Metal Barbarian Dinosaur Comics #1: Dream That Impossible Dream

Well, my first comic - well, not my first, but the first with any degree of professionalism, and certainly the first I like enough to put on the internet - is online, along with work from my fellows, at the Greenock Comics Book page!  Be sure to check out 'The Gun,' the worst - by which I mean best - superhero ever.

But however will you know what it is, when you don't click?


For all those who wanted more, youse gots its!

Behind the Scenes

I hate that the dinosaurs all died.  Obviously if they didn't, there's no guarantees humanity would ever exist, and certainly the individual I call me wouldn't.  But it still sticks in the craw that these wonderful creatures are all dead and gone.

... Or are they?

I decided in my little universe that no, the dinosaurs didn't die out.  Well, not all of them.

For a visionary Diplodocus (contrary to popular scientific theory, I posit that my favourite dinosaur species not only survived the Jurassic, but gained sentience, intelligence and eventually, civilization) saw the great meteor crashing through the solar system. And do you know what he said?  He said no.  He would not accept his fate to be destroyed by some cosmic whim.  He would not allow his people to die without a fight.

And so the storied tale of how Doc saved the dinosaurs would be passed down the aeons, as the dinosaurs lived and flourished on their new homeworld, even to modern times.  Would Man and Dinosaur finally meet?  Only time shall tell...
