After talking to Kendra Burroughs about he disdain for the 'floppy booties (her words--can't say I disagree--not Raboy's finest moment--esp. if you look at his 'apocryphal' Flash Gordon designs)', I decided to opt for going for broke, and merge the robe and the Raboy version. Ironically, an authentic Tibetan Sherpa tunic and boots, with an added cape with holes for the arms fit the bill of still making it 'Flash Gordon'-y.<BR/>It would appear Alex Ross had a similar idea, albeit with different execution. What can I say? Ross is one of my favorite artists. I'm a writer and 'idea guy' who draws. :D While Doug Klauba, the interior artist for Superpowers befriended me over at Comicspace, seems a terrific guy, and very talented artist, I'm a little miffed with Jim Krueger--who, I have it on unimpeachable authority, saw my version--at Heroes Convention 2004.<BR/><BR/>While I doubt drawing Miracleman and a dozen Eclipse characters over Bo Hampton's layouts for a few pages in the late 'eighties gives me very much clout or credibility, it's the kind of thing that made me give up trying to do comics for 12 years...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09842051384958206944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37355934.post-71802825545656049992007-11-30T16:09:00.000-05:002007-11-30T16:09:00.000-05:00James, I do plan on getting it.

I read the online version, liked spotting some of the other Spark Publications characters and was curios to see where the story was going, so I'm glad to see it will finally be published.<BR/><BR/>Something I meant to say and didn't was I also really like the costume design. I daresay it improves the Raboy version by making it a little more in line with a monk's robes.cash_gormanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04016914226368450646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37355934.post-33256627799424892452007-11-17T15:40:00.000-05:002007-11-17T15:40:00.000-05:00Howdy, Cash_! Jim Ritchey here. While I know you a...Howdy, Cash_! Jim Ritchey here. While I know you aren't a big fan of the reincarnation reboot (really the only way to reboot a Tibetan Buddhist superhero-IMO), I was wondering if you'd actually read it-<BR/>http://www.comicspace.com/james_ritchey_iii/<BR/><BR/>-it's been online in raw form since February, and i hope you'll give it a shot--at least, hate it for what it is, rather than what you thing it will be. I like to call the type of Comics I do 'Punk Pulp', and I hope you won't let nostalgia get in the way of what may or may not be a good story--especially since every original main character IS there, just some are in different bodies. :D There are pages added in the print version, however. You are thanked in the credits on my editorial page, btw, with the help on Stopwach. Again, I extend my second personal thank-you for that.<BR/><BR/>Peace, JimAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09842051384958206944noreply@blogger.com
