* "Skyrates" (multi-player game
& (rumored) comic strip) *
"Frontiers" by Adrian M.
Kleinbergen
This comic book is about anthropomorphic military pilots and aircraft
adventures
in
a world of late 1930s-40s technology. Captain Maria Fireclaw has
clashes
and
adventures with Lt. William Longburrow (of a species which she
despises).
This story was serialized in the independent comic "Zu".
The societies shown, the technology, and the spirit
are similar to much of the Spontoonie stories.
Mr. Kleinbergen has published the 93-page black & white graphic
novel
as a trade paperback, available from Lulu.com. Price is $12.95.
