five-year old Italian prince, Count Francesco Algarotti.

    Frederick the Great's Sexuality – New Avenues of Approach

    History in the Making, volume 8, 2021 Frederick the Great’s Sexuality – New Avenues of Approach JACKSON SHOOBERT Frederick the Great’s sexual orientation provides an interesting case study; one that dissects the nature of power, temporality, and sexuality within the confines of elite Prussian eighteenth- century society. Analysis of this subject is significantly complicated by a deep web of adolescent repression which culminated in a level of prudence that still leaves modern scholars without a conclusive definition of Frederick’s sexuality.1 The sexuality of any human forms an important portion of their personality. Ignoring this facet for the sake of a convenient narrative is detrimental to understanding historical characters and the decisions they make.2 Examining how Frederick expressed his sexuality and the inferences this renders about his character will generate a more nuanced understanding without being confined in a broad categorisation as a homosexual. For Frederick, this aspect has been neglected in no small part due to methods he undertook to hide portions of his nature from contemporaries and his legacy. A thorough investigation of the sexuality of Frederick the Great and its interrelations with his personality is therefore long overdue. Frederick the Great, one of the most eminent men of his time, was not an obviously heterosexual man. His sexuality, which has only truly become a legitimate subject for inquiry within the last 60 years, has always been an integral component of his character, permeating from his adolescence unto his death. Despite ground-breaking works by German and Anglo authors in the last decade, the research has barely scraped the surface of what can be learned from Frederick and his sexuality.

He starts out by saying he felt guilty for not writing, etc etc. BUT YOU PEOPLE LISTEN, PLEASE! I don't want to make anyone feel guilty! My attempts to trim the mailing list are just an effort to cut down expenses, and not to bother anyone who doesn't want it with Kteic Magazine. None of you are under an obligation to write. Please believe that. Just now and again, though, I'd like verbal or written proof that (1) you still want to get KM; (2) you are getting KM. That's all. Now on with George's letter. Thanks for sending the photos of Sharman. I'll try to have the picture finished in time to exhibit at the World Fantasy Con in LA this coming October. The photos course are beautiful... beautiful subject: (almost-) automatically beautiful photos. If I were to pick a fault at all, it would be that they are obviously publicity photos. And the only thing wrong with that is that it bothers me occasionally knowing that people will have the picture I used as referance material to compare with the finished painting. I make so many changes fox’ character or composition, that I'm always afraid people will point out every minute way in which the painting differs from the original photo and assume that it was be- .• cause I couldn’t do any better.
