"The fair, the brave, the good must die! And sink the yawning grave beneath!"

We couldn't explain what was happening, but we weren't surprised by it either. Cobb was always bigger than himself, bigger than any of us. His call to action rang loud and clear.

“Come now. Let us watch this world tear itself apart, together.”

A shadowy figure of great evil. While he may come alongside you as a friend, his words are like poison, and are never to be believed. For whatever he utters will bring about nothing but ruin and destruction.

(He also may or may not have a larger part in the AU and the Amp Twins’ story than first appears. 👀)

Until the Night Turns (1988)

The second Strange Trails story brought the nascent series into even more esoteric territory. Until the Night Turns begins the Johnnie Redmayne trilogy - the core part of it, as it would be followed by a sequel and a prequel. All of this, of course, exists in a subjective reality tied through storytelling to the series' continual framing device.

At George's Place, a rough-and-tumble leather-jacketed biker gang called the World Enders hangs out in the corner most nights. One of those nights, talk turns to lost family, and burly greaser Dale Redmayne tells a story about his brother, Johnnie. "Dead?" asks the barkeep; "Ain't so simple as dead or alive," Dale says, and begins his tale.

In Dale's story, Johnnie trips into the desert with his girl. The text turns a little bit Kerouac, a little bit Hunter S. Thompson, a clear sign of some of George Ranger Johnson's influences during the Strange Trails period. The drinking and drugs start spinning Johnnie's head, and here things get weird. Apocalyptic visions intertwine with the carefree thrills of the night. And briefly, at the climax of the story, we meet him. Who? As of yet it's unclear, but a figure that would become one of the pivotal characters of the series makes his first appearance.

And the canyon tearing the earth apart was grooved and rutted, treaded, patterned with jagged crevasses from which was pouring forth the fire, and Johnnie knew, it would keep on until it was all only fire across all that the night blanketed, but who had laid that track? Because the track that touched the infernal abyss was the track of a rattler, an old motorbike with its gears hanging on by thread and will and a hundred years of oil-stick, and there HE was, astride the rattler, like a cowboy, like ol’ Huron himself, taming a wild bronco, riding through the night, riding like the night, the fire pouring from his skull and scorching off all that might have been flesh and skin to leave just the shining ash bone. He'd never stop riding, and he'd never stop leaving his track, the size of the Great Canyon but pouring out the fires, more and more fire until it burned all the stars out of the sky. That was what he was riding for, the World Ender, and he was riding before them now. "Don't look away, baby," Johnnie told her. "Don't close your eyes. See him, baby. Don't close your eyes."

Johnnie's fate is left ambiguous in Dale's story. As he said, it's not as simple as dead or alive. But then, in one of GRJ's trademark cliffhangers, stalwart Buck Vernon stands up from his poker game, throwing in his hand, the eights and aces of spades and clubs. Buck had just come through that self-same desert, he says, and he's got another story to tell that just might be of interest.

Keep following this blog for more insight into Johnson’s work through the years.

May you live until you die!

Every fandom has that one weird dad. You know the one. The undead, murder rampage, possessed-by-ancient-cosmic-forces one, with killer eyebrows.

I'll never bleed and I won't ever age

I'll never feel the embrace of the grave

The fair and the brave and the good must die

I've seen the other side of living, I know heaven's a lie

I don’t know if anyone has come up with this idea or not, but I want to state some of my own opinions about The World Ender (song) and The World Ender/Cobb Avery.

The song states, “I was six feet down, but something raised me up / sent back for to lift my curse / I’m gonna get me a taste of some chaos first.” It’s evident that some cosmic entity/force, possibly the World Ender, raised Cobb Avery from the dead. From the aforementioned lyrics, I am assuming the Entity/Force did this in order to get Cobb to do its bidding. So, there is some purpose/action that Cobb is required to do, now that it has turned him into some sort of Undead or Inhuman.

Alternatively, in life, Cobb did something to be cursed or someone else cursed him (the Vide Noir hotline, in Moonbeam’s Realm, mentions someone else cursing the caller with the World Ender.) However, we do not have many confirmed pieces of media about Cobb’s life before he died (at least, to my knowledge,) so this is unlikely.

Either way, Cobb Avery immediately decided to take his newfound immortality and get revenge (and maybe form a greaser gang) instead of following what the Entity/Force wanted him to do. And now that he’s killed Winthrop, and possibly forced the company to go defunct, he now has no other choice but to follow what the Entity/Force resurrected him for.

From what we have seen of the man, this all seems like a very Cobb Avery type of thing for him to do.
