Red Kelso is a full bodied red with
an adventuresome aftertaste. Pulpy, with a hint of cheekiness, this Australian made webcomic is very satisfying.
Red Kelso is a rip-roaring, old fashioned adventure serial that reminds me of King Kong (the original) mixed with a dash of Indiana Jones and a sprinkling of Tintin. Gary Chaloner's crisp artwork is only matched by crisper dialogue with a real "pulp" feel to it. And like some other modern pulp tales, it doesn't feel forced. Gary has used a very subdued colour palette for the strip, but the use of vibrant red against the "sepia" tone really makes each page stand out. My favourite scene to date would have to be the salty "Cock Eye Bob" getting kicked in the face sending his false eye sailing across the dock with a simple "pop". I'm looking forward to see how the story will lead us from New York to the jungle standoff that we witness in the prologue.

Scott and Benita Story's JOHNN SATURN is a terrific grim and gritty superhero tale in the tradition of WATCHMEN and DARK KNIGHT RETURNS.
Johnny Saturn is an aged, burned-out street level crimefighter. He's scarred up and constantly on painkillers. But he never says die - even when he does die. That's the premise of Scott and Benita Story's hard-hitting daily superhero series, JOHNNY SATURN. There are many superheroes in Spire City, the world Johnny lives in, and he doesn't get along with many of them, especially the ones that get in his way.
The Squadrom Premiere is the large superhero group that polices Spire City, but Johnny has never felt like he belonged with them. Opposing Johnny for most of his life is Dr. Horatio Synn, a sadistic doctor with interest in the occult.
Johnny is ably drawn by Scott Story, who is equally good at the quiet, street-level scenes and high-flying, sometimes very bloody action. The series is co-written and lettered by Scott's wife, Benita Story. The lettering is a perfect fit for the no-holds-barred scripting.
Check out Johnny Saturn if you want a darker, fascinating take on superheroes. I recommend it highly.

Meet the Yellow Jacket - he's not the man you think he is...
Sunday mornings. They're made for lazy adventures shared on a comfy sofa, for reading penny-dreadfuls, for watched cliffhangers and double fisted action. And now there's another source of good old-fashioned, hard-boiled pulp romps. Thrill Seeker Comics introduce a anti-hero so unique and yet so familiar you'll think that you've been reading his exploits since the 30s. So pull yourself up a chair, and keep Sunday morning's spare for the Yellow Jacket. I know I will be... PS. If you think gas masks are creepy, you'll love part one!
