Wednesday Worlds of Wonder SPACE ACE "Yo, Bro!" Part 2

...I'll just add you'll discover why we titled this untitled tale as we did!
(It does make sense!
You'll see!)
See?
We told you the title made sense!
This was the first issue of a six-issue mini-series.
Unfortunately, publisher CrossGen went out of business after the third issue was published, leaving the story unfinished...in America!
With all six issues written and illustrated, first the series' Italian publisher Edizione Italy and then Canadian publisher Arcana eventually ran the entire storyline some years later!

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder SPACE ACE "Yo, Bro!" Part 1

This particular comic series was a sequel to a video game and its' short-lived TV series...
...continuing the plotline established in both!
To Be Continued...
Next Wednesday
Written by Robert (Walking Dead) Kirkman and illustrated by Paulo Borges, this opening chapter from CrossGen's Don Bluth Presents Space Ace #1(2003) shows a nice balance between comedy and drama.
CrossGen published almost 70 titles between 2000 and 2004.
Besides creator-owned properties, the company also did a number of licensed projects like this, including Bluth's other big video game Dragon's LairJohn Carpenter's Snake Plisskin, and Masters of the Universe!

Design of the Week--Space Ace

Each week, we post a limited-edition design, to be sold for exactly 7 days, then replaced with another!
This week...
Before Don Bluth appropriated the name for his video game, there were a couple of totally different Space Aces in the Golden Age of Comics!
This particular one was a Flash Gordon-type set in the then-distant future year of 2000, complete with one-man spacecraft, moving sidewalks, flying cars, mile-high skyscrapers, human colonies on other worlds, etc.! (You remember all that stuff, don't you?)
And, of course, aliens!
LOTS of aliens!

One of the interesting things about this image is that it doesn't feature a scantily-clad woman being held captive by the tentacled alien, making it particularly age-appropriate (but still retro-kool) for under-10 year-old kids' (pre-K / 4th Grade) back-to-school stuff!
Enjoy!
