Has /co/ ever read Storm by Don Lawrence? Or at least heard of it? It's very pulp and pretty good.

I've read the first one. I'd love to get the collections.
Yes. It used to be published in a comics magazine here.
Always loved the art.
>>80592279
Fuck yes. I pretty much grew up on Lawrence's Storm and Trigan Empire series.
Awesome shit, but sometimes it gets a bit -too- pulpy for my taste, especially Storm.
>>80592333
Very good of you. To celebrate that you are familiar with it I will post some more gorgeous art from Storm.

>mfw the Trigan Empire movie will never be made even though a script has existed since 2011
These pics are nice and I will google to see what Storm is.
>>80592595
This was one of my favorite issues. Mostly because I read it at that stage of life when all kids seem to be obsessed with dinosaurs, but still.
I loved the part where the dinomanlearns what a real T-Rex is like and he's like well fuck that.

I have yet to start on the Trigan series. How does it compare to Storm? Is it very similar?
>>80592684
It's similar in tone and writing, but much larger in scale since it basically describes the whole history of an empire, starting as a bunch of wandering primitives and eventually developing into a full-on sci-fi empire. The ending is pretty much entirely spoiled right away (after all it's not called "the rise and FALL of the Trigan Empire" for nothing), but mostly it's just a bunch of fairly self-contained stories dealing with some kind of challenge or threat to the empire.
Of course the main characters are almost immortal so it's not like it doesn't center around the same main characters every time, but it's far less typical heroic fantasy than Storm is.
>>80592279
Well, now I will.
>>80592279
Yeah it's gotta be one of my favorite comics of all time. The art gets a bit less impressive after Storm is transported to pandarve I think, but it's still very nice
>>80592279
You realize that the series has been translated into a number of languages and released in countries that have comic markets which are not controlled by a monopolist, right?
The comic's pretty easy to come by outside of the US market as an effect of that.

Wag-Nar was badass.
>>80592669
"This? This is what my people are descended from? ...What a terrible disgrace."
"No, Wag-Nar... in truth, there is awesomeness in the pure, raw strength of this being..."
And then it comes back to life and tries to kill them all.
And Wag-Nar is such a gentleman that he doesn't even say "DO YOU STILL LIKE IT?"

I'm not sure what you mean, but I'm Dutch. I can imagine it's actually pretty hard to come by in the US. They're very easy to get here, because they're originally Dutch (even though Don Lawrence is British).
>>80596718
>outside of the US market
...Did I miss something? This is originally Dutch, although Don Lawrence (peace be upon him) was British.
