UFO The New Boss

In this, Commander Straker has the abrasive General Calper appointed to oversee SHADO, but is he all he seems ? Adapted from the Countdown comic strp of the early 70's

Very good indeed. Love the way the soundtrack meshes with the panels. Disappointing ending to the comic story, though. Straker could've found a better way to prevent General Calper from being killed by the alien spacecraft. 😥

Though the hard ending is in keeping with the show. I think it's remarkable that considering the production conditions of the comic the editor/writer kept coming up with good stories in keeping with the show for both this and the Dr Who strip, which often is not the case with comic book spinoffs

Great Work. I like how you merge sound effects and original soundtrack music to bring the story to life. I plan to one day do a similar project with Marvel Battlestar Galactica comics from 1978. Your project is an inspiration. Well done.

Thanks, I hope you do the Galactica comics soon. I'd really like to do the Star Wars Newspaper strip the Al Williamson drew, but I don't have a copy of it

Good Job.. I enjoyed watching.. The moving lips were a bit too much though.. Not really necessary as it is a good story with plenty to look at? Look forward to you doing another story.. Thanks..

[@darkstardavros]

Great work. Although I found the moving lips bit a bit disturbing. Sorry.

[@BlackMaria61]

Davros & Robin, I have moving lips to help clarify who's talking (works better when its dubbed rather than using dialogue balloons) and also because this is an animation rather than a slideshow of a comic. I must confess sometimes they work better than others ....
