Wednesday Worlds of Wonder LOST PLANET "Thin Air" Part 1.5

We Have Already Seen...

Adventurer/fortune hunter Tyler Flynn, escaping from enraged South American natives in 1938, passes thru a portal from our world to...another!

It's a dimension where everybody speaks English (though they don't call it that), the technological level seems to be roughly around Europe's Middle Ages, dinosaur-like creatures are domesticated, ravens can talk, and the residents are used to people from Earth wandering into their realm!

Some also take an unhealthy interest in those Earthmen...

Could "Ambrose" be Ambrose Bierce?

He does know about guns, which no native of this dimension would have knowledge about!

Bierce disappeared around 1914, and Tyler fell in to this dimension in 1938, so that's not too unlikely!

And why does this woman want him dead?

Wha is he to her?

And who is she?

The Answers to These and Other Questions May Be Answered When We Return to The Lost Planet...Next Month!

Note that Carl, the first person Tyler encounters, mentions the aborigine we saw on Page 1, indicating either that Time works differently on this world or Carl (and likely other inhabitants) is very long-lived!
Written and illustrated by Bo Hampton, Eclipse's Lost Planet #1 (1987) was a pet project for Bo, who had already made a name for himself with superb work on Swamp Thing, Moon Knight, and Greylore.
He had written and illustrated a couple of short tales, but this was the first mini-series he scripted.
Hampton’s line art was done on Craft-Tint Bristol Board, used primarily by newspaper comic strip artists for the daily (Monday thru Saturday) strips, though comic book artists also used it.
(Wally Wood and Al Williamson, in particular, were masters of it!)
The textures were embedded in the paper, and different chemicals would reveal different patterns without smearing the India ink art.
It's rarely-used today because the effect can be recreated using Photoshop or other graphic programs after the art is scanned in or created on-screen.
As a result, the paper and chemicals have become scarce and expensive.
But the computer effect doesn't have the "organic" feel of the original paper.

To his credit, colorist Tom Littlejohn did a remarkable job within the technical limitations of the flat four-color separation of the era to keep the final version from being too muddied!

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder SONIC DISRUPTERS "Republic of Rock" Conclusion

We Have Already Seen...

...in the year 2030, pirate broadcaster satellite Little Bopper has declared independence from the USA, which is now a theocratic autocracy.

As various nations (including America, which wants them back) plan to impose control on the rogue space station, the leader travels to the Republic of Rock, part of another recently-independent (but earthbound) nation, the United States of Rock...

To Be Continued...in the Near Future...but Before 2030!

Writer Mike Baron, penciler Barry Crain, and inker John Nyberg created this series for DC in 1986, when the company was encouraging creatives to present new, creator-owned, projects either as stand-alone graphic novels or mini-series.
Though this was proposed as a 12-issue series, only seven issues were published, and contrary to rumors, there was no unpublished 8th issue, so the story ends mid-stream and, obviously, has never been reprinted!
