HISTORY |
||||||
|
Jetman was a comic strip that was featured in a magazine called
CRASH (a computer magazine
The artist who penned them was a guy called John Richardson (many thanks for one of the funniest comic strips ever!). We even have an exclusive interview with the man himself, for this website! The comic strip followed the exploits of a guy called Jetman ('the Looney') and his so called friend 'The Monster' (a Dinosaur) as they stumbled through the Universe causing trouble (accidentally with hilarious consequences). |

Characters |
||||||
|
Our Looney (erm sorry, Lunar Jetman) |
||||||
 Who roams the Universe shooting things with his 'Bang
Stick ™' and generally sending Alien Invasion Fleets to Earth. Prized
Posession is the 'Fabulous Eye of Okput' (it see's into the future,
don't you know?). Keep this looney at a distance, or you could be in
trouble. |
||||||
|
The Monster |
||||||
 A dinosaur who has been trying to eat Jetman from the
very first time they met. The trouble is that Looney Jetman doesn't
realise this and thinks the monster is his best friend (well they are -
erm, sort of). |
||||||
|
The Big Boss |
||||||
 He knows how stupid Jetman is and tries to send him on
suicide missions (I wonder why??) or to distant galaxies. I don't know
if he can walk, cauz he spends most of his time in a floating bathtub
(...ok I lied - a floating space thing). |
||||||
|
Aliens (outer space elephants?) |
||||||
 These aliens created the marvelous 'Dongle Bomb' (when
it explodes then it turns everyone 'deef' and stupid - so it has no
effect on Jetman!!). And boy are they brainy, they have two don't you
know, but when you look under their kilts then your in for a big suprise!
(look I'm not being rude, read the Jetman's Adventures for more
details). |
||||||
|
Parrotman |
||||||
 This guy, erm I mean parrot, has one big ego. He's
swauve, sofisticated and cunning, plus a Galactic Conker Champion
(except when Stanley the Conkerer, aka. Jetman, beat him). He also has
more lives than a cat, after Jetman fried him with his rocket ship, he's
still alive!!. |
||||||
|
Plurps |
||||||
 They run Monsters ship and it seems they don't mind
working for him, but they really don't get on with da Looney (apart from
the grown King of the plurps - who's a bit dim).They grew an assasin to
get rid of Jetman. |
||||||
|
Flash Gordon |
||||||
 He wasn't too flash at the start, ya see he was
shipwrecked and looked like Robinson Cruiso. Boy he certainly smartened
up after a shave. The Parrotmen, Moonmen, Mingsmen, Postmen and anyone
else who ends in 'men' hate him (lets just call him Mr Popular!). |
