Chicanonautica: My Art and Career Go to College in Chicago

by Ernest Hogan

Once again, Anthony Romero and Josh Rios have put some of the art and artifacts of my bizarre career on display in Chicago. You can read about it over at Mondo Ernesto. Here, you can have a look at some of this stuff.

Under somebody's ceramic cybervato is the original edition of Cortez on Jupiter with an article I wrote about Aztec things that go bump in the night.

Here's one of my dinosaur stories that appeared in Science Fiction Age. This one allowed me to romp about futuristic developments in South America, and pay tribute to the monster movies that inspired me in my childhood.
