Marc Jackson's Goons Of The Galaxy

Marc Jackson writes,

Back in the crazy 80's my first exposure to Marvel comics was through Star Wars. Initially I'd pick up the Star Wars weekly that seraiaslied the movie adaptions but then I'd continue on as Marvel introduced me to the further adventures of my favourite characters. So, when I first started to return to making comics and started self-publishing, space was my go to genre.

Six years later, I've returned to that genre (a much wiser cartoonist indeed and hopefully a more competent one too!) with the crazy space saga Goons of the Galaxy! It can be found within volume 23 of David Lloyd's excellent online comics anthology www.acesweekly.co.uk and will continue in Volume 25, starting mid-November.

It features young space adventurer Jerry Jetlash, the coolest kid in the galaxy and his robot pet 'Honko' It's told in a picture book style, so each page is just one panel and my inspiration comes from those classic comics I read back when I was a youngster, classic Hannah Barbara cartoons, Star Wars itself (I see this has the goofy space comic version of Empire Strikes Back) and of course the outer-space camp fest 80's Flash Gordon!

It's also worth noting, I have a character called Kliff Richard, my little nod to George Michael in the TV show Arrested Development. Kliff wears a yellow space dress, enjoys yoga and is a noted gastronome. Nuff said?

Each issue is a stand alone, but will loosely continue and I'm hoping to persuade my esteemed publisher to run another 2 issues in volumes next year!

Here's a preview!
