DON'T GIVE UP THE DAY JOB - THE 'LOST' DEATH WISH SCRIPT - PART ONE...

You're looking at the script for a proposed DEATH WISH story

for EAGLE comic back around the mid-'80s.  I was lettering the strip

at the time and decided to try my hand at writing a tale and submitting it

to editor DAVE HUNT.  I can't recall now if I ever did, although I have

a vague notion that I might have done and received a knock-back.

The story is clearly ripped off from inspired by the FF's very first

encounter with The SKRULLS and THOR's experience with an alien 

race called XARTANS, both species having the ability to change their

appearance to anything they want.  I thought it would have made a nice

change of pace for BLAKE EDMONDS to go down the MARVEL

route for a couple of episodes and this was the result.

Just as well I wasn't short of lettering work at the time, eh?  Give it

a read and, like it or loathe it, I'll inflict part two on you next time.
