February 1990 Pt.4 Manga
Another newcomer for
February was a comic-book adaptation that was taken from the Japanese
animated film Lensman: Secret of the Lens. unfortunately I do not
have any of these comic-books, only some promotional ads.
Lensman. Written by
Paul O'Connor, and illustrated by Tim Eldred & Paul Young with
cover art by Jason Waltrip, published 6 issues in a monthly format,
form
February 1990 to October 1990, by Eternity Comics. The novels were originally
serialised in 1934 to1947 and then published from 1948 to1954
“Inheriting the
mysterious Lens – a mystical device of incredible power – young
Kim Kinnison and his friends are enlisted in the crusade against the
evil Boskone Empire.” You would be forgiven in thinking that the
origin story seems a
little bit familuar, for those of you that read DC comic-books, the
'Green Lantern' and the 'Green Lantern Corps' have simualarities
that run in parallel with Kim Kinnison's story
as a Lensman in my opinion!
[Note: In an exclusive
arrangement with Harmony Gold (Robotech II: Sentinels) Eternity
comics was very proud to present this English adaptation.]
[Note: The 60 page
'Collector's edition' Lensman: Secret of the Lens, would include all
new artwork by Eldred and a guide to the Galactic Patrol and evil
Boskone Empire, with a full colour cover by Doug Rice (of Dynamo Joe &
Manhunter fame!).]
[Note:With “Harmony
Gold U.S.A”. Providing the licensing from the Japanese animated
film & TV series that then was based on Edward E. Doc. Smith's
first 6 science fiction novels of Lensman.]
[Note: The full length
animated feature (Lensman: Secret of the Lens) was dubbed by Harmony
Gold USA in 1988, this was then re-dubbed by Streamline Pictures for
a theatrical release in1990 for a more mainstream cinematic
audience.]
