Pulptober 2024: 17 - Doc Sidhe

I'm not going to be online today, but I pre-planned this. Just don't expect me to interact with anything.

Aaron Allston's Doc Sidhe is a tribute to Doc Savage, and the kind of adventure novels he starred in. The story follows a contemporary man, who, while trying to keep his girlfriend from being kidnapped, getts transported into a magical parallell world that is still stuck in the 1930s, and also there are magic creatures. Looking for help, he finds the mysterious hero Doc Sidhe.

There was one sequel.

Here's a portrait of the late New York Times Bestselling Author -- and roommate for many years -- Aaron Allston that I did for a patron of mine who knew him. I tried to do this piece in the style of artist Drew Struzan, famous for his Star Wars and Indiana Jones movie posters. As a first attempt at that style, I've still got a lot to learn.

In addition to Aaron, you can see Wedge Antilles who figured largely in Aaron's popular Wraith Squadron Star Wars novels. To the right you can see my interpretation of Doc Sidhe, the main character of Aaron's original period urban fantasy series.

Not included as elements in this picture are Aaron's significant contributions to game design, and the massive body of work for various game companies such as Hero Games, Steve Jackson Games, Origin Systems, and many more.

Always willing to share his knowledge and expertise as game designer and author, Aaron held many successful workshops that set young designers and authors on their path. He was also generous to his fans, giving of his time and attention at conventions across the nation.

So this is a work that I should have done on my own without a commission, and I'm grateful to my patron for making it possible to do without going bankrupt in the process.

So let's remember Aaron and the effects he's had on popular culture over the years, as well as each of us personally.

Thanks, Aaron.

Doc heard three clangs, the notes of a hammer on an anvil. They trailed off into the distance. He opened his eyes.

Joseph sat a few feet away, studying him. His face was as grave as ever, but there was some deeper sorrow in his eyes.

"Tell me," Doc said.

Joseph told him. When he was done, Doc was silent a long moment. "Joseph, when you said that death followed in my wake, you were right."

"I am sorry I ever said that."

"Why?"

"Because it was wrong. Death does not follow you. It is ahead of you, Doc, like a line of enemies. Ahead of you because you aim yourself at it. You and your allies hurl yourselves at it to keep it at bay. You pass through it. Inevitably, one of you is caught. But I hate to think what things would be like if no one hurled himself at that line."

-Doc and Joseph (Doc Sidhe)
