Description
Inspired by the British annuals that were published for boy's in the 60's - with the illustrations, rather than the text, drawing you into the stories. Poser and Vue renders put together in Phostoshop. Credits to Daz, J Trout, Poserstyle, and Dodger. Thanks for looking and for the very encouraging comments made on previous posts.

Fantastic work! The way you've done this is incredible!
Interesting concept and execution
what can I say? expressive work - very well done!
WOW! What a idea! Great! BRAVO!!!!
Fantastic job recreating that media! I remember those books well! Really well done! Really fine funny twist. ^__^
That's hilarious!
Nicely executed. Excellent!
I'll only say that cruelty is NOT part of the spanish (from Spain, Europe) character.
Excellent as usual and an interesting, original idea!!!
Excellent work
LOL!! You've really pushed a button of mine this time! I don't know why I love surrealism but the mixture of old and new always makes me smile. Reminds me of a drawing that I did in high school that I was considering giving a rebirth in Poser. Really admire your color work and the text tie-in.
Re: zarquen's comment. I thought twice about including it but it was meant to make the parody of Boy's Adventure Annuals stories that much moremore authentic. Those that were published over many generations in the UK (formerely 'Great Britain'!!!) always showed some kind of antipathy towards the 'Spanish'. It was just the kind of comment you would find in stories within these annuals. Historical figures, like Franics Drake, are even today still presented as national heroes - even though his role, along with other so called 'privateers', in plundering the commericial plunder of the former Spanish empire, in order to kick start the English economy and subsequent British empire, is well documented (but not so well known). I am sorry if this comment caused any offence, but as you can see it was not meant to. I lived and worked in Spain for a short period (where incidently Sir Francis Drake is represented as a 'pirate') and experienced cordiality and respect. To this day it remains quite a special time in my life. PS. My sense of parody remains: "a burlesque and satirical imitation, which seems to be a mockery".
Cool concept. Great execution as always! I guess this image and story contain more irony than I could grasp at first sight ;) I found it fascinating that zarquen, reading a story involving characters like "Cuthbertson" and "Oliver" travelling on board of the "swallow", felt obliged that "cruelty is not part of the Spanish character". Which shows that he understood immediately to what kind of historical occurrences this alludes ;) I admire your friendly and self-restrained reply. And I wonder what the school children in Spain are taught. Those 4 million Tainos who perished under Columbus's short tenure as "Vice Roy" - couldn't they stand the candy he was handing out to them or what was it...? ;)
Wow! This is a very beautiful picture!
Fantastic design! gives me lots of ideas.
