The Solar Wind Summer Special is Out Now!

[paulvonscott]

Solar Wind is the award winning parody and homage to British adventure comics of yesteryear.  Winning National Comic of the Year as well as being nominated for an Eagle Award, it has also won SFX fanzine of the month and critical acclaim.

Now, just in time for Christmas, the Solar Wind Summer Special hits the virtual shelves of 21st Century digital newsagents with 68 Pages of frankly irresponsible levels of cosmic energy emanating from the stories, articles and nonsense within.

The Summer Special is the final issue of Solar Wind and features such favourites as Griefbringer, the dramatic end of Deathrunner, as well as the final revelations of Gingerbread Colditz and much much moreâ?¦

Many thanks to everyone who has helped and contributed to Solar Windâ??s success over the last 5 years.  Artists, writers, readers and friends.

Stay Cosmic!

Paul Scott

I refuse to believe that a comic called Deathrunner ever existed or that you have the last episode of it... It's all just made up lies from the olden days.

Or all those pages will be blank and it will have been just another of my delusions.

Cor!!! How very, very cool and exciting this is!

[-Dunk!-]

I'll take one, and one for my wife too.

 Todays comic ..tomorrow ! at yesterdays prices !



 I laughed when i saw that cover.

 

 A spoof comic is such a good idea.There are so many things you could do with that idea.


 I might have to try this comic out.

 A spoof 2000ad would be good as well.

Peter, you've really been missing out if you haven't yet read Solar Wind. It's far and away one of the most enjoyable comics in years.

its genius so it is !

and cosmic ray's even groovier than tharg, telephone dials are so yesterday.

It's a strange feeling to be excited about a new issue of a comic- it's not something I get very often- but it's one I get with a new issue of Solar Wind.

Brilliant brilliant stuff.

When's the Christmas Special out?

[paulvonscott]

There never used to be Christmas specials in British comics really, at least I've never seen one outside of 2000AD.

And Solar Wind is no exception, this is the last issue.

[johnone]

But why is it the last issue?

[paulvonscott]

Well, I could probably write along essay on the subject and still not sum it up!

But essentially I have limited resources (the old time/money/energy equation) and I can't keep two comics running (currently Solar Wind and Omnivistascope) without losing something along the way.  So I'm going to concentrate on Omnivistascope as that means I get to do more of what I enjoy - writing.

There are lots of other factors, but that's the most important one.

In the future if circumstances changed I'd like to do another comic that everybody felt they could contribute to.  But not however, Solar Wind.
