Sunday June 28th...See there, nobody thought Cap was really dead right! But, how did he survive? That is the question for a couple of strips. And of course his escape from Suon-Mira. He hasn't made it to the outside world, the surface world yet. But stay tuned Loyal Legionnaires he is headed that way soon. I also promise big excitment when that happens, new dangers, and a big new character in the strip. So with that introduction, as they say, give a big welcome to Sam Justice - my tribute to the Roy Rogers type cowboy character I grew up with and still enjoy. Sam is one of those cowboys stuck in that strange world of the changing face of the west. I always was amazed by those movies of Roy Rogers where he was riding Trigger along and all of a sudden you had automobiles, airplanes, nazi spies, rocket launchers, and strange business people trying to destroy the country. So here is to that type of hero, a tip of the hat from me. I can't promise Sam will break out in a song around the campfire, since I myself know nothing of making music, but I can't promise I won't try either. Of course the story of Sam is that he is a cowboy B western movie star, who works on the side, just like Roy Rogers did in so many of his roles, and in real life. He will be along soon, and hopefully stay around and have a full life in the strip. Of course he is also a loyal member of the Lighting Legion. Also one of the reasons for the cowboy character at this point in time is of course the mixing of the images, a cowboy/western sci-fi element. I enjoy the idea of mixing the western genre with science fiction and pulp/serial. What fun.



I also want to thank all for the great birthday wishes, as today I turn an ancient 57!!!!! As one of my sons says, 'isn't that three days older than dirt?' Well most days anymore I feel that way. But, today should be a really good day.
Rejoin the adventure now, Legionnaires!
