OH, THOSE MUTANTS! This is an illustrated and mostly comical look into the Mutant Saga series. It irreverently covers the situations the Bellasarian mutants had to face from both humans and alien mutants alike. I like humor, and even in the novels, people are constantly finding themselves in situations that are embarrassing and frustrating for them, yet comical to the reader. Well, they're comical to the characters in the books too, but often at the expense of someone else... usually prudish Earthlings. This book is full of illustrations I did in the first publications of these stories that do not appear in the now re-named and republished versions. It also has a lot of illustration that never saw publication in a novel at all. I threw in pages from my short stab at adapting these stories into an adult comic book series as well. Before you ask, that was a lot of work for one guy who also has a full-time job. And no, no one else was touching my characters. Doing it all myself ensured that the characters and story stayed faithful to my books and didn't become someone else's vision of them. Anyway, I also added the whole backup story that I had even more fun making than the main comic story. There are plenty of satirical cartoons here, some totally unrelated to the books. However, there is some serious stuff here as well. This book is supposed to be informative, after all. However, even these sections have illustrations. These stories are not about pilgrims showing up, enticing/forcing Indians to conform to their standards of rightness, and then taking over. These stories are about the natives saying, "Deal with it or leave!" They may not wear clothes, but they're not innocent and uninformed either. And they have the technology and military might to defend their land and culture. Also, the Bellasarian have internal social and political issues of their own. This book just covers everything in a humorous way... mostly. WARNING: This book has naked natives. It has pushy and prudish immigrants/would-be colonist. It has annoying missionaries. It has mutant women... hot mutant women. It has evil alien chickens. It has fighting. It has naked buff guys (nobody ever cares about them though). It has mild profanity. It has politicians. It has panther men. It has Melania Trump (she has her clothes on). It has hypocrites. And it has naked, thick, curvaceous, bad-tempered, hot-blooded, STACKED warrior mutant women. (Whew!) By now it should be obvious that this book is NOT for little kids or thin-skinned people. So if you're someone who'd put pants on Micheal Angelo's David statue or calls any depictions of nudity in art, porn, this book is probably not for you. But if you're the kind of person who has a sense of humor, enjoys comics like The First Kingdom, Den, or comics geared to adults in general, you'd probably like this baby. Oh, and 'Adult' does not mean 'X-Rated.' Enjoy.
