Cinema Retro recently received a copy of the new digest-sized comic book Star Babes, a glorious throw-back to the counter-culture comics of the 1960s - and it even features a tribute to Raquel Welch. Here's the official press release.
Independent creator Mike Fisher of Goofa Man Productions has produced a
brand new independent book that takes a look at those charismatic
curvaceous creatures from the cosmos... STAR BABES in "3-D Pete's Star
Babe Invasion Special!"!
From “Devil Girl from Mars†to Jane
Fonda as “Barbarella,†Star Babes have been a part of our pop culture
consciousness for decades. Fisher — and his cartoon buddy, 3-D Pete —
takes a look at some of the more noteworthy Star Babes from television
and movies.
In a recent interview, Fisher said, “In these trying
times, our nation can’t afford to ignore voluptuous women from the
stars in skimpy outfits.â€
“And another thing,†Fisher went on to
rant, “I know that we’re all moving to pixels and away from comics
printed with ink on paper, but that’s just the way I wanted to do it!â€
“Sure,
I invested a lot of time and money in a dying medium,†Fisher whined.
 “WAAAHHH!,† he cried, as he ran up the stairs in tears.
Fisher
produces cartoons for “Animation Magazine†as well as web sites such as
strangehorizons.com. He was a contributor to Starlog magazine for over
20 years.
In addition, he is a producer of award-winning
independent short animations. His short animations have shown at film
festivals across the country. Many have shown at the San Diego
Comic-Con Short Film Festival.
