ANTHONYGOES

 

 

Okay so a few months ago I teamed up with writer Anthony Ha to make a short comic for the Electric Ant 2 zine, edited by Ryan Sands.  Anthony (Ha) gave me this wonderful script that was reminiscent of Asimov and Phillip K. Dick.  He wrote about steely business dudes playing hardball over space-commodities and the ethics of their ventures, set amidst a backdrop of man’s early colonization of the solar system. Our story is called “Empire.”

 

 

 

It was great to to do some sci-fi work (which I love) without lasers and mecha (which I also love) – whose absence was a nice reminder that future-space can be populated by the same characters that inhabit our more subtle fictions.  Um, I guess it felt good to draw a story about people trying to make money instead of lasering their enemies.  In the words of Captain Hammer, “not my usual, but nice.”  I want to do more stuff like this for sure.

 

 

Space surgery – uuggghh!!  Happy new Decade, everybody!
