New Artizan Thrilling Tales preview

[Grimm]

For the sci-fi figures I think it  would be nice if they have a Pulp/B movie look
,like  Flash Gordon ,Buck Rogers or one of the other old style sci-fi heroes .
They would have ther one charm and they were different to the other tons of regular sci-fi figures .
All the old Pulp magazine´s will give you a good inspiration, just have a look in the internet .

thanks for your answer

We also need more of 'Kelly's Heroes', especially Crapgame, Cpt. Maitland and that nutty general, preferable in his bathrobe.  ::

We quite fancy doing some sci-fi figures but it's been hard to decide on what they will look like. We've had a few suggestions so far so any more will help.

There's the french Pulp Novels Hero, Bob Morane which became a Comic Character (even a Time Travel Agent ).



He teams up with a red haired scottish guy, Bill BALLANTINE




One of their Nemesis is an oriental bald guy, Mister Ming, a.k.a. the Yellow Shadow.

That Space Man Jones looks cool!  Is he from a comic?

No, he's one of my characters. I'm a struggling illustrator! (i.e. not actually working in illustration at all at the moment...) ::

Here's another one:

Always open to suggestions guys. I think Mike will work on a Sky Pirate with a grappling hook that someone suggested before.

Glad you all like them, Mike will be chuffed !

Well, since I think your stuff is top notch, how about some Blake & Mortimer inspired stuff. I know Jocob Edgar is Belgian, but he is certainly an true anglofile. His high-powered MI5 agent Blake and scientist-adventurers would fit perfectly into your Thrilling Tales.

Has anyone seen this comic book - Adventures in the Rifle Brigade?
It's quite hilarious and Pulpy - about a misfit bunch of elite WW2 British commandoes.  Some characters from this comic might be interesting.

I just discovered a DVD called "Sky Pirates - Dakota Harris" and bought it straightaway!!  I guess this will give me the background behind Artizan's new air pirates!

Have you watched it yet Dominic? The review on IMDB wasn't great, do you thinks it's any good?

The Artizan Airship Pirates are based on the anime film Laputa: Castle in the Sky apparently!

And that one must be one of Miyazaki´s finest. I saw it at the movies last summer, and it was an excellent experience, even if the German dub was... ah... average. I´ve seen worse, but I still prefer Japanese OSTs with subtitles.
