SPACE HONDLE
"...even in a fairly all out action story Craig just can’t stay away from a little bit of melodramatic sadness – and it’s all the better for it. It’s lots of fun, has a nice bit of action and...plays nicely on the love between man and his dog."
Richard Bruton, ForbiddenPlanet.co.uk
INTRODUCTION
Space Hondle! A story almost forty days in the making!
(Kind of.)
I first came up with the idea for this story two years ago, at the Thought Bubble convention, in Leeds. I promised a lady who had bought the first three comics that I had many more stories to tell, and in order to appear like I actually have a plan for these things, I threw out the first title that came to mind.
It could have been a lot worse.
This story gave me the chance to try some new things (new shading techniques, new page layouts, etc.), while indulging my love of space stations and alien lifeforms and all the things that make British pop sci-fi fun.
I hope you enjoy Space Hondle. The print edition will cost you a mere £1.50 plus postage. The opening title music is "Doin' The Doo" by Betty Boo. The closing title music is "Theme From Gods" by Nation XII.
(please note: there are no opening or closing titles)
