Captain Eco -all the pages I have

 1993 and the megalomaniac "chaos" scientist named Dr Chaos is using using specially created crystals to hold the world to ransom. 


In his orbiting space station Captain Eco (pronounced "echo") receives the call and investigates.

Roughly lettered pp 5-11 and 13 and I am sure the artist was named Antonio de Sarno

UPDATE:I'm posting all the pages I have. I just found one page with the artist's name and the date...26th August...1990!!!!  If -IF- I ever find pages 12 and 19 I will post!






















Old Projects -Voyagers

 I am quite sure I have a few other pages somewhere but, again, in the early 1990s, Beccy Pearce used her unique style to bring to life the adventures of John and Joan along with Professor Randall as they travel in a ridiculous looking home made rocket craft.


I was told, falsely it seems by someone I trusted, that Beccy had moved abroad suddenly. Apparently she had only moved locally.  Never trust your 'friends' in comics.

This series depended a lot on rather quirky humour as well as action -the colour banner is a watercolour produced by John "Sepp" Schiltz

Looking Glass




A Look Into the Past Part 2-Looking Glass
I know what you are thinking: "Looking Glass was the Fleetway character project, wasn't it?"

If I'm going to be honest with myself I doubt you are thinking that -unless you've read past posts or are on the Face Book group?

Anyway, Looking Glass was a project for Marvel UK that disappeared up some editor's bottom. I then used the title for this series, written in the early 1990s and guess what? I know who the artist is!

I always insisted that artists do the simplest thing so they got credit and their pages could be easily identified (at one time I got between 30-70 art packages a week). Only two artists ever bothered. No name on this art but I have my synopsis with the artist's name -Simon Russell.

I cannot remember whether it was Fantagraphics or another US Indie publisher but the series was grabbed and...guess what? Yep, the artist vanished without trace and left me in the lurch. I loved the art style and the characters came out even more eccentrically than I thought they could.

Basically, childrens author "Tez" is not having a good time and is rather startled when his own reflection gets "shirty" with him. Our hero (in the loosest term) finds himself in a mirror world...he hopes. If it is not an insane mirror dimension then our lad has truly lost his marbles.
