here's the first comicon story. i'd be posting my photos today, but i can't find my usb cord for my digicam.
on saturday, this guy approached us and asked us if we'd like to take part in a project. many years ago he found a copy of this comic book called "neutro", and its sheer horribleness amazed him. he now collects as many copies of neutro as he can find, and gives them to comic artists if they'll draw a page in his sketchbook about neutro.
the story of neutro, synopsis: 1000 years ago, aliens buried a bunch of boxes in the american southwest. mr. scientist guy hears native legends, tracks down the burial site, and digs up said boxes. he finds electronics inside, which he uses to build a robot. this robot is so awesome it could do just about ANYTHING, and a good three quarters of the book is spent talking about all the things he COULD DO, which he never actually gets around to doing. then some evil scientists get wind of neutro, and THEY start talking about all the things neutro could do, but they don't get around to making him do that stuff either. oh, and you sort of find out that the aliens are bad guys, waiting for someone to build neutro so they can use him to take over the planet, and that they've even done this before, so i guess it works pretty well for them.
anyway. saturday night, we weren't done with our neutro sketches so we took the book home, where i scanned them. here's jason's:
and here's my almost finished one; i added a title and a little epilogue thingie after i scanned it. most people did a picture of neutro, but i wanted to focus on the mysterious aliens, who took the trouble to make robot PARTS and robot INSTRUCTIONS and fly to every inhabited planet and bury them, but couldn't be bothered to build the robots themselves:
in short, as the cover proclaims, neutro is THE MOST ASTOUNDING SUPERHERO OF ALL. only he doesn't have a brain, and he doesn't understand the difference between right and wrong. AWESOME.
