It's been a while since I've drawn very personal OCs

You see, these are 3 soldiers of my army, each form a different unit. All I can say is expect to see them more often around here from now on.

#my art #My ocs #Neutro #Macro #Oesino #tw blood #i suppose it can count as blood #however these are the soldiers that help me deal with Aliens #you know when i say i fight aliens #i don't fight alone #these guys help me out #what's a commander without soldiers after all? #OC

Neutro (1967), the first - and only - issue of one of the most boring comics ever!

Dell Comics, once the biggest comic book publisher in the USA, if not the world, was desperate for content in the mid-1960s. The publishing partnership Dell had with Western, with Western providing tons of content for Dell to publish, had dissolved.  Western took all its titles, including numerous lucrative licenses (from Disney, Hanna-Barbera, and others) and began publishing them under its own Gold Key label.

Dell had to come up with its own titles to try and keep a place in the market.  In the mid-1960s, at the height of Batmania (due to the Batman television show) that meant superheroes.  Dell had never done superheroes before, but gave them a try just like every other Tom, Dick and Harry who had access to a printing press.

I’ve posted before about Dell’s trio of awful superheroes based on Universal Monsters (Dracula, Frankenstein, and Werewolf).  Neutro was yet another laughable attempt at Dell becoming the next Marvel Comics.

One thousand years ago aliens from the planet Pluto deposited several boxes in the American Southwest.  These aliens were observed by members of a Native American tribe, and the story was passed on through generations until it became a legend.

An adventurer is obsessed with the legend and, after several pages of searching, finally manages to find the boxes.  He brings them to a scientist friend, and together they open the boxes and find--

So of course they take all the parts and put them together, which results in--

So there, right off, we see that Neutro isn’t the giant superhero depicted on the cover.  In fact, he isn’t a superhero at all, just a brainless robot (which probably goes a long way in explaining the cover blurb “Neutro does not know the difference between right and wrong”).

After finally constructing Neutro, the adventurer and scientist then spend several pages figuring out what the robot is capable of.

Frankly, I wonder how these guys managed to conduct these tests.  Did they really have Neutro shoot down aircraft, race after missiles, or wander into an atomic bomb test?  And where did they get the herd of elephants, a thousand pythons, and a thousand lions?

Then these guys begin to have second thoughts about Neutro and the great power he possesses.  But instead of doing the sensible thing like taking him apart and putting him back in the boxes, they just decide “you can’t hold progress back.”

Then we’re right back to showing what Neutro is capable of doing.

The reader is later informed as to why the boxes were left on Earth.

I’m probably crazy expecting this story to make sense, but the aliens’ motivation makes absolutely no sense.  If you’re capable of making a robot that can take over a planet, why wait until the dominant species builds it and then come back and wrest control?  Just use the robots yourselves and take over the planets right away, instead of waiting thousands of years.

Or maybe I’m overthinking this.

Anyhoo, nefarious folks all over the globe have somehow A) learned of Neutro’s existence (probably from all those airplanes, tanks, and ships he destroyed); B) decide they want to control Neutro themselves; and C) know the exact radio frequency used to control him.

There are then several pages detailing the months-long struggle of radio beams from all over the world striking Neutro’s transmission control device,  Finally, one organization - Group 777 - magnages to develop a radio beam strong enough to take control of Neutro . 

AND THEN--!!!!

--nothing happens.  There is no second issue, and we never find out what happens to Neutro. 

There are no credits for Neutro, and frankly I don’t blame the creators for wanting to remain anonymous.  The writer was D.J. Arneson, and the artist was Jack Sparling (who also drew the original Secret Six for DC Comics, and his work was no better there), and I’m sure they never listed this book on their resumes.

There are elements about this story that make me suspect it may originally have been written for a science fiction comic instead of a superhero yarn.  The giant robots/monster genre had been a popular science fiction trope, as were the evil aliens, and the apocalyptic images of Neutro destroying the word.  And there’s also the complete and utter lack of any kind of superhero action at all.

Either way - science fiction story or superhero origin - the fact remains that this was an excruciatingly bad comic.

I read this as a lad while visiting an older cousin.  He only had a few comics, mostly humor books (which I never liked), and absolutely no DC or Marvels.  Neutro was the only book my cousin had that even remotely resembled the superhero comics I loved, so it was the only one I read.  Unfortunately, it was one of those bad experiences that stays with you your entire life.  

And now I’ve shared it with you.  Misery loves company and all that.

Un video riguardo il genere neutro nell’italiano medievale e rinascimentale che in parte è rinasto anche nell’italiano moderno, giusto perché, secondo i “soliti noti”, in italiano esistono solo il maschile e il femminile.

Non facilissimo, ma molto interessante.

No.

Ya no mas intentos por ti.

Si te gustas marchar adelante.

Hace mucho me olvidaste y no estaré recordándote un amor que para tu corazón solo fue un bombeo ligero de sangre.

Refuerzo Intermitente

el traspaso de la onda cada vez que corta x se mide bajo la deshonrra de tu mente débil

cuentan las historias pero aún más mis matemáticas que sobre la geometría sagrada siempre habrá abundancia

aún cuando se llora todo cuanto fue arrebatado ¿ya nadie te implora? ah, si...fueron tus pecados

pues los peces disociados a través de tu engorrosa actitud indecorosa de hacer creer: es puro auto-engaño

sigues pensando que eres tanto mejor héchate un vistazo, caíste directo a nuestro infierno y te convertiste en esclavo

un malcriado, de mil versos cada uno por año de encierro

el arma: el desapego su filo: el conocimiento te programo al auto-reconocimiento te proclamo libre y sin argumento

te disparo con balas abstractas mis perdones, mis anhelos disculpa y gracias, así está tallado este yeso
