I purchased the comic in late '79 and took it to boarding school where someone "borrowed" it, never to be seen again......BUT in 1992 I started a games shop called 'Dragon's Lair Games' and later bought into the Mark One franchise with a business partner in '94. In '92/93 a guy bought in about 50 of the comics which I gradually sold, but kept a few. One of the few items I still have left from those times is a dozen Captain Sunshine Comics still sitting downstairs in plastic bags. It's nice to keep something from your childhood :)Maurice Belzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16923761044168346837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425654414347032242.post-29022121453731668142018-02-07T17:20:35.954+13:002018-02-07T17:20:35.954+13:00Also, Tom Scott gets roasted: https://www.festival...Also, Tom Scott gets roasted: https://www.festival.co.nz/2018/events/tom-scott-sunday-roast/Dylan Horrockshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11097135411149801403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425654414347032242.post-91308448808581737522017-12-08T09:50:33.806+13:002017-12-08T09:50:33.806+13:00Belgian Biscuits...Belgian Biscuits...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425654414347032242.post-87786207497019840582017-08-18T10:03:10.318+12:002017-08-18T10:03:10.318+12:00Rip Martin EmondRip Martin Emondslapstickgeniushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12226638635644469758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425654414347032242.post-12427225029378269122017-03-20T11:26:30.039+13:002017-03-20T11:26:30.039+13:00RIP Martin.

I remember seeing a box of unsold ones in a store. I have to say that the artwork was splendid. Way better than I would have expected for a local project. Way better than the Australians did with Southern Squadron and Dark Nebula. Back in 1979 I was aged 11, so any eco-message was going over my head. I was just into the comic. I think I even got my dad to make me a belt buckle disc out of wood (with the pattern drawn on in ballpoint). It's the shame the art from the second issue was lost.I.M Fletcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02221772173209860714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425654414347032242.post-4780674486898182016-04-12T20:19:19.645+12:002016-04-12T20:19:19.645+12:00niceniceShwetabloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12945314996642903763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425654414347032242.post-58509940275264855922016-04-01T09:53:06.777+13:002016-04-01T09:53:06.777+13:00Hi Austin, sure thing!

I think your style might be well suited for editorial cartoons too, try checking out some examples from Sharon Murdoch and Chris Slane. You mention attending Zinefest on your blog, have you self-published any of your own comics yet? Zinefest is a great opportunity to give publishing a go and engage with your audience in person, so I'd suggest giving that a go too. Best of luck Austin, be keen to see how your work develops!<br />Cheers,<br />AK!Adrian Kinnairdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16079374817060101624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425654414347032242.post-8813007056130075142016-04-01T05:18:19.488+13:002016-04-01T05:18:19.488+13:00Hi Adrian, could take a look at my comics and give...Hi Adrian, could take a look at my comics and give me your thoughts on them?

I was working on a version that had a floating sundial width a magnet in it. <br /><br />Captain Sunshines belt buckle is the logo of the "Sun Energy Corporation". The Hexagons on his chess are my contribution (I was designing a hexagonal chess game at the time).<br /><br /> Amazing times. <br /><br />Does anyone know where Peter Farrell is these days?

I bought a copy and really enjoyed the story, though I remember wishing it had been more NZ-specific and also picking up on the pretty overt Green Lantern story influences. I think I might have owned a Suntracker watch as well, though I do also recall seeing bargain bins full of Suntrackers in a Wellington department store.<br /><br />Tall poppy syndrome be damned, IMO NZ needs more superheroes to call its own.
