Early Influences.

[Carlsborg Expert]

I know this is really cheeky(slaps cheeks with full palms and goes :0.....)But I couldn't resist showing you all the original Enterprise and what a piccy it is!

So I reckon Im gonna call this thread Early influences and try to find out if any independent comics have research or influentual historical icons to show too.

Or I was hoping; (Rennie, Spur, PJ, Rufus)2000ad has some archives of charactors,vessels or environments they could tell us fans were their influence to particular stories.

I wasn't too impressed by her SD tale Bad Timing (It had a good idea as a plot, but the writing was pretty poor).

Attaboy blast!

Very interested am I.

Seeing what arc writers/artists/ANYBODY really,derive their ideas from.

In studying it I may be able to settle with my own.

Or others.

Some of the early 2000AD stories wore their influences quite blatantly on their sleeves: It's quite well known that Judge Dredd was based (in part, at least) on Dirty Harry. Skizz was based heavily on ET. Slaine was an attempt at a historically accurate(ish) Conan.

More recently, Cursed Earth Koburn was based on Ezquerra's own earlier character Major Eazy, who in turn was based on actor James Coburn. Jack Point is an amalgam of any number of film noir cliches, given a Mega-City twist. Low Life's Dirty Frank looks pretty much like Alan Moore, give or take an eye...

Yuh,Bast, Yuh, but more is likely the tooth and many before it have periods in ther life that stuck with thum and pored into the comic form we all know and accept today!

So tell us the history an' maybe teach us somthin'
