Our fearless leader, Larry Brody, suggested I do an article on how the newly launched comic series, Planet Of The Eggs, created by myself and my writing/illustrating partner, Charlene Brash-Sorensen, came to be. We’ve just published Volume 1, number one, “Cracked Open,” and number 2 already is in the works, with many more issues to follow.
It’s a bit of a long story, as many undertakings of this kind are.
A couple of years ago I was thinking about eggs. Don’t ask why; I don’t really know why. Eggs were suddenly a fascination of mine. And that led me to think about what if (that old writer’s partner – what if) there was a civilization of eggs that didn’t hatch, but awakened to fulfill some unknown story line. What if they had faces, character, personality, but were eggs? What if it was a place not ours, but much like ours in appearance and what if I could turn it into a comic book?
