The Other Sinbad -
First there was Sinbad the sailor, famous for his seven voyages, and for the lavish dinner parties he would hold upon his return, such feasts often lasting a month or more. Then there was Sinbad the porter, a man of humbler origins, with ambitions beyond his means and a yearning to be an accountant.
But Sinbad the sailor had financial problems which explains why he had to keep putting out to sea even though each experience was worse than the last. And he was never completely honest in his accounts of his adventures, omitting embarrassing incidents and ever-so-slightly exaggerating the importance of others. All of which, of course, would return to haunt him in later years.
Sinbad the porter's ambitions served him in good stead when he set out on an eighth and final voyage, attempting to correct the errors his namesake had caused in earlier journeys, not to mention restoring the sailor to his original size.
He would have thought twice if he had known he would encounter the dangerously greedy two-headed cyclops, the lecherous pirate queen of the apes, the valley of the talking figs, Sam Ifrit and his All-Genie Orchestra, not to mention the dread Izzat, the fabled form from which even the giant Rukh flies in fear, and the perplexing problem of He-Who-Must-Be-Ignored...
Revenge of the Fluffy Bunnies -
Roger Gordon, lately of Earth - his passion for old movies is matched only by his passion for the delectable, pouting Delores - has been appointed to lead the forces of good in a last ditch effort to rid the many cinematic worlds of the Cineverse of Dr Dread's evil.
The Change is happening, movies have started to intertwine - war movies cross with drawing-room comedies, art films with westerns, film-noir mysteries with Italian sword-and-sandal epics. And the arch fiend Dr Dread - whose desire for total destruction is matched only by his lack of good taste - accompanied by Big Bertha, Menge the Merciless and Mother Antoinette, Mistress of Evil (and Roger's mother), is hastening the process.
Can Roger polish his aphorisms in time to control the changing environment and finally to confront the Plotmaster...?
