Made me think of Dan Dare when I read your post.

I enjoyed it for the most part, but thought the ending was crap.

>>2535
Yes, I was more interested in seeing the british space empire than the story really.

>>2532
Haven't read this yet, but reading that Warren Ellis was inspired to write it after reading Dan Dare, i've started reading Dan Dare. It's great, although Dan flies for the UN rather than for Queen and Country.

Needs more Dan Dare.

>although Dan flies for the UN rather than for Queen and Country.
Although it is a very British-centric future. The international space headquarters are in the UK and almost all the central characters are either born in England or on Venus. The two token foreigners are a comedy Frenchman called Pierre and a gum chewing American called Hank.

I'm having trouble with part two, Comical can't open it.

>>2544
Try renaming it to .cbz.

>>2543
This page made me laugh out loud.

>>2546
Yer durn tootin'

Didn't really go anywhere and the "big reveal" was too easily predicted. The ending was crappy too.

>>2583
That's brilliant for you.

(A good day to you Sir!)

>>2532
If you liked this have you tried 'Ignition CIty'?

It's also written by Ellis.

It's based on what happened to the old timey space heroes(Buck Rogers, Flash Gordon and the like_though no names are mentioned) in later years.
It's a little depressing, but I liked it.

>>2755
Sounds interesting but I'm not sure where I'd find it

>>2532
That is a fine logo. Now do one for space Nazis.

>>2757
Looks like volume one of the paperback version was published at the beginning of March, so you can pop down to your local comics emporium buy it online. And there's always http://rs.4chan.org/?s=ignition+city

>>2761
Jolly good. I'm.... er... "buying" it now.

this and ignition city are awesome. Is there anything else similar out there?

>>2761
Can anyone who is in the know point out who the characters represent?
The Flash Gordon characters and Buck Rogers are pretty obvious, but what about the others? Like the Sherrif.
Can someone help?

>>2896
The sheriff's costume looks familiar, some sort of "rocketman" but I can't find a good picture anywhere.
Don't think the lead is supposed to be anyone but you probably agree.

>>2897

The rocketeer!

There was a filum a while back, based on some comic from way back in the day

>>2898
That's the one! The helmet is pretty much the same

>>2896 here...
I should have known I recognised the getup.
THe Sherrif is based on Commando Cody.
Another old serial i saw a a kid.

>>2900
The Rocket suit from that is taken from "King of the Rocket men".
Which I happened to rewatch recently hence why I feel the need to correct you.
I want more retro rocket suits

>>2962
But Commando Cody is taken from King of the Rocket men, surely?

>>2963
No it's a wholly different serial with an unconnected storyline.

>>2964
>King of the Rocket Men is a 1949 Republic movie serial, in twelve chapters, notable for introducing the "Rocketman Character" who reappeared under a variety of names in later serials Radar Men from the Moon, Zombies of the Stratosphere and the semi-serial Commando Cody: Sky Marshal of the Universe.

>Commando Cody serials are sometimes confused with King of the Rocket Men (1949), because the rocket-powered flying suit worn by the title character also became a wardrobe piece worn by Cody. To add to the confusion, Larry Martin wore the same suit again in Zombies of the Stratosphere. Referring to these different Republic Pictures characters wearing this prop suit collectively as "The Rocketman" is a concept formalized on film by Walt Disney Productions in their 1991 film, The Rocketeer

>>2962
You're wrong my friend. Got it from the source.
Ellis based the sherrif on Cody.
...sorry
