Pencil sketches of the Terranauts by long time friend and Lion Forge artist, Lorenzo Lizana. He also colored our Tempest Homepage illustration.

Fantasy General's TERRANAUTS No.1 from 1986. The cover was laid out by Don Secrease, penciled by Paul Daly, and inked by Rick Burchett. The coloring was done by Fantasy General's office. Two issues were finished before the company closed its doors, but only the first issue saw print.
Following a few more adventures with our featured team, we will be serializing both Fantasy General's stories about the 80s team with color revisions. |
Below are a few pieces by Bill Lux. He has the next couple Terranauts' Homepage illustrations ready, but we wanted to showcase some of his other work. While Bill does a wide variety of art, his fans favor what they think he does best. And just when you thought Adam Hughes and Frank Cho had the market cornered!
Pictured are DC Comics' Black Canary & Wonder Woman (2008) and covers for

Here are two recent oil paintings by Eric James, who maintains our website. He painted these for the St. Louis Science Center's First Friday show titled Bourne, Bond & Beyond. The left one pays tribute to James Bond; the right one salutes Jason Bourne. You can find more of Eric's work on his website,

When creators create something exciting (to themselves and, hopefully, to others), rarely do they just stop at a sketch or story idea or concept. They want to go a step further, and make the project really come to life.
We've been creating Terranauts adventures since the mid-80s (see Fantasy General Comics), so for years we’ve been thinking about various ways to experiment with media. At one point, we turned our attention to lobby cards. Since Paul Daly, Rick Burchett and a few other contributors are big into cinema, we considered old time lobby cards as natural extensions of the comic strips themselves. So, we created our very own lobby cards, just as if Hollywood had come a calling!
We set the scenes in the 50s (just like our comic strip Terranaut team), and found great locations and called upon the models on which we based our comic characters to double as actors for the lobby cards.
The lobby card below portrays Cuda's chief henchman, Mason (Walt Jaschek) wrestling with Robin (Erin Woods) over a pistol in an empty railroad tank car. On the right side is Capt. Cuda (Pete Milanowski) taking aim.
We created 8 lobby cards total (4 of "The Mechanics of Death" and 4 on "Invasion of the Synthetic Men"), and had a lot of fun in the process.
We hope you get a kick out of them, too. We'll be dropping more of them into the Vault, in the coming weeks, so keep checking back!

Below is the next Terranauts' lobby card. The Cloak (Ron Lizorty) squares off against Thad (Paul Daly), Pilar (Andrin Mele), and DuPre (Donald E. Secrease. The storyline has the Terranauts trying to stop the Cloak from creating an army of synthetic men (all resembling Craig Skaggs).
