Re-Done GA Scarab comic - The Termite
« on: March 19, 2010, 07:57:58 AM »

As I stated in a previous post, a few years ago after coming across some great characters in Alan Moore's Tom Strong series, I started doing some research, which led me to the site, where I downloaded an 8 page story of "The Scarab" (one of those great Nedor characters I had just discovered). I loved the art in the book, but wondered what it would be like to switch out the text for a joke. I had a lot of fun and was never really planning on showing anyone other than the few friends I showed it to back then,  but figured what the hell. It's not high-brow, but as I said, I really had a lot of fun doing it.
P.S.- I did get the go-ahead to post this from the Admins

   Most excellent!  Not only funny, but internally consistent enough for suspension of disbelief.  Quite reminicent of the old Police Plastic Man.   
   I'm working on a straight project that uses old Blackhawk art for a modern team of terrorist bashers.  I'm in the process of recoloring all their Arabian-style adventures and plugging in "War On Terror" dialogue and clip-art cel phones and computers.  I hope it comes out half as good as yours!

Thanks a lot. I never really expected anyone other than my buddy would see it (he was a termite exterminator, hence the character). I had fun, and I loved really having to take the time to examine each frame more than I normally would have. The Scarab was a great (strange) character. Next project like this (if that happens) would most likely be of Zippo, my new favorite GA character, suggested here on the site by some knowledgeable cats.
