Description

Sunpot, chapter 3, page 2: Dr. Electric discusses stuff

First published in Galaxy magazine, April 1970

Vaughn Bode: “I was given the opportunity of a cartoon feature in Galaxy magazine largely because I won the ’69 Hugo for best fan artist. Unfortunately, paranoia developed very early between me and conservative Galaxy magazine. Sunpot was just too damn avant-garde for a large portion of readers and the dusty editors. Things, like censorship, got so bad it bent my mind until the only way out of the contract was to kill myself or the feature. Alas, I destroyed my creation in the sixth installment and was promptly fired.”

The Sunpot story was drawn and printed in blackline in Galaxy magazine (chapters 1 through 4) in 1970. Bodé colored the pages in 1972 for his Cartoon Concert debut at the Detroit Triple Fan Fair. It was then printed in half tone in Dude (all 6 chapters) in 1973. Mark Bodé colored a version that was printed in Heavy Metal when that series started in America in the late 70’s (see additional image). Vaughn’s finished colors, as seen here, never had publication.

Technically, at this point, you could be called a hoarder. Color me jealous.
