Surviving. Monster. Truth.
Synopsis: Young man rules minds of people with the help
of special robot. He steals by puting illusions on minds of enemies.
Until he finds real company, a drifting voluptuous girl prisoner.
Comment: Brilliant idea and almost as brilliant story
by Jan Strnad. A brilliant example what nuances you can find
with zipatone, if you have Corben's talent.
Alternatives, : Color
version eats all zipatones away. Second page (where you can see all nudity
in original version) is almost totally redrawn. There is no capulating,
but girl is now laying under the quilt. On fourth page there is a lot of
redrawing during erasing zipatone. All the
rest, including text, is surprisingly identical with the original.
Color version is divided in two; on first page they added "©1972",
in the end of last page "Continued Next Issue.",
and "To Meet the Faces You Meet Part 2" and "copyright
1972 Richard Corben & Jan Strnad" in the beginning of second part.
