Title: Solar Wind 3, Sunny for Girls and Big War Comic
Post by: paulvonscott on 30 June, 2004, 04:53:58 AM
All three comics are now out and available to buy.
They are tributes to the adventures comics of yesterday (well, 1970's and 80's) and come in three exciting flavours.

Solar Wind (#3) is a science fiction and adventure extravaganza.

Sunny for Girls, is some sort of comic, for girls.

Big War Comic, is a comic about war.  Basically.

It couldn't be more simpler.  They are fun, contain the work of lots of contributors from this board, and Solar Wind won the Best Indy comic award at the Bristol comics festival.  For more info, follow the link.

They're good you know.  But Cosmic Ray doesn't have a moustache in real life.  I was very upset.

Sadly I'm not Cosmic Ray, just your stereotypical evil comic chrono-importer.

Cheers

...never heard of this solar wind thing, but did look at the web site, loved the way 'Solar' in the logo was made up of the old Starlord typeface/masthead. Does the 'wind' part come from a comic cover?...

I'm seriously considering a purchase but i'm holding out because i'm a cash strapped student who just picked up ?30 worth of comics standing order i hadn't collected for 2 months.

Anyone got any final praise for these titles which will finally tip me over the edge?

Well, Pastor Buck Bane's saga continues, with those damn giant crabs trying to spoil everyone's day.





And it's drawn by me.

pvs - how much for postage to Canada (for Solar Wind #3 and Big War Comic)?  Plus I have a 5 month old niece, maybe I should get Sunny for Girls for her?

Hail, Ming.

Has your neice destroyed her first planet yet?  

Yes, I'm sure your 'niece' would find it a lot of fun, but obviously you wouldn't be able to read it yourself, not being a girl.

I'll get a Canada postage price.  It was about ?2.30/?3 for 2 or 3 comics to Australia, so expect about that sort of mark, maybe a bit less.

Cheers

Paul

p.s. Megadeth, not my place to convince you one way or another, but they'll all be available when your finances are in better shape, so don't spend it if you don't have it is my advice (advice I wouldn't follow myself of course).

pvs - No, my niece is just at the learn-an-evil-laugh and fix-you-with-a-steely-stare stage.  Ornella Muti, on the other hand...
ta for checking the postage rate.
