FUN ADVENTURE COMICS! #13: SCARES, BATTLES AND GUFFAWS!!!


Will Lill's Fun Adventure Comics #13 is here!!! Dig that moody, Warren Montgomery cover of disguise-shifting Mister Chameleon. It sure does set this issue's magnetic tone. 


Mister Chameleon's latest chapter is penned by mastermind Jonathan Gilbert and graced by Mike Dougherty and R. Humble's enriching artwork. 

This time our crusader pursues a viral weapon in "The Silver Canister Incident". Can our hero seize the device before disaster strikes? As fans well know, Mister Chameleon is far too crafty to let any such harm come to the world, but his quest proves a real spine-tingler all the same.  


Issue #13's second story is a new King Jupiter and the Rockets exploit called "The Runaway Guitar", where a desperate, three-eyed entity steals the titular instrument, and in so doing, keeps our robotic band on the run.

Writer Troy Vevasis injects the mayhem with great gusto, as does Denis Pacher's lively imagery, the combination of which smacks not only of Rocky Jones and Tom Corbett, but such slapstick, kiddie shows as "The Monkees", "The Banana Splits" and "The Kids from C.A.P.E.R." (BTW: The King Jupiter panel supplied for this post is a b/w variant; the printed deal is in blazing color.)


The eerie third entry, "Battle of the Dulce", comes from writer Steve Perry, with riveting artwork by Steve Williams and Stuart Berryhill. The story depicts the plight of a fallen soldier during an extra-terrestrial attack within good ol' New Mexico. 

The harrowing (is-it-fact-or-fiction?) account projects tons of violent valor, and its creepy H.G. Wells angle will keep one on the defense--and on the edge of one's seat. 


What a fantastic trio: each different, yet much the same for all the vast wonderment they bring.

FUN ADVENTURE COMICS #9: A THRILLING TRILOGY OF ECLECTIC ESCAPE!!!


I went gaga over Will Lill's Fun Adventure Comics! #8, to the point where I couldn't wait for Issue #9. Well, lo and behold, guess what's come my way...


To kick off Issue #9 (Aug '18)'s fantastic trilogy, Ron Fortier's the Invisible Hood (aka Kent Thurston) makes a heady entrance in a tense tale called "Ransom Justice", brought to detailed life by artists Mike and Aiden Belcher. 

The Invisible Hood, like Fortier's Brother Bones, is a crime fighter content to roam the shadows. In this instance, he uses his surreptitious, spectral skills to tackle a kidnapping case. Fortier's fans will be pleased as Punch by the transparent way this clever, cloak-and-dagger outing progresses and concludes: a winner through and through.


Following the Invisible Hood's exciting excursion, we're offered a satirical, space opera by author Troy Vevasis and artist Denis Pacher, starring the effervescent King Jupiter and the Rockets. 

The majestic, rock'n'roller, Jupiter and his far-out, metal mates encounter hi jinks and ardent adversaries along the cosmic way, in a star-blazing spoof that emits the cool feel of Captain Video meets the Monkees. (Trust me, this one is ripe for a Saturday-morn, animated take.)


We then swing back to a serious mood for Lloyd Smith's latest chapter in the sprawling Ash-Aman saga, entitled "Sacrifice", which conjures ornate, Russ Martin artwork in the vein of Heavy Metal and Marvel's Epic Illustrated.  

As with previous installments, Ash-Aman acts as a bold but misunderstood figure, wrestling the odds for love and acceptance in an Atlantean sector that mirrors the exotic worlds of Robert E. Howard and Edgar Rice Burroughs. 

There's an abundance of combative clashing and desperate survival in this engaging (and moving) submission: one that's designed to get the reader's most passionate regions propelled and pumped. A transcendental gem from beginning to end...
