SPACEX YEARBOOK

I thought I'd have a crack at a cover for a Spacex annual.


A long while back, purely for fun I wrote a script for a comic strip I wanted to draw featuring vehicles and rockets from the Spacex range and invented several characters to go with it. The story was called The Proton Storm and the 'star' character was Major Hank Hornby, one of the 'Golden Astronauts', who were all  based at a rocket installation near a stretch of land by the ocean called Triang Bay.The person in charge of the base was Colonel Frank Lines and  chief scientist on the base was Professor Lipkin with his assistant daughter  named Pippin.  Other characters' names were inspired by TV series or favourite films.

  1. Great cover Scoop! Love the Nuclear Pulse, the Zero X of the SpaceX fleet! Your story sounds cool. The names are classic. Get it written and release as a podcast!
