SAVAGE PLANET Signed with Remarque

Award-winning comic book creator Dan Parsons transports you to the distant planet of Terra One in this lushly illustrated comic book epic! Prehistoric creatures, monstrous floating heads and beautiful warrior women! It's an homage to the EC comics work of Frank Frazetta and Al Williamson. Crafted in the 8-page serialized chapter style of the Classic EC Comics of the 1950’s, Savage Planet tells the story of space pilot Capt. Tom Hawkins. In this 112-page expanded story arc, we blast off from Moonbase Titan on Capt. Hawkins' first mission to Terra One, gallop across the vast plains on horseback, battle for survival against prehistoric beasts and come face to face with the mechanized killers of the Planetary Authority. From his dark prison cell on Old Earth, Capt. Hawkins recounts his adventures on the distant prehistoric world of Terra One. He tells us of his many battles, the friends he had made along his journey, and of the young native girl who was his constant companion on this strange new world. Dan has generously signed and drawn a wonderful nicely finished pen and ink drawing on the inside cover of each of our copies. From Wikipedia: Dan Parsons started out in comics self-publishing his creator-owned series Harpy, which became part of the late-1990s indy comics "bad girl" movement. He wrote and penciled Harpy as an ongoing comic book series, and, with its increasing visibility, Parsons was hired to pencil and ink another popular "bad girl" series called Razor (London Night Studios). Parsons illustrated the story "Luna" for Avatar Press's Threshold #30, which was written by David Quinn (Faust). Parsons provided wash tones for Warren Ellis's Strange Kiss, as well as the sequel, Stranger Kisses. He also penciled, inked, and did cover work for the classic Battlestar Galactica comic book series (Millennium Press); all this while still working full time as a scientific researcher at Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center. Parsons went on to release another creator-owned series: Savage Planet, which he describes as a tribute to the EC Comics of the 1950s, honoring the work of Frank Frazetta and Al Williamson. It was at San Diego Comic-Con in 2002, promoting the release of Savage Planet, that Parsons met Jan Duursema, the ongoing penciller of Star Wars. Recognizing Parsons’ similarity of inking style with Al Williamson, (the original classic Star Wars cartoonist), Duursema recommended Parsons to the Star Wars team over at Dark Horse Comics. He was hired immediately, and worked at Dark Horse as the primary inker on a wide range of Star Wars titles, including Star Wars, Legacy, Dawn of the Jedi, Clone Wars, Republic, Rebel Heist and more. He continued inking Star Wars comic book titles until the end of the Dark Horse era in 2014, (when the Disney Corporation purchased the Star Wars franchise). Parsons won an Inkwell Award in 2010 and again in 2015. Other inking credits include DC Comics Nightwing Convergence and other Dark Horse Comics titles: (Ghost, King Kong).
