70s ZINE ART

The faceless hooded character with flute was an inked drawing I did as a freshman in high school. Rest of the collage are by a variety of artists.

Article by Ken Meyer Jr. covering the amateur publication by the late Capt. David Heath Jr. from the 70's and early 80's devoted to SF/Fantasy comic art. Gilbert Hernandez, Dan Clowes, and many others who currently work as professionals graced the pages of such small run publications.

"Rafael Kayanan was not really associated with any one fanzine… he was all over the place, if in small quantities. He got his start in fandom like many of us, myself included, through Alan Light’s The Buyer’s Guide..."

"The R&D is the child of two tomahawk titans. Rafael Kayanan of Sayoc Tactical Group and Daniel Winkler an accomplished bladesmith. "

" No other weapon of the same size can generate as much force with a short stroke in an enclosed space. Period. If a bad guy gets in your entry stack, you can’t shoot him without endangering your teammates; and a knife is a slow kill. If you really want to get someone off your teammate in a hurry, there’s nothing deadlier than the spike of a tomahawk to the head. Small and short might not look as cool, but they do the bloody job a confined space. " Rob Curtis, Military Times

INTUITIVE WARRIOR

On the right is a link to Michael Jaco's book The INTUITIVE WARRIOR. I rarely promote books on this blog, but I first met MIke when he was training edged weapons with us as a great representative of the elite Navy SEALs. He also shared with our group some of his philosophy and outlook on the warrior mindset. The best way to understand where Mike is coming from is to read a bit about the man and his experience first hand. This book is highly recommended. What you think it takes to be a SEAL will be changed once you read where he is coming from.

Just check out some of the chapter headings:

Higher States of Consciousness
Tapping Into the Higher Self
Martial Arts as Means for Awakening the Warrior Within
Love, and its Opposite Fear

Not what most military themed books cover right?
Thank me later.
