CENTAUR and such...

<< < (4/5) > >>

bchat:
I like The Magician from Mars (who predates all of comics' superheroines, by the way).  The only thing I don't like is the fact that her story was never finished.  I also find her story to be a more interesting character than a fair amount of what the company offered.

comicsnorth:
I also find the Magician From Mars fascinating, and would love to see her story wrapped up somewhere.  There's just something fun about her that overcomes, at least for me, the odd logic lapses in her overall story.  And her powers are actually closer to Firestorm's than Phoenix', since she can reorder matter, but seems to have no telepathic abilities at all.  It's characters like Phoenix, who always knows what everyone is thinking, or Franklin Richards, who added precognition to his reality altering abilities who are grossly over powered--Jane Gem-35 can be surprised or caught off guard, and that keeps her from being unstoppable.

In the case of Jane Gem-35 (Magician from Mars). I guess it is you say tomato I say tomato. lol
She just plain isn't to my liking is all, I suppose. But I do recognize that she is the FIRST female Super-Heroine... I think.

ANYHOW...

Just a bit of an update on both the CENTAUR WEBSITE and my CENTAUR COMIC thing.

Took me a bit longer to figure out exactly how I wanted to do a Centaur Site and even longer on how I was going to configure it or have the layouts appear (especially considering I am using a free site, Which means I actually have to be stuck with in some cases some uncreative layouts).
I Have got the initial stuff done and prepped. Hoping to have at least 20 characters listed on it before I hand out the website addy.

I think I modified the Amazing Man page about six times, before I finally landed on a design that I liked.
I am still writing the history bit on Centaur and it is also taking quite a while (It seems kinda complex to me for some reason). Kinda hard not to sound like everyone else that has done a write up on Centaur.
With this site I want to focus on the characters and not so much the creators except in the history part (and then again not so strongly) I don't have time to do write ups on all the Golden Age Writers and Artists (Though I do think there is a site that does indeed list many of the Golden Age creators that I might just ask permission to put links too - Which I can't see being a problem).

It is difficult to write on some of the characters.
Like Amazing Man, Fantom, Arrow etc... has a pretty full history with Aman at least or minimal of 33 stories that I am aware of. So listing his every adventure is kinda hard and would likely take a personal site dedicated to him - But who knows... maybe as time goes on. I can just simply expand on it once I am satisfied with the vast array of characters that appear in the other Centaur Features.
Whereas doing a write up on Blue Lady or characters with less stories (Electric Ray, Rainbow, Solarman etc) is pretty simple (Blue Lady appeared in the final three issues of Amazing Man Comics #24-26).

I will do stuff on the characters I have visuals for first. Which is plenty... but I would never turn down an offer of seeing more or all of them - the last post listed some Characters, Places or possible events that sound interesting.

The Making of this Centaur Site is competing with doing my comic on Centaur Characters. Which is the primary reason I haven't posted here in a bit (So sorry for the lack of a status update).

My Comic is going to be an Anthology of stories (just like actual Centaur Comics was) and I will try to fit in shorter stories of the happenings of other heroes besides which every two I decide to feature in the longer running ones (likely 12 pages for each lead - 5 to 7 for back up features).

Status on that is:
1) Amazing Man is partially designed and written (still tweaking it though - Lots of big ole brawling in it).

2) Solarman story is completely written and all the thumbnails are ready to be laid out on actual pages.

3)Black Panther and Blue Lady appear in a feature together (called AMAZING TEAM-UPS!) and that is completely written and most of the thumbnails are done.

I am having a bit of a internal battle with the 4th feature. As I have several stories all ready to go.
Likely contender is going to be Vapo-Man (just cause he has a bad ass costume!... plus his Golden age story was never completed).

The 5th feature may well be a Villain feature (Which I have been strongly considering). Likely short (3-4 pages). but there are so many Centaur Heroes that need to see the light of Day (such as one of my personal favorites - Plymo the Rubber Man, Shark, Mighty Man (with Super-Ann), Minimidget, Iron Skull... blah blah blah... lol).
BUT... with only Five features (plus whatever pin-ups I decide to do),. that only leaves so much room.

Anyhow that is an UPDATE of sorts.

Yoc:
GL with the project Les!

narfstar:
I am anxious to see it Les. You may want to see if AC Comics wants to publish some or all of it. They may not pay but may give you some exposure using it as fillers.
