Marooned #1 Second Printing at Indy Planet, Secret Project Preview
on March 31, 2009 at 12:52 pmThe second printing of Marooned #1 “Arrival” is available for order on IndyPlanet.com. Remember this is not mini comic sized, but standard comic size. It’s the same content as the ashcan without the Floopy back cover (there’s a Ka-Blam ad there instead).
I’ll be getting started on issue #2 soon. However, I would like to know what you all think about the creator comments. I liked doing it, but thinking about it, I wonder if they would be better served as a special section in the back, instead of on each page. I almost think it distracts a bit from the strips.
What do you think? Vote in the poll below and let me know.
Special Super-Secret Project!

Above are a couple panels from a story entitled “Green.” What is this story you ask? Who is this strange looking robot? Well, unfortunately, I can’t tell you just yet! This is not part of the Marooned universe, but it’s a special project that I am involved with. This project includes a lot of other very talented artists.
That’s all I can tell you right now, but there will be more coming soon. Stay tuned!




I like the robot design. Hm… might that be a cactus in the background?
Might it? No, it mightn’t.
I thought the maker comments really detracted from the comic.
I also suspect there were a few moments where you’d thought “I ought to write a comment here, what can I say?”. Or in other words, the editorial control over the comments didn’t match that over the comic. The comic is good and clever and stands for itself.
Thanks for weighing in Hannah. I wasn’t at a loss for comments at any point, I think mainly because they are the really early strips. But I tend to agree the comic stands by itself.
That is why I asked the question. Frankly I’m surprised by the results so far.
Maybe I asked the wrong question, and should have asked if people would mind if they were in the back. I do think it is a bit distracting to have them there.
Can’t wait to ear more from this project !
