Perils On Planet X is an interplanetary adventure in the tradition of Edgar Rice Burroughs' John Carter of Mars or Alex Raymond's Flash Gordon, though it incorporates influences from virtually every science fantasy/space opera you can imagine, including plenty of Space: 1970 favorites. (For one example: the green skies of our planet Xylos are a "homage" to the green skies of Blackstar's planet Sagar.)
I'm confident that anyone who reads this blog regularly will enjoy what Gene & I have come up with for this comic series, and hope that every Space: 1970 Star Kid will make a weekly habit of reading Perils On Planet X. I've literally been working on it for more than a decade and am eager to see how it's received. Please check it out come February 1st. Thanks!
Sounds interesting. Good luck with it. I'll be there on 2/1.
ReplyDeleteCount me in. Can't wait to start reading it.
ReplyDeleteYAAY! I'm super glad to hear this! I remember when you were working on this one a few years ago (and I likely bothered you about it then). I'll be there!
ReplyDeleteWait... you write comics, too?!? Awesome!!!
ReplyDeleteI've written a fair number of comics, yes.
DeleteIncluding Leonard Nimoy's Primortals back in the 90s.... ;)
That looks really awesome. Really looking forward to it.
ReplyDeleteLooks great. I will buy the collected edition for sure.
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll follow it online, as well - the collected edition won't come out until we've serialized it on the site!
DeleteGood luck with this, Bro, and put me down for a hard copy as well!
ReplyDeleteTex
(glad to see some four-color Space Opera out there)
Cool! Are you self financing the print edition, or will it come out through a publisher?
ReplyDeleteWe have publisher interest, but we haven't decided yet. It'll be about a year or more before we need to decide.
DeleteI'll be there on February 1st and every Friday thereafter! Congratulations on getting this done.
ReplyDeleteLooks very cool--will certainly check it out! Good luck!
