"Road-Sign Hank & The Aliens" available for free to all Lunduke Journal subscribers
Family friendly, Sci-Fi adventure comic book series... with some nerdy jokes mixed in.
Back in 2011, a decade ago, I began writing a comic book.
A book about aliens invading earth, done in the art style of road signs. It was a goofy, family friendly, 1950's-esque sci-fi adventure.
And the critics loved it.
From Ain't It Cool News:
“Not only is the self-referential quality one of the finer points of the series, but the humorous writing makes the reader want to read every last word, instead of being tempted to skim.”
“Bryan Lunduke does not rest or depend on the fact that his style of artwork is purely based on road-signs; he takes advantage of this and backs up the pictures with hilarious text.”
From Wired:
“Some comics rely on gorgeous art. Some on fantastic writing. And some rely on that very hard to find sweet spot where the art and the dialogue work together to create something that is greater than the whole. That's the case with Road-Sign Hank and the Aliens.”
Not gonna lie, the crazy positive reviews felt real good.
Despite the overwhelmingly positive critical response, life (read: day job) interfered and I had to put Hank on hold. I keep meaning to get back to the adventures of Hank… but something always seems to get in the way!
It’ll happen one day. One day… new issues will happen. I feel it in my bones.
In the meantime, Issue #1 and Issue #2 are now free (and DRM-free) downloads for all paying subscribers to The Lunduke Journal.
You can even gift a subscription (which includes all of the nerdy, DRM-free eBooks) to someone. Which is something a really awesome person would do. ;)
