Coming in Rob Hanes Adventures #26!

Thanks to everyone who helped make the big landmark 25th issue of Rob Hanes Adventures a success! The issue took Rob back in time and received great feedback, generating a record number of comments and letters! It was a blast to drop into the series my own take of the great classic adventure strip characters that inspired my work. Thanks to everyone who picked up the issue and let me know their thoughts. And for those who haven’t yet, the issue is still available at wcgcomics.com!

I’m currently at work on issue 26, which takes a complete 180 degree turn from #25—whereas Rob traveled to the past in issue 25, in the upcoming story, as noted in the splash page included at top right, he enters the space age, in a very topical tale involving crypto and the billionaire space race!

And while working on the story, as you can see below, I couldn’t resist the opportunity to pay homage to the classic 1953 Tintin adventure, Destination Moon (by Belgian cartoonist Hergé, of course).

I’ve often thought about taking Rob into space, but such a storyline always felt too far-fetched. However, the advent of private space companies like SpaceX, Virgin Galactic and Blue Origin, all competing for government contracts and the opportunity to take civilians and well-heeled tourists into space, finally put it into the realm of believability!
