Today I inaugurate a new section (I don't plan to continue in the future) that deals with de the worst science fiction comics of the history. Or at least, the worst ones among those than have happened through my hands, that are not many, but carefully selected among those sold at 3 for a dollar.
I will begin with the third position, the bronze medal, that I dedicate to the version in comic of the pilot episode of the mythical series “Galactic Battelstar”, well-known as “Galactica” by the Spanish children of my generation who did not have any better thing to do during summer vacations than seeing the exciting episodes of a series that already then was at least 10 years old and that was made to take advantage of the scale models and characters that were rejected when doing the first trilogy of “Star Wars”. In short, this series, without reaching at the dialectic depth from “Buck Rogers”, was my inspiration source to draw one of my first comics, in which bad robots with a red light in the eyes (original isn't it?) attacked the Earth, but after many laser beamses at the end it was saved. The most extensive dialogue was carried out by a human who said to a robot, “do you like to die? then here you are!”, and then it shotted him with a laser ray. Thus, it seems that some undesirable one stole my original idea and was lucky enought to have it published!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Secondly the famous “Hercules, Prince of Power”, and I say famous because at least the name of Hercules sounds to everybody, like the well-known Greek hero who once retired spent his time solving mysterious crimes. It is not necessary to talk about the terrible quality of the drawings, that is more than evident, nor about the doubtful script in which some supposed space soldier-heros, dressed in the style of ancient Greeks have to deal with the whims of interstellar Gods under a series of ridiculous situations. I would just say that the only positive thing about this comic is that the authors were kind enough to plan it as a “limited series” of only four chapters, with the purpose to avoid causing an irreversible damage in the neural networks of their reckless readers. However, it is more than probable that the series was interrupted prematurely, given the excessive success of the first delivery.
The first position is reserved for this Wonder of Creation that happened to be called “Primortals”. The truth is that there is no way to know what about it goes but is something related to bizarre tiny beasts that make things barely interesting. But the most miserly thing of this , that makes it deserving of this award, is the indiscriminated use of a pair of “famous” names to try to give credibility to it. Firstly, the comic is indeed entitled “Leonard Nimoy' s Primortals”, in a direct reference to the actor who incarnated the expressive Spock in the Star-Treck series. Nevertheless, having a look to the authorships, it is clear that this good man in the best cases just made the mistake to allow those crazy people to include his name in that awkward creation. In case this was not enough, a timid subtitle dares to suggest that this tale includes some “concepts from Isaac Asimov”. What the hell means that? Maybe it is just that in this comic there is a robot that is able to talk, and given that in the tales from Asimov there are talking robots, they already had the right to put another name to add a little of quality to the subject. In short, I found the idea so brilliant that I couldn't help to apply it to the title of this post…
Returning to the subject, Charles Atlas, whose true name is Gayumbo Man, as everybody knows, was brother of Super Man, but he did not have superpowers. In fact, it was a rather weak and small type, often bullied by their classmates. Until a good day discovered a technique that would change his life and would revolutionize the market of doping drugs: the preventive fist, also called “dynamic tension”, name that refers to the fact that when making a fist, in a preventive way, to someone who is thought to hide massive destruction weapons in the pocket, we will cause a great tension among his/her molecules, which gives rise to an absolute chaos of the nervous system, then the body is invaded by hordes of killer terrorist bacteria and virus that turns the victim inot some kind of autist Zombie, who won't follow neither his will nor the one from his aggressor. Very useful, isn't it?
In order to begin, I will show you an image that speaks by itself, and that shows us how simple is to attain perfect abdominals with the method of Dynamic
The last trend in exercises based on the technique of the Dynamic Tension of Charles Atlas: the “abdominal marker”.
We can forget those troublesome machines that the holly master Chuck Norris announces on TV, and of course those expensive quotas of the gymnasium. In words of the owner of a gymnasium, interviewed for an TV-shop ad: “now no longer you will have to waste your money coming to our gymnasiums”… without a doubt this guy was use to cultivate his body, but not his mind… or he was the reincarnation of Christ hibrydised with
Next, a video that shows another kind of typical exercises of the technique of Dynamic Tension of Charles Atlas. One is which one has occurred in knowing as the “technique of the pendular broom in dynamic tension with the oscillating movement of a servomechanism of opening and automatic locking of intermarchedic controlled by an optical sensor and with security system anti-I block”.
Good, I hope that all this has been useful for those willing to improve their techniques of body-building, although I guess not. As Super-mouse said, the secret for a “Body Atlas” is to hypervitaminate, hypermineralize yourselves and to take tones of illegal doping drugs. Personally, I prefer to dedicate me to the technique of static distension, which works very well for me, and also allowed a man with a long, red beard to live more than 3000 years.
The asceth mystic Hindu North American who lived more than 3000 years seated on his sofa watching TV and feeding himself exclusively with beer and Twinkies (r), which is something similar to a Bollycao (r), but stuffed with cream, and produced by Hostess (r).

Gigantic Olmeca head with its characteristic helmet of astronaut, whose characteristics are relatively Póssimos to me… Orejona goddess with its spaceship, and a Mayan engraving showing two extraterrestrial ones, the one of the left examining a radar and the one of the right using a system of sonic propulsion, whose similarity with a cigar is with no doubt accidental.
Fashion of Pierre Cardin for season 1969/1970. Without a doubt the fashion designers from the end of the 60 still were in contact with the people's culture of the moment, not like those from now, that live in another galaxy…
and some even consider themselves as “artists” jajaja! …
Fortunately, there are several YouTube videos of the Ursprung Buam. In this case, showing that in spite of their fame and their good appearance, the boys do not seem to have so much success with the girls as would be expected...
An amusing action of Marianne & Michael in a Christmas special, along with the Hoffmann sisters, and the nice Herzbuben disguised of Santa Claus (it fits them very well!)....

And don't forget to buy a CD of the Ursprung Buam (or if you download it from e-mule at least divulge the good new one, as did Saulo of Tarsus in his day, after getting blind in the desert of Damascus, not very far from where the crazy Arab Abdul Al Hazred was devoured centuries later by an invisible entity).
For more information, as well as to the address to rent their apartment for holidays (an usual practice among the artists of the Volksmusik), do not hesitate to visit their web page:
*I must say that Ursprung would also be able to be translated for "spring". At first sight, "The Shepherds of the spring" may seem a more logical name for a folk group, but this working hypothesis is ruled out automatically after looking at the musicians in any cover sheet of their disks.
