Thom Shepherd's clever little retro
"Flying Saucer" fable seems as timely in today's paranoid
culture as it did nine years ago when he created the strip. It
features a pair of button-up scientists, Walt and Frank, and
a couple joy-ridin' foot-loose aliens who cause more than their
fair share of confusion. Told in minimal black & white panels
with touches of gray and half-tone, Thom's nostalgic comic recalls
a simpler time and reminds one of the child-like wonders of discovery.
"A Friday in '52" is reminiscent of the days when comics
were clean and uncluttered and stories were character driven
avoiding unnecessary violence and cliched stereotyping. Black
Egg Theatre is proud to dust off this little hidden gem and present
it to you for the first time. Please Enjoy. |
