DESPOP TUESDAYS! A neat update — and addition — to Des Taylor’s crowdfunded The Blue Lotus Strikes project: With a stretch goal achieved, everyone who backed the Kickstarter will get a free download pdf of Savoir, the faux superhero lifestyle magazine. Savoir is a collection of pinups and articles — some of which have appeared at 13th Dimension — featuring your DC and Marvel favorites, as well as Des’ own stable of characters, such as Eva Strongbird and Vesha Valentine. He says he might even add another character from his library, Dirty Martini.
