Altawoman: Monster Attack Page 16 (Patreon)

This page is very much a homage to the art of Jack Kirby. Like quite a lot of you, I made a few crazy lockdown purchases, and one of those was the rare and out of print comic adaptation of 2001 A Space Odyssey that Kirby produced in the 70's. I love the wigged-out space sequences that Kirby drew, so I just had to pay homage on this page. 

The creature- refered to here by the aliens as a 'Battle Beast' is a non-sentient fusion of organic and machine. It's a nod to the Ro-Beasts of the Voltron cartoon (a childhood favourite of mine). 'Battle Beasts', for those of you with obscure memories of 80's ephemera, were also a range of toys years ago. They were cyborg anthropomorphic animals with big swords and axes. Battle Beasts fucking ruled! I had a ton of them and I wish I'd hung on to a few. 

Anyway, we're into the final pages of this particular Altawoman story. There will also be more Mary's Curse coming very soon!
