Let Running dogs lie

It looks like there is a new Octobriana comics seriously in progress - after the pencil pictures leak back in December 2010 ; there was a long silence ... but then out of the blue came a full colored page.

Here's only an extract - because the full page content is NSFW

What we know so far about the story is that it involves Pro Junior, a Siberian veteran porno-actress (Vladrushka Valentinovich Vostok), and a couple of villains (Dr Mabuse ?! the Dark Ones ?! )

For more details you will have to jump back to February 2007 at http://jlroberson.blogspot.com/2007/02/something-i-was-messing-with.html

You might be surprised to see Octobriana so tanned, but that's on purpose, after all she's half Slavic/half Toltec (her father was a Slavic Barbarian king and her mother a Toltec Queen) - the author John Linton Roberson had in mind how Beyonce would look if she has been drawn by the underground comics legend Robert Crumb.

Now the fact, that Octobriana in the picture is talking about "Cock for the Revolution" has nothing to do with enrolling chicken, rooster or cockerel in her army of Freedom Fighters ... this could upset the Femen, but Octobriana is playing the flute on Pro Junior and this is basically how the story starts.

Prague Komiks fest

Komiks fest 2011 in Prague is now over, it was interesting to meet many international guests, especially a talented Russian comic artist Konstantin Komardin.

During the exhibition "Tigers from East" of Konstantin Komardin and Jozef “Danglár” Gertli.  Konstantin was really nice taking the time to autograph the Petr Sadecky 1971 book with this Octobriana drawing on the left.
Fixing a 40 years old issue, since there was (paradoxically) no Russian art in "Octobriana and the Russian Underground".

The second photo is  a large painting by Jozef “Danglár” Gertli, depicting a jaded blueish Octobriana veteran holding cigar and AK47 and who seemed to have participate in too many revolutionary "coup".

She does look a bit old on that picture, but hey ... 2011 is marking her 40th birthday! and it doesn't look like the world is yet rid of the need of revolution.
