Hi Tony!
I'm really disgusting by the comportment of a called "reader". If he/she didn't like your story, then he/she didn't read it at all and said it on a forum. As you said, free country, free speech.
But this, it's a total lack of respect of a human being, you. I hope you will go to the Police and give them this piece of trash and that they will catch him/her. A human being can't be apologized with such an act against an another human being. Never.
You are not a bad writer. I assure you. I discover your work with my first subscription issue of 2000 AD, the # 1606. I was, in some ways, "chocked" by the base of the story and I will tell you why. But, I am scotched to the events and I want to know what the hero will do - the end climax of issue # 1010 is, wow!!!!! I didn't like very much the art, for me, to my only eyes, it lacks some precisions (or what I may called "dirty tracks").
It's a clear line drawing, like the French/Belgium comic book schools and I have never catch the feeling with it. But I read the stories done in this way.
The most important part of a comic book is its story. You can have the best art, if the story is weak, nothing can be done to put this story on the chart.
Your story is strong, I read on the forum that it wasn't written at its base for a 5 pages strip but for a much longer approach. So, what's the problem with this? We stock 2000 AD issues then we read "Stalag 666" on a single way. No matter the decoupage of the story. Is it so hard to understand? Maybe for amoeba brain readers...
I hope that there will be a second part, that the Terran Forces will kick the butt of these snakes and these "Mussolinis" human traitors!
Now, I will explain you why I was first chocked by this story. It's about the context. A camp for prisoners as the Old Continent have seen in its horribly hours. I'm living in France and it's in our culture to be against this. They are bad memories. And my family paid the price. A great uncle of mine was prisoner in a camp where the Nazis have practiced experimentations on human living bodies. He was freed at the Liberation but marked for his entire life to his death. And I was marked too by his story.
It was my first and only bad impression of the "Stalag 666" strip. And the only one. I have made my reflexions and I cut the real history of man from a creative history from a writer. There is a separation between history and creativity.
And I'm no more chocked by "Stalag 666".
So, keep going to write "Stalag 666" story(ies - I want a second part, do not forget it !!!
)!!!!!
I'm with you buddy!!
Best regards,
Fred MANSON
