Welcome to "Rad Starjack: Elysium"! This is a short little comic, only five pages in length but I like it for two reasons. Firstly, it was fun to do. And, secondly, it gave me the opportunity to work again with the extremely talented Fabrizio Pacitti and the excellent Bill Key, my two collaborators on The Spires.

At this stage, it's just a tongue-in-cheek, stand alone adventure but I have grown kind of fond of the main characters and so, who knows? Maybe we'll revisit the world(s) of Rad Starjack again some day!

In addition to the temporary cover we ran for a while, Fabrizio prepared two "purpose-built" cover designs. This is the second of them. When I first saw it, I thought it just about had the edge over the first. Then, when Bill added the colour, I had no doubt - don't you just love the texturing on that gold wall ornamentation!?
