Writer of the graphic novel Kill All Monsters. Podcaster.
Maybe I'm just being a bit stupid.. but I'm failing to see the 'g' reference in this picture.It's not the artist (Boris Valljeo) & the creature looks like a triceratops.....I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, but for the life of me I can't see it. :-)
oops.. misspelled Boris' surname there. Apologies to the great man.
ok, ok, I got it now. The Gryf IS the creature. Damn ERB & his strange naming thing.So yes, I WAS just being stupid apparantly, sheesh..
Heh! No worries. It's a bit confusing. I haven't read the book its from either and figured it was a triceratops for years.
One major difference between triceratops and gryf is the teeth, but Burroughs probably describes others as well.
