53 years old, ex-Hollywood screenwriter, making my first comic!

Hey all!


So yeah, I'm totally new here, it's nice to join the community! I've been working on this sucker for about 5 years now. It started as a spec script to try and sell as a movie, and I thought of making a few pages as a comic just to pitch the project... but I got addicted, so I just decided to make the whole sucker as a comic instead! It's called "Rick Starr Kills Robots!"

A little history: 

In the early-to-mid 2000's, I (with my best friend and former writing partner Grant) sold some comedy scripts to studios (Sony, Disney, and a few smaller studios). As Hollywood moved away from big-screen theatrical comedies, the work dried up. And, frankly, I was pretty miserable while doing the job... endless executive notes, actors being attached, then dropping out, studios literally trying to not pay the money they owed us... so I quit doing it and went back to my other passion, editing. 

So for the past 20+ years, I've been editing trailers and TV spots for Disney/HULU, but I never stopped writing, and this idea - for some crazy reason - stuck with me. So I started drawing it. Then, I got frustrated because my art skills weren't really up to snuff, so I designed the characters in a 3D program (Daz Studio + Blender), brought the models into Clip Studio Pro (that was a loooooong process), and now I have a combo of hand-drawn and 3D art styles.

Anyway, have a look, hope you get some laughs or fun from it.  My goal was to make a comic form of genre movies like Repo Man, They Live, Buckaroo Banzai... sci-fi with tons of silly fun and satire.

I've put the first 45 pages up, I have about 80 more. Let me know what you think! 

P.S. Tell me about your comic, I'm looking to read cool stuff and get better!
