 cover of second series InterStellar OverDrive #1

InterStellar OverDrive#1:
"Don't Let the Zoomies and Gammie Bugs Bite"

(originally drawn 1993-94, many tweaks and rewrites since, unpublished)
'clan the dinoman'

A crazed Dinoman threatens to melt down the reactor at the L4 Space Station until Flexia, Wayne, and Elvis save the day! A reworking of the first series Dragonman story that was so thoroughly overhauled that less than 4 pages from the first series #1 could be traced.

This book also includes part#1 of the back up story, "Origin of InterStellar OverDrive"

Variants:

The original book optioned by Rip Off Press. They promoted it with ledger sized posters based on a black&white version of the alternate cover, some flyers, and a "teaser ash can" (1995, see right) with a condensed version of the story. They even put their "five issue sell through guarantee" on it, but actual book itself was canceled on the eve of publication during the '95 distributors crunch. (I was going to double bag issue one and leave it on my Dad's grave during that year's Memorial Day.)

Various ash cans (1995-1996) were sent out after Rip Off's cancellation. The ones after the fall of '95 had some tweaked artwork and the Dinoman's dialog was rewritten to be loopy and purplish (that idea came to me in a dream).

Bad Girl Variant (1996-1997) for A-Bomb. Another one canceled right before publication.

Aborted revival (1997-1998), the anticlimax was rewritten and redraw, many other panels were redrawn, and computer lettering was pasted in. Project halted because of losing heart after a hostile reception in comics news group. The art from this version is what is now displayed at this site.

InterStellar OverDrive is currently looking for a publisher.
