Weird Tales in “The History of Science Fiction”

Here we are on Iso-weird-close-up cam™:

An interesting map, but where is Algernon Henry Blackwood, CBE (14 March 1869 – 10 December 1951)? And just to be knit-picking (cos that’s just like a Virgoan), Ward has left out the (d) in Alexan(d)er Dumas…I point these out in a light hearted manner you understand. Lol.

Hey, take it up with the artist :-) As the person who posted it on BoingBoing said, he has points he debates too.

Wierd Tale’s ‘ovoid’ kinda looks like a hypothalamus, or pituitary; somehting that drives the rest.
