Notes: 51
This was the cover to issue 1 of DOGS of Mars when we put it out online.
All of Rahzzah’s cover’s can be found in the back of our graphic novel from Image Comics.
There’s an Untouchables reference (but actually it’s a Battleship Potemkin reference) in panel 1 that’s obscured by the “memory fog.”
Got better drawing cats by this page I guess.
And Moon Girl started off, looks-wise, as a hybrid of the lovely Natalie Portman and my, even lovelier friend, Alexis…she’s since evolved into about 80% Alexis and %20 Olivia Wilde.
…Also, this page represents a collection of the best rendered leather gloves I’ve ever done….
Moon Girl is an golden age hero we re-invented for today’s audiences by re-contextualizing her character into the 1950s.
Read the whole thing on Comixology and order that sucker on right here on South Fellini.
You can also reserve a copy from your local comic shop with the Diamond Order Code: NOV121284
Masked vigilantes wage class warfare from the roof tops of 1950’s New York. Claire is an exiled Russian Princess hiding in New York. When enemies from her old life resurface, the repressed Warrior Queen must fight back.
Moon Girl becomes a champion of the counter culture and inspires others in this era of social revolution to be more-than-human. But in order to defeat Satana, Sugar Plum Faerie, Tiki Bob and the dangerous forces they represent, Moon Girl will have to overcome her own neurosis!
I love this interpretation of the werewolf growing out of it’s victim in this DOGS of Mars pinup by Michel Fiffe.
Claire’s royal braid (an idea I totally yoinked from “Coming to America) is as smart an idea to wear into a fight as a cape
I set this idea up in issue #2 not knowing how I was gonna have her lose it exactly, but when this flashback showed up in the script the window was open.

so here we got Claire all “Year One” on that ass
trying to put together a crime fighting costume one might actually put together
my idea way back in issue two was that her coat would eventually be turned into her costume (hence the 3 buttons on the sleeve n such ) the idea for the rest of the outfit was thinking that she used pieces of her man’s old soldier uniform (I put a little pin on his hat in issue #2 to give a nod to his past)
so yeah this is Claire and Satana on their separate roads to their respective future looks…Satana has adopted the hood and the red (for some reason she wore green in the original comics) and Claire has got her Mark 1 boots (which I like more than her current ones) high face-concealing collar,goggles, etc..

Fancy steampunky boots and polar bear pelts oh my.
The idea with this flashback was to show the evolution of relationships and the gear.
It’s a blurry line between a functioning suit and a fashion statement.

I always dug the original credit page to DOGS of Mars. We ended up slimming it down and moving it around when the trade got printed. But I really love the way this was laid out, the guys did a great job.
DOGS of Mars is about Nocturnal monsters stalk astronauts marooned on Mars. Zoe is the swashbuckling captain of Earth’s first off-world colony. Isolated on the farthest frontier of civilization, order breaks down when the unfamiliar hostile invades. Zoe faces mutiny, death and dishonor; she must sacrifice her humanity if she hopes to survive.

I don’t care how often that photo of the WW2 sailor kissing the nurse has been homaged…
