Sunday Single - 'Space Invader' (Patreon)

Hello there!

This may not seem like a particularly summer-themed comic, but as a child I spent a lot of time, (and pocket money) in seedy seaside arcades. Space Invaders was a favourite along with Galaxian, Phoenix, Pac-Man, Donkey Kong and Dragon's Lair - yes, I'm a retro gaming geek and proud of it!

I discovered a fun fact while drawing this comic... The artwork on the side of the Space Invaders arcade cabinet was inspired by the 1956 sci-fi movie Forbidden Planet - the invaders look very similar to the electrified 'Monster from the Id' and even some of the rock formations are lifted from the film.

More retro game related comics to come - watch this space... 👾👾👾👾👾
