And thus was a young man inspired to create Voltron…
I like that he included male and female lions.
Okay, this is the exact thing I needed to see to make me want to purchase this. How weird is that?
Aslan! Simba! Destroy them!
The best part? There’s no way those lions survived the fall.
I bet that sometime, somewhere, Blackhawk had to deal with this situation.
Could you, after all this time, have actually found the awesomest way to die?
Seriously, getting mauled by lions would totally suck but I think your mind would already have gone numb from the sheer awesomeness of lions falling from the sky toward you.
Work every time
Sold!
I believe that this was the original proposal for the Manhattan Project.
Thundercats…Ho!
Witnesses to the scene described the carnage as “gruesome, yet totally awesome.”
You make it sound like this is not a common occurrence…
Wasn’t this same scene in “Pink Floyd: The Wall”?
Almost the same thing happens in the anime series Nerima Daikon Brothers, except that it’s guys dressed up in lion suits, they’re the bad guys, and the airdrop to beat them up is a batch of dancing girls who encourage you to borrow money recklessly.
This is like a move from the world’s greatest fighting game.
I have a feeling CSI:Jungleland is the greatest forensic show ever.
I loved the first Fletcher Hanks book (shame on anyone who wasn’t already aware of the previous boo :P) and I’m quite excited to get this book. It’s so wild to think that all of this craziness came out of the mind of one guy. The Hanks “Stardust” story in Fantagraphics recent “Supermen!” book had a similar “animals attacking from the sky”, featuring gigantic vultures from Venus who could fly through space and reach Earth within a few minutes. No spacesuits or anything. Completely ridiculous.
…it had to be perfectly timed… Hitler would wait until every last paratrooper had jumped and was descending upon Normandy…
only then could he pull his trump card…
Wow! Thanks for the kind words about my Fletcher Hanks books. Agreed: those floating tigers had a rough and surreal fate.
For those of you unfamiliar with Hanks more down-to-Earth if not equally strange work, slide on over to the BONUS page of my website for a peek at a full length story featuring Big Red McLane. Evidently, once upon a time, someone thought that a series about an ass-kicking lumberjack was a good idea.

No, really.

STOP REMINDING ME OF THE EXTINCT LUMBERJACK ACTION GENRE, KARASIK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, and good work on these books. Have the first one, gonna get the second soon.
I don’t know what I love most about the Big Red comic…the phrase “big-time bomb”,or the Mountie’s revelation of a sinister new lumber syndicate!
I hear Grant Morrison is going to totally reinvent the “ass-kicking lumberjack” genre.
