At the Seattle Comic-Card show last Sunday, we ran across a real blast from the past... and incidentally, acquired the entire run of a title I've wanted for years.
As some of you might recall, my personal Golden Age of Comics was from roughly the summer of 1971 or so on up through the fall of 1980. (Or, as I think of it, the interval between Denny O'Neil and Neal Adams' "Half an Evil" and the conclusion to the original "Phoenix Saga.")
There were better comics to come in the 1980's, without question. But really, it was that earlier decade when I fell swooningly in love with comics for life. The books of that time shaped my tastes in superhero adventure, especially that gonzo era of 1970's Marvel where it seemed like they'd try ANY-damn-thing for at least a couple of issues.
One of those experiments came about because of a television show that, as it happened, I liked a lot -- or, at least, I wanted to like it a lot.
Many of my favorite seventies superhero adventures were actually from TV, not comics. I've written in this space before of the various television shows that tried to surf the wave created by The Six Million Dollar Man back in the mid-seventies. Everyone wanted the next TV superhero hit (and, of course, the licensing bonanza that went with it.)
Most of them were riffs on the basic premise of The Six Million Dollar Man-- a normal person is somehow gifted with extraordinary abilities, and becomes the reluctant recruit of a government agency (or sometimes a handy scientific foundation) for a career of cloak-and-dagger superheroics.
Sometimes these reluctant government super-types came from comics. Sort of. But even they got the Steve Austin/Jaime Sommers makeover.
One of those second-string efforts, despite its basic lameness, has stuck with me for years.
Maybe it's because I was an Aquaman guy. But I always found something really likable about The Man From Atlantis.
It began as a made-for-TV movie. Patrick Duffy (in his first major role) starred as an amnesiac man who washes up one night on a Los Angeles beach. He is comatose and his condition is deteriorating-- despite everything emergency medical crews can do for him, he appears to be slowly suffocating. Dr. Elizabeth Merrill, upon examining his lung tissues, realizes he is adapted to breathe water, not air, and rushes him back to the ocean.
It turns out that in the water, the slight-looking specimen is something superhuman. The Navy is very interested in the young man and gives him the name Mark Harris, and embarks on an investigation into where he came from -- but the baffled scientists' new supercomputer can only suggest that "Mark" is a survivor of the lost civilization of Atlantis. Possessed of exceptional abilities, including super-strength (but only in the ocean; just like the Sub-Mariner, Mark gets weaker the longer he is out of the water) as well as the ability to breathe underwater and withstand extreme depth pressures, Mark was subsequently recruited by the Foundation For Oceanic Research, a governmental agency that explored the depths of the ocean in a sophisticated submarine called the Cetacean.
It was all straight out of the standard seventies TV superhero playbook. But the show had a few things going for it.
The underwater work that would make or break a show like this was extraordinarily skilled, and to this day holds up rather well. Patrick Duffy was amazing in his breath control, plausibly portraying a water-breathing man speaking underwater with hardly any giveaway bubbles -- and remember, this was before they had CGI to edit with. Also, Duffy and his stunt coach worked out a dolphin-like swimming style that was really cool-looking and otherworldly. (You can see it demonstrated in this clip from the credits.) The miniature model work with the submarine Cetacean was done well too.
Far and away, though, the biggest asset the show had going for it was the casting.
Patrick Duffy was terrific as amnesiac amphibian hero Mark Harris, projecting a kind of naive strength in much the same vein as Leonard Nimoy had a decade earlier as Star Trek's Mr. Spock. And Belinda Montgomery hit just the right note of compassion and nobility as Dr. Elizabeth Merrill. The relationship the two of them built was comfortably familial, based on friendship rather than romance. Both of them worked really hard at selling what they were given without any smirky campiness or winking to the audience. That was left to Victor Buono as the villain of the piece, Mr. Schubert, who has decided to provoke a nuclear war between the world superpowers that will leave his new undersea civilization in control of the planet.
The pilot movie has some weak moments but overall it's a fun ninety minutes, carried by the sheer charm of its stars and the remarkable underwater work. The setup, with its promise of adventure and the mystery of unraveling Mark's origin, was intriguing as well. Overall it was a winning combo,
The pilot was a ratings success and was followed in quick succession by three more movies. The following season it became a weekly hourlong series.
Sadly, none of the followup efforts had the charm or sense of fun of the pilot, and hardly any of the promising setup was ever followed up on. Instead, the three made-for-TV movies and the series that followed fell victim to a common failing of television SF at the time -- there seemed to be the assumption that once you sold the audience on the idea of one impossible thing, that meant they'd believe any impossible thing. (Call it Irwin Allen syndrome; you used to see it all the time on Land of the Giants and Time Tunnel and Lost In Space, not to mention Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.)
So the episodes became progressively more implausible. In the beginning, I could sort of buy Victor Buono as a cheerful megalomaniac with his headquarters inside an undersea mountain, but the telepathic radioactive spores and the alien water-breathing soldiers that followed were too much even for me. By the time the hourlong version gave us Mark's otherdimensional Wild West evil twin (I'm not making this up-- look here) and sent Mark back in time to help save Romeo and Juliet... well, even a card-carrying nerd like me was ready to give up. The show was canceled after thirteen episodes and it was a mercy killing by then. Patrick Duffy went on to fame and fortune on Dallas and Belinda Montgomery became Doogie Howser's mom and that was that.
There was still a big licensing push for The Man From Atlantis, though, that staggered on for a little while even after the TV show itself was gone. There were several novels adapting the TV-movies.
A projected toy line died stillborn. Kenner quickly tried to retool it from the "Man From Atlantis" line to the generic "Scuba Squad" but it never actually got released, from what I can dig up. Though there were a couple of prototypes made.
And -- the major point of interest for us here -- Marvel did a tie-in comic that ran seven issues.
I'd skipped it when it came out -- I couldn't buy everything, not even back then, but I'd always been kind of curious about it. I remember flipping through the first issue and being impressed at its sheer size. Two full-length stories and a number of text pieces, interviews with the actors and a diary of a set visit by Jo Duffy.
The writer on the book was Marvel workhorse Bill Mantlo, and art on the first story in the book was by Tom Sutton and Sonny Trinidad. The second story, and all the issues to follow, had art by Frank Robbins.
Anyway, I finally had a chance to settle in with the run last weekend after scoring all seven issues from our favorite convention-floor dealer, Randy of "Randy's Reader Comics," for a buck each.
Were they worth the wait? Well, no, not really. Not if I'm honest about it. But I do like these a lot.
They're better than the show. But that's not setting the bar all that high. The most impressive thing about these books are the covers. John Buscema, Gil Kane, Ernie Chan... we're getting a lot of the Bronze Age heavy hitters rotating through here.
All the power and dynamism I kept wanting to see on the show was here. The interesting thing was that Mantlo did very loose adaptations of a couple of the TV-movies and an episode or two, but he made extensive changes, and often improved on the originals.
It helps that things that were just ludicrously stupid when I saw them acted out live on TV somehow made a lot more sense in a comic book. You sort of expect dimensional rifts to be commonplace in a Bronze Age Marvel book, it's not as big a leap.
Mantlo did do some original stories, both with Mark's recurring TV nemesis Mr. Schubert and also his own original villains, notably the pirate Skorba.
And of course there was no budgetary limit to the plot points the comic could use. In the comic Mark Harris could fight cyborgs, dinosaurs, killer robots, all sorts of stuff that was far beyond Hollywood's capability of putting on the screen back then.
Despite an excitement level that was easily triple what we got from the TV version, though, the Man From Atlantis comic still fizzled after seven issues. It must have been canceled suddenly; there was no wrapup, and in fact the last issue ended on a rather odd cliffhanger, with Mark returning to the Cetacean to find the crew in thrall to a guy in some sort of jester outfit. Which makes me think that Mantlo was about to embark on another loose adaptation, this time of the television episode "Imp," probably the worst of the lot. (Which is saying something, but this YouTube clip will show you I'm not kidding.)
"Imp" notwithstanding, though, Man From Atlantis nevertheless was one of the few licensed comics with the dubious distinction of being better than the show it was spun off from. But it gave me that same feeling the show itself did, that frustrating sense of 'almost.' There's a palpable aura of bad decisions and missed chances that hangs over the whole thing.
What possessed editor Archie Goodwin to give the art assignment on the book to Frank Robbins? I like Robbins' work, but his jagged, anatomically-improvisational style of rendering figures in action is utterly wrong for a book like this, as is made painfully clear in the first issue when it runs side-by-side with the story from Sutton and Trinidad, not to mention pin-ups from Gene Colan and Mike Zeck. I can think of half a dozen guys in the Bullpen back then who'd have done it better, starting with the aforementioned Zeck. Somebody like, oh, Nestor Redondo. Or Sal Buscema. Or... hell, pick your own.
Likewise, why did Bill Mantlo waste half his issues doing adaptations? There was already the show AND licensed prose novels doing the same stories. I think the plot changes he made worked, but the net effect was still lukewarm deja vu, as was pointed out in several vocal letter column complaints. (The changes Mantlo made were so extensive that readers accused Mantlo of stealing the plots, it had to be explained that he was adapting stories.) In the days before home video, you could make a sort of a case for doing a prose adaptation, but a comics adaptation, even back then, still felt like pretty weak tea. Especially side-by-side with original pieces like the "Land That Time Forgot" riff Mantlo did in the later issues.
Everyone who worked on these -- Goodwin, Mantlo, Robbins -- is gone now, so I guess we'll never know why they did it the way they did. Without question, it was a second-tier assignment for all of them, and that might be the explanation right there. I can see why Marvel decided to cut their losses; certainly, from their point of view, it made more sense to invest talent in reviving their own Sub-Mariner than it would trying to keep The Man From Atlantis going, especially after the TV show was gone.
(Although after Sub-Mariner got canceled in 1974, they didn't try to get a Namor book going again until a decade later, the 1984 miniseries, and they didn't get any real traction on one till John Byrne's revival in 1990.)
I dunno. Maybe it's just the underwater curse again. Nobody ever seems to really make the underwater heroes work for any length of time. But rereading these comics (and watching the pilot movie again) has reminded me how much I wish someone would get a cool undersea adventure series of some kind going.
Sadly, Man From Atlantis wasn't it, but it was an honorable effort on all fronts, at least at the beginning. I give them credit for trying... and for seven bucks, I'm happy to have these comics at least. Though I am a little amused that I'm having the same reaction to the Marvel book today that I had to the TV show thirty years ago -- the uncontrollable urge to tell them how to do it right. I guess that's the fandom curse.
See you next week.

When did rehab become "cool"? I always thought alcohol and drug addiction were serious forms of self harm, and that seeking help to overcome them was a very personal matter.
It seems the more addictions you have these days, the more press you get, and the more press you get, the bigger your celebrity status, and the bigger your celebrity status....you get the idea.
And each and every one of us who hands over our $5 note each week to buy our favourite trashy tabloid filled with grainy shots of celebs on the inside (of the rehab centre de jour), is contributing to this vicious cycle of making serious personal health issues, seem "cool and trendy".
Is it any wonder that the world is in the state it's in when we pay more attention to Britney shaving her head, than to the 1000's killed daily in places like Darfur.
What's happened to our perspective?

Slowly but surely!
I'm slowly but surely adding features to the build page, (see the change log).
A couple of days ago I found an app' I had forgotten the name of and couldn't therefore find – 'BookletImposer'. This lovely little app' helps when publishing books as it can rearrange the pages in order that you can print without having to manually shuffle the pages in order that they print in the correct order for binding. This app' compliments Scribus nicely!
Today, I have added a repo' that will provide the latest stable version of Inkscape. There are some nice new tools in the latest version which we just don't get to see for many months in the standard repo's 🙁
GIMP has just released a shiny new version too, but as of now I can't find a repo' for the latest version. I will keep an eye on launchpad! 🙂

Here is a very quick thank you card I made for the radiation oncologist John works with who cut the cancer out (I made an extra one just because). Johns biggest concer was that I didn't make it "girly." Well, with about 7 minutes and using only scrap paper, scrap ribbon, some scalloped scizzors, my paper trimmer and a thank you stamp, I pulled these off. I'm happy with them. They're simple, but still good :)

Expert-Led Group Tour
This Peru adventure holiday encompasses the stunning scenery, rich culture, cuisine, and history of Peru. Drive your own expedition 4 x4 vehicle on a 17-day adventure around northern Peru with routes spanning the most spectacular mountain ranges and roads that Peru has to offer. Explore the fascinating yet little visited pre-Inca archaeological sites of northern Peru combined with the snow-capped mountains of the Cordillera Blanca.
Self-driving allows exploration way beyond the normal tourist path and makes for an unforgettable adventure. A guide vehicle will accompany throughout the trip providing communication services, local liaison and back up for driving if needed.
The first part of this trip is based in central Peru around the Cordillera Blanca mountain range. Begin your adventure in Lima, and then head north through the coastal desert to Chiquian. Continue to the UNESCO archaeological site at Chavin which dates back to 1200BC. It is a special site with a large central ceremonial square and a system of underground caves and tunnels. From Chavin, head 'off the beaten track', travelling further north to Huascaran National Park, with time at leisure to explore on foot.
Continue onto the Canyon del Pato, the road here is not for the faint-hearted, as it snakes along a path hewn out of sheer rock, over a precipitous gorge and passing through 54 tunnels. Next morning, leave for Cajamarca, a charming Andean town with colonial churches and architecture.
Journey into the Amazonas region, exploring the citadel of Kuelap, the largest ancient stone structure in South America, built in the 6th century AD. It is a fascinating site with over 400 buildings encircled by huge stone walls. It is a keen contender to rival Machu Picchu in stature but not in visitor numbers, it is quite likely no-one else will be there.
From this mystical and mist enshrouded fortress, descend to Leymebamba to visit a superb small museum that houses over 200 Chachapoyan (pre Inca) mummies that were recently discovered in a secret tomb overlooking the Laguna de los Condores.
Time at the wheel is variable dependent on road conditions and weather etc. However, for each day you should calculate around six hours, there are some rest days and shorter days too. You will have picnic and coffee stops along the way.
The roads are spectacular, and mainly tarmac, although you will be expected to do some off-road driving on some days. It is essential that you have full concentration while driving, and can stop for a break at any time if feeling tired.
On average six hours per day, which included picnics, coffee breaks and photo stops. Bear in mind it's not six hours on the M1. You will be on truly epic roads with spectacular scenery. However…If you don't enjoy driving, this may not be the tour for you.
The guide vehicle will always be at the head of the convoy, and in radio contact at all times. Guides are always available to take over if you feel tired or are not confident with any section of the route.
The vehicles are Toyota Hilux 4x4 expedition trucks, professionally prepared for this Peru overland adventure. With smooth and powerful 3.0 turbo diesel engines, and a host of special expedition accessories.
This tour is also available on a tailormade basis, please contact the Steppes Travel team to discuss further options and for a detailed itinerary.
As part of this tour, there will be three vehicles, plus the guide vehicle, with a maximum of four persons per vehicle.
For solo travellers wanting to join this trip there is the option to drive your own vehicle at a supplement cost, alternatively, you can travel in the lead vehicle with the local guide at no additional cost.
It will be an eclectic mix of good city hotels, mountain lodges, historic haciendas, and jungle retreats, all selected for their unique locations and the experiences they provide.
In northern Peru, Chachapoyas and Leymebamba, the altitude is around 2,300 metres, this will rise to just over 3,000 metres on the road to Cajamarca. In central Peru, Huaraz is at 3,100 metres, whilst during the treks reach altitudes of between 3,800 and 4,600 metres.

what is included
what is excluded
Evening in LimaArrive in Lima this evening where you will meet your guide at the Casa Andina Hotel, situated in the Miraflores district of Lima. Take a stroll along the seafront park, find a place to have dinner and retire early for a good night's sleep prior to the start of your journey. You will meet with the rest of the group for a short briefing at the hotel (meeting time to be confirmed in your final documentation).Lima, the 'City of Kings', is a vibrant and bustling metropolis worthy of exploration. Nestled on the shores of the Pacific Ocean, Lima is known as the 'Gateway to Peru' and combines colonial splendour, prestigious museums and beautiful parks with lively nightlife and ample opportunities for sampling its world-famous cuisine.
Dinner not included.
You will be staying at Casa Andina Miraflores Select, bed and breakfast
Lima - ChiquianMeet your guide at the hotel for a detailed briefing in relation to the routing and equipment, before familiarising yourself with your Toyota Hilux 4x4 expedition vehicle, in readiness to depart. Follow the guide/safety vehicle out of the suburbs and leave Lima, for a six to seven-hour journey north to Chiquian. Head through the coastal desert via Huaral, cutting inland at Aspero, where a 4,500-year-old mummy was recently found.Climb steeply towards the Huayhuash mountain range via some interesting tracks and arrive in the afternoon at the simple, small family-run Hotel Nogales, in the tiny Andean village of Chiquian.
Breakfast and lunch and dinner included.
You will be staying at Hotel Nogales, bed and breakfast
Chiquian to LlanganucoFollowing breakfast, drive north towards Huascaran National Park. After lunch, cross into the Cordillera Blanca range close to the Pastoruri Glacier, in the shadow of 6,300 metre peaks. One of the few glaciers left in the tropical areas of South America, it is fast retreating with the onset of global warming. This is one of the most scenic drives in South America.Arrive late afternoon at Llanganuco Mountain Lodge, a delightful small Andean-style lodge, located high above Huaraz. With beautiful vistas, the property sits overlooking multiple white glaciers including the majestic Mount Huascaran (22,205 feet). A Pisco Sour on the terrace overlooking the Andes rounds the day off.
You will be staying at Llanganuco Mountain Lodge, bed and breakfast
LlanganucoSpend the day in the high Andes. After a relaxed breakfast, there are a number of optional excursions (at additional cost) which include:- Trek to the lake and ruins at Keushu, with the opportunity to swim (if you're feeling brave) and spot the Patagonia gigas, the world's largest hummingbird.- Take a 4x4 drive and picnic by the turquoise lagoons with spectacular views of the glacier.- Dependent on seasonal road conditions, there is a route to the temple of Chavin de Huantar. One of the earliest pre-Columbian sites in existence, despite floods and earthquakes, the 12 metre Chavin Lanzon still stands deep within the temple, and its appearance is hugely impressive.A roaring log fire and drinks round off the day, in preparation for one of the toughest legs of the trip, with a dawn departure next morning to Humachuco.
Llanganuco to HuamachuchoToday, take on the hardest part of this adventure - the Canyon del Pato. Largely unpaved, with precipitous drops, the canyon serves up 45 kilometres of sinuous single-track road, with 35 narrow tunnels blasted through the vertical, jagged rock. It is challenging, but it is also one of Peru's most rewarding 4x4 experiences.Drive to the small village of Huamachuco and stay overnight at the friendly family-run Mama Wasi Hotel, close to the town square. Nearby are the ruins of Marcahuamachuco, which have been around for about 1,600 years, but have only recently been opened as an archaeological site. The site is pre-Inca and large parts of the ruins are uncovered. As further excavations take place and more is discovered, this site could one day rival Machu Picchu.
You will be staying at Mama Wasi Hotel, bed and breakfast
Huamachuco to CajamarcaA morning departure for Cajamarca. With huge historical significance to Peru, Cajamarca was the scene of the final days of the Inca Empire, as Pizzaro started his long conquering march to Cusco to take the country. Cajamarca boasts magnificent colonial architecture like the cathedral and the churches of San Francisco, Belen and Recoleta. This is a land steeped in tradition and ourbase here, the Hotel Costa Del Sol, situated centrally in the Plaza de Armas, is an ideal starting point to visit the sites on foot.
Breakfast and lunch included. Dinner not included.
You will be staying at Costa del Sol Cajamarca, bed and breakfast
Explore CajamarcaThere are a number of optional activities in Cajamarca or simply relax for the day. It was here that Pizzaro captured and held Atahualpa hostage, only to execute him two years later, and you can visit his final holding cell, or head for a relaxing few hours to the nearby Banos Del Inca - the historic Thermal Baths. There are numerous historical sites around the city to visit, or just wander the narrow cobbled streets and take in the colonial atmosphere of the old town, before choosing your dinner location for the evening.Cajamarca is a charming Andean city in northern Peru. Well known for its hot springs and colonial architecture, in particular, the Cathedral, San Francisco church and the Belen Monument Complex. In the year 1532 the city witnessed the fall of the Inca Empire at the hands of the Spanish conquistadors.
Breakfast and lunch included.
Cajamarca to LeymebambaFrom Cajamarca, drive into the Amazonas region, a relatively undiscovered land, full of both natural and archaeological wonders. This is one of the most spectacular roads in Peru. Enjoy a picnic lunch at the Laguna de los Condores close to Leymebamba and overnight at the Kentitambo Lodge. This intimate lodge has only four rooms and was originally a house for observing hummingbirds. The name translates as 'Hummingbird Inn' from Quechua, and the hummingbird feeders that are dotted around still attract large numbers of these beautiful birds. Built from ecologically-sourced timber, the lodge blends into its cloud forest surroundings. Each room has a private terrace overlooking the museum and a pond.The journey today will take between six and seven hours.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner included.
You will be staying at Kentitambo Lodge, bed and breakfast
Discover the Kuelap RuinsSuggested tour (additional cost £137 per person)Start the day and travel three and a half hours to Kuelap, the largest ancient stone structure in South America. The Kuelap complex remains relatively unknown in this remote zone, which only thirty years ago took two months to reach from the nearest road. Built by the Chachapoyas, the fortified jungle citadel of Kuelap was home to the 'Cloud Warriors' of Peru.Massive stone walls and hundreds of ruins stand as a reminder of a formidable culture lost to history. The monument was built in the cloud forests, 3,000 metres above sea level, of what is today the Amazonas Region of Peru, and was occupied from the 6th-16th century. Its strategic location and massive 20 metre stone parapets cover an area of almost 65,000 square metres and up to 3,000 people lived here.It has been thought that the Chachapoyas were conquered by the Incas during the 15th century. Kuelap, however, seems to have been left alone by the Incas, and the Chachapoyas continued to live there. With the arrival of the Spanish conquistadors in the 16th century, however, the Chachapoyas culture collapsed, and Kuelap was abandoned forever. It was only in 1843 that the site was rediscovered by the outside world. Apart from archaeologists, the Peruvian government is also now paying attention to Kuelap, to promote as an alternative to Machu Picchu, with the installation of cable cars to transport tourists to the site. Until now, travellers could either opt for a three to four-hour hike, or a steep 4x4 route. This is a wonderful chance to see this remote and relatively undiscovered location before it becomes 'discovered'.Continue another three hours to the Gocta Andes Lodge overlooking the impressive water falls.Named after the Inca 'Festival of the Sun', Leymebamba is a small town in the vast jungle-filled region of Amazonas. Sitting at the bottom of a steep-sided valley, this quiet town is famous for its cheese and yoghurt.Whilst traditional handicraft shops dot the streets, the town's main attraction is undoubtedly the archaeological museum. Built using Austrian funds, it is this that most visitors come to see.
You will be staying at Gocta Andes Lodge, bed and breakfast
Gocta FallsWaking up in this stunning location is a real treat. Gocta Andes Lodge was designed to appreciate the view of the falls, with all rooms oriented towards them. There is an option to head out on foot or on horseback to the falls this morning (additional cost of £137 per person). At 771 metres, they are thought to be the third highest waterfall in the world.Explore the area with the chance to observe a variety of hummingbirds including the famous endemic spatuletail, butterflies, flowers and occasional toucans, monkeys and other species from the region. Time permitting, visit the mysterious Sarcophagi of Karajiaset, located high on the side of a cliff. Hugely impressive at two metres tall and rediscovered in 1985, archaeologists believe that one of the sarcophagi of Karajia is the mummy of the highest Chief of Kuelap.
Gocta Falls to LambayequeLeave the Chachapoyas area and start the transition in the direction of the Pacific.
You will be staying at Hotel Los Horcones de Tucume, bed and breakfast
Royal Tombs Museum of SipánIn 1987, an enormous complex of Moche tombs, still intact, were unearthed near Sipan on the north coast of Peru. The most famous belonged to a Mochican warrior priest who was buried among dazzling treasures unlike any seen before in the region.Prior to finding the Moche leader, archaeologists were met by a guardian - the remains of a man wearing a copper helmet and holding a shield. He had been buried in a sitting position, his feet amputated to prevent him leaving his sentry position. Researchers had no idea of the opulent riches that lay beyond, until excavators came upon a sealed tomb with a wooden sarcophagus in the centre - the first of its type to be reported in the Americas.Within the coffin lay the remains of a mighty nobleman clad in pure gold regalia, who became known as the Lord of Sipan. The treasures found were so extensive that the Royal Tombs Museum of Sipan were established to house the remarkable artefacts that were discovered. First thing this morning, visit this museum before exploring the site of the Moche tombs.
Tucume to TrujilloTaking the coast road, journey south towards Trujillo, known for the nation's traditional dance, the Marinera. The colonial centre is home to the grand Trujillo Cathedral with its bright yellow facade. If you stand in the right spot, the colonial streets of old Trujillo look like they've barely changed in hundreds of years.Spend the night at Moche Lodge, a quirky boutique hotel west of the city and just a short distance from the adobe ruins of the pre-Inca city of Chan Chan. There is the option to take a short taxi ride into the city this evening to explore its narrow streets, fascinating culture, and excellent varied dining options.
You will be staying at Moche Lodge, bed and breakfast
Spend Half a Day at Chan ChanVisit 14th century Chan Chan, the largest adobe city in the world and the largest pre-Columbian city in South America.Once housing an incredible collection of precious metals and delicate ceramics, the Spanish ruthlessly stripped this mighty city of its treasures. Since then, time and the elements have also severely eroded its mud walls, however the sheer scale of the city - which once supported 60,000 people - remains awe-inspiring. A sample of the city's finest artefacts, having survived the conquistadors' frenzied looting, can be seen in nearby museums.Trujillo was founded in 1534, named after Francisco Pizarro's native town in Spain. The town and surrounding area abounds in pre-Columbian sites, particularly the impressive ruins of Chan Chan, the largest adobe city in the world. The city also has a large number of old churches and colonial homes, plus cathedral, convents and monasteries. In addition there are good local beaches within easy reach and good surfing possibilities.
Explore CaralToday travel to the 5,000-year-old UNESCO citadel of Caral, the oldest city in the Americas. Only rediscovered in 1948, it is located in the desert with an elaborate complex of temples, an amphitheatre and houses.After the six to seven-hour journey from Trujillo, along the Pacific Coast, a chic lodge awaits for your final evening. A sunset dinner next to the pool, is an ideal way to round off your Kuelap Expedition.
You will be staying at Hotel Empedrada Lodge, bed and breakfast
Caral to LimaReturn to the hustle and bustle of Lima after a late breakfast and arrive in time for a late ceviche seafood farewell lunch at a well-known local speciality restaurant. The drive will be between four and five hours depending on traffic in Lima.
LimaDepending on your flight times, there will be some free time today. Nearby, there are shopping and lunch options overlooking the ocean at Larcomar, a smart cliff-top development of designer shops and restaurants.
Breakfast included.

The device is fueled by the Exynos 7420 64-bit octa-core SoC, one of the most powerful mobile chips currently available out there.

Brains behind "Er Cervello" by Mira, a female street artist in MIA
For more inspiration and art, follow @er_cervello on Instagram.
Mira is an Italian-American artist living in Miami. Her art is described as mixed media pop art. She incorporates elements and texture to her art through wheat paste, acrylic and spray paint. Having been inspired from graffiti scribbles and street art in Rome, Mira seeks to maintain an urban touch to her art by adding graffiti like features such as drips, scribbles and bubble letters.
Mira's logo is "Er Cervello" (which means "the brain" in Roman dialect). Er Cervello was born from a dream she had in 2014. Mira has since then used it in her art to paint symbolic messages about life, spirituality, and health.
I had a dream. It was a brain that was smoking a cigarette, chilled and relaxed, talking to me. That's the inspiration for "er cervello", which means brain in Roman dialect.
Growing up in an Italian American culture, I always straddled both sides of my identity. For college, I attended John Cabot University in Rome. Rome is an enchanting city, known for its beauty. It holds a grand history and the center is dotted with monuments and tributes to those who lived and created a thriving center for a flourishing empire. To this day you feel this energy. The cobbled streets take you through small and big passages and lead you to famous and unknown squares, fountains and overflowing beauty.
During the school days, as I walked to and from classes, I always noted the graffiti, paintings, and etchings all over the streets. Actually, the word graffiti comes from the Italian word graffio, which means scratch. Rome is known for its street art , and I was starting to get a flavor of that during my college years. I always wanted to be a part of it, but how? When? Where?
As I become more and more fascinated with this world of art and the streets, I decided it was time. I bought I couple of spray cans and began tagging around town. Small drawings, letting the spray, and evening energy lead the way. It was fun, exhilarating and I was hooked.
Fast forward 3 years. I returned to the US, where I grew up. An opportunity presented itself in Miami, so I went. Miami is the mecca of street art. Well-known and respected street artist come and paint here. The fact that a job called me to this city, doubled with the art factor, made me realize I had to go.
Slowly, slowly, I entered the world of street art. I met friends who guided my artistic instincts and gave me the low-down on the "street art code of conduct".
Kind of like Biggie's 10 Crack Commandments, there is something similar for street artist.
1. Don't tag/draw/paint/paste over someone else's work
2. Collaboration is good especially when building your credibility as an artist
3. Wheat paste is magic
4. Be true to you and your identity, why copycat? No need for another Bansky or Shephard Fairey, just be you
5. Be bold and confident, because if not you, then who?
6. Trust your instincts and follow your intuition
7. Art is not prejudice, don't let anyone define what is good or not
8. Graphic art school helps, but is not needed
9. Network as much as possible with people who support art
10. Don't forget where you come from and why you started to paint in the first place
This moment was a turning point in my life. I was going through a drastic changeg, having left Italy, where I had lived for 10 years, ending a serious relationship and starting a fresh chapter in a new city. I was exploring and creating my identity and art was facilitating that process.
Er Cervello became my tag. Together with Rigo Leon (@rigoleonart) we worked on some murals around the city. One of my favorites was at the La Piazzetta, where we did a large mural together of a vintage girl riding a Vespa. Collaborating with other artists gives you a new perspective and is a way to exchange ideas and create pieces in a synergistic manner. For me, it's a way to keep learning and honing my skill.
Although street art and graffiti can be lumped into one category and take on different meanings for different people, I like to refer to my art as urban multimedia art. What I create and convey is not only something I put out in the streets, it is also something that I create digitally, print, cut, paste and paint on a canvas. I love sharing the themes/values and lessons behind it through different mediums which also include spray paint, acrylic, and markers used on clothing, sneakers, stickers, and posters.
My debut series is called "Iconic Women". In this series I have identified a group of women, with whom I believe myself and women worldwide can connect to through their life stories. I research their history and reflect on their values and characters, as well as their contribution to defining independence as a woman within a world that tends to suppress us. There are many women who have made an impact in history and are still present in today's society, but I don't necessarily connect with them all. For those that particularly inspire me, I create a piece to honor them and a message that reverberates within me and today's world. This is especially relevant, given the current topics of women's rights and feminism that are front and center these days.
So far, I've done pieces on Frida, Marilyn Monroe, Princess Diana as well as Grace of Monaco, Aretha Franklin, Maya Angelou and Jackie Kennedy.
I am conscious that this series may seem cliché and possibly resembles mainstream pop art, but that is exactly why I choose to do this series the way that I did. It is about creating attractive images that will catch attention quickly, as most women know who these iconic women are. Through the instant visual connection, those passing by instantly relate and don't need to spend much time or brain power to understand what they are looking at, they don't have to sit in a gallery staring at each piece trying to understand the message.
Like many others out there, I would love to dedicate my time fully to art. However, for the moment, it is my side hustle that I'm fitting into my life on evenings and weekends, as I balance the demands of an intense full-time job.
I've seen how art has transformed communities. Art can equate to safer, healthier more successful communities. It is also used as a means to uplift people and renovate. This means cleaning up the old and letting the realness and authenticity shine, allowing for the new. For example, Wynwood used to be a dangerous and uneventful part of town. Now it has been completely transformed into an up-and-coming zone attracting creatives, youth and innovative ideas and projects. To me, this is the beauty of art, especially community art. It can pull you towards a positive vision. I honestly think that the power of art is greatly underrated. Our society emphasizes science and math, and push for this in the school system, but more and more, art and innovation are taking over the reins of transformative change and hope for the future.
Some of my upcoming projects include a campaign for Pride Month, as well as a clothing line that will include t-shirts, sneakers and jean jackets. These products will be made available on my website http://streetscribbles.bigcartel.com .
Next week I will be going to Rome to do a Street Art Campaign, meaning, I will be hitting the streets and tagging up the ancient city. The idea is to promote my art and connect with the community. I chose to do it in Rome because it is a special city that has taught me so much about life and it is where my first inspiration for this art was born.

Skills shortages in key areas of the digital economy mean there are many different IT careers available for graduates with relevant qualifications and experience
What areas of IT can I work in?
Types of work available in the IT sector include:
- applications development
- computer forensics
- content management
- cyber security and risk management
- data analysis and analytics
- game development
- geographical information systems (GIS)
- hardware engineering
- information management
- IT consultancy (business and technical)
- IT sales
- multimedia programming
- software engineering (designing, building, developing and testing)
- systems/network management
- technical support
- telecommunications
- web design/development.
Your job could involve creating applications or systems, solving problems with technology or supporting people who use it. Employers in the IT industry also require graduates in areas such as business, marketing, human resources (HR) and finance.
Meanwhile, many IT professionals work outside the sector, for example in the IT departments of retail, finance, manufacturing and public sector organisations.
For examples of job roles in this sector, see graduate jobs in IT.
Who are the main graduate employers?
Large companies in the IT sector include:
- Accenture
- Apple
- Capgemini
- Cisco
- Cognizant
- Fujitsu
- Infosys
- Microsoft
- Rockstar Games
- Softcat
- Ubisoft.
Major telecommunications companies include:
- Sky UK
- TalkTalk
- Telefónica O2 UK
- Three
- Virgin Media
- Vodafone.
The sector is fast-moving and dynamic, meaning there are many smaller companies and tech start-ups that are worth seeking out for job opportunities. For example, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the IT industry provide a range of specialist services and often offer consultancy and technical roles.
Other sectors that employ significant numbers of IT professionals include:
- Financial services - for example companies such as Barclays, Citigroup, J.P. Morgan and Morgan Stanley.
- Manufacturing - multinational engineering companies in the oil, pharmaceuticals, automotive and energy industries.
- Public sector - local authorities, central government and the NHS.
- Retail - major online and high street retailers such as Amazon, Arcadia, Tesco, TJX Europe and John Lewis.
Routes into the IT industry include graduate schemes, apprenticeships and internships. Find out how to get an IT job.
What's it like working in the sector?
Graduates entering the industry can expect:
- An average starting salary - according to High Fliers' The Graduate Market in 2018 report, starting salaries in IT are the same as the national median of £30,000.
- Long working hours - employers tend to emphasise completing a task or project over maintaining standard 9am-5pm office hours.
- Opportunities to work abroad - many large IT companies have branches or subsidiaries in other countries.
- The chance to be self-employed - it is not unusual for graduates to go freelance, work as a contractor or even start their own tech companies.
- A constantly changing industry - as new technologies and software are developed, it's important to keep your IT training current to impress employers.
To find out more about typical salaries and working conditions in your chosen career, see graduate jobs in IT.
What are the key issues in the IT sector?
BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT published a report for digital leaders in 2018 which looked at the capabilities, skills and ethics needed in IT organisations in the near-future. It showed that business transformation and organisational change were top priorities and roles in change management, transformation consultancy and business analysis would be on the increase.
The specific skills identified by these organisations included some that would be fully expected - cybersecurity and cloud for example - through to emerging sectors - such as the 'as-a-service' model.
In the survey only 14% of organisations felt they needed bigger budgets - they were in fact looking to educate and train existing staff. That means that graduates, already in the mindset of learning, are well placed to get involved in an industry that is so focused on personal development.
Other areas ripe for careers include agile methodologies, mobile and application development, the internet of things and - increasingly in recent years - artificial intelligence and machine learning. Manipulation of data is a skill that cannot be overlooked, in its many guises - especially that of the relatively new data scientist role - and no doubt we will be hearing about roles in blockchain more and more.
There are other considerations, too, for example the effect that current or incoming legislation have on work - such as GDPR-related roles - that has an implication for big data professionals, who would need skills such things as AWS, Python, Hadoop, Spark, Cloudera, MongoDB, Hive, Tableau, Java and so on.
