Retro space strip



I know I can't participate in the weekly competition but I made these sample strips of a very retro space comic and I thought to share some of them. They are clearly not sequential but since they are in Finnish, I don't think it's a big loss. I've applied for a grant to be able to make the entire comic book (or strip - it can be either way) but I don't have very high hopes. They tend to give grants to more artistic projects.

edit: Well, I'll be... They're actually in English. I must have translated them at some point.

I hope you get a grant or someone will publish it. I always wondered who made those comic books and always admired them for having the patience to translate a story to pictures. That is both a very creative and intellectual process. I learned to speak English as a young child and I am sure reading those Classic Illustrated and Marvel comic books helped.

Thanks Ces! I'm learning Spanish from comics at the moment. Nothing beats a good source of motivation :)

Thanks to ms. Amy and Mike as well! I just did a small makeover on the blog and it's nice to hear that you liked what you saw.
