He also does cover & interior work for prose novels. Nelson began his career in the 1980s, working for Now Comics ('Silverwing') and Eclipse Enterprises (work for Alien Encounters and Skywolf).Creators: Robert A. Nelson, Mark A. Nelson, Michael Russick Date: 1983 Publisher: Grazing Dinosaur Press This self-published, black and white, magazine-size comic is basically 3 guys from Illinois doing their version of Heavy Metal. It contains 3 stories written and drawn by each creator and 3 full-page gag strips by one of them. All three artists work in a sci-fi/fantasy vein and draw in a detailed pen-and-ink style. Throughout the comic there’s an element of absurdity and mild self-parody, but it’s not clear to me whether it’s self-awarely intentional or not. “Parts Paul!” by Robert A. Nelson is a sci-fi fantasia set on the planet “Jane Eyre II” and involves an “off-world trouble shooter” named Donald Fox (I don’t know who “Paul” is) who is summoned to disarm a biological WMD which arrives in the form of a crash-landed, booby-trapped missile. The story ends on a cliffhanger. The visuals and story are both full of baroque, nonsequitur detail — the artwork is like a cross between Moebius and Theo Ellsworth — including steampunkish military uniforms, greebly technology and a bow-tie-wearing alien sidekick named Zunt. “There and Back” is drawn by Michael Russick in a bigfoot Vaughn Bodé-influenced style and involves an explorer and his robot pal running into trouble with an indigenous life form, while meanwhile in orbit a prisoner makes a daring escape from his captors. Some of the slapstick and action is undercut a bit by some confusing visuals, but there’s some pretty funny dialogue. “Dragonsbane” by Mark A. Nelson is a lovingly rendered knight-vs.-dragon tale which leads up to a twist punchline ending, and the artist’s “Dinosaur Tales” strips lavish lush illustration on some groaner talking-dinosaur jokes, which somehow makes them funnier.
