That's the end of issue #1. Anybody care?

Pretty cool. Reminds me a lot of Bucky O'Hare and the original Ninja Turtles comics.

The series was started in 1986, which puts it right around the same time as the original TMNT. It was one of the first "independent" comics I ever read as a kid. I bought them from a friend who had them in his collection. It took me YEARS to find digital copies online once digital comics became a thing.

Oh well.

Not just that but that would mean it came out around the time other people were jumping on the indie animal bandwagon because of TMNT's success in comics in 1984.
In fact it kind of was the reason it got published:
>In the summer of 1985, 17-year-old Darick Robertson was just finishing up high school. Already interested in art, he had begun sketching some anthropomorphic characters in comic book pages on typing paper with a pen to pass time during summer school. Michio Okamura,[1] a talented artist and inker who was working as a security guard at a collection agency Robertson worked for at the time,[2] noticed his work and offered to get his work in as a backup story in Komodo and the Defiants, a funny animal comic by small publisher Victory. Robertson began creating 11" X 17" full size inked artwork for the first time, with no training. Before that actually got published, he showed his work to the owner of San Mateo's Peninsula Comics, Tibor Sardy, who was impressed. Tibor Sardy, hoping to cash in on the current funny animal black and white comic trend that had launched the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and many copy-cats, began publishing Robertson's work in October 1986 in a black-and-white format as Space Beaver under the label Ten Buck Comics. While initial sales were high, both the black-and-white comic market boom and the funny animal comic market boom were both coming to a close. Additionally, the book received a 'D-' rating in Comics Buyer's Guide in 1987. As sales slowed, the comic was canceled in April 1989, having published 11 issues.
Eventually it did help Robertson get in the industry and do New Warriors and other Marvel stuff, then Ellis' Transmetropolitan and Ennis' The Boys, and other stuff.

Gotta love that authentic 80's title design. grids, title name divided into two different fonts, one hectic,one clean looking, and of course, chrome. Its a cliche, but there's a reason its a cliche.

That's the end of issue 2. Maybe I'll post more later if there's enough interest.
Brandon Jones
Short, Hairy, Violent, Semi-Canadian. This is Wolverine in space!
Aiden Murphy
I'm certainly reading it. But it sure is weird proto-furry.
Ethan Gutierrez
>system glitch as a plot device
that was really cheap, almost as much as it was unusual
I do.
Elijah Brooks
Is OP gonna deliver any more?
Liam Fisher
I'll drop another issue or two tonight, I guess.
Issue 3. The covers get a bit more fancy as the series progresses.
