THE SUBLIMP! This is my #inktober2020 replacement, done for #Comictober2020 , where you do 1 panel a day for 31 days. Already 3 days behind, but here is panel 1, the cover. I’m doing it at 350 dpi for print, but image this is downsampled to 72 dpi. 3/3 #ClipStudioPaintPro
#inktober2019 Working on the alien drive tech since 1977, Long provides the new United Earth Space Navy with their “Battle Carrier” deep space defense vessel. A mass launch from a Pacific atoll sends a fleet to find where the aliens are from, and to negotiate an end to the war.
#inktober2019 Surprised while guarding Skylab, the prototype LFS-2 is severely damaged by a new fighter-type alien craft. Used for refueling and surveillance, the loss of Skylab is a blow to Earth’s orbital defense. The LFS-2 manages to retreat to the armed Almaz station.
#inktober2019 With their “APES” fiction exposed by the moon raid, the aliens move large spacecraft into Earth orbit, and begin destroying satellites. They are challenged by XLFS-0As from the USAF, the RAF, and the Red Air Force, all flying for the ISG.
#inktober2019 Within a year of the discovery of the alien backing of APES, Long had successfully reverse-engineered the inertial blocking tech taken from one of the alien ships. The XLFS-0 shows combining human tech with the alien exceeds both individually.
#inktober2019 The assault on Lunar City X, the APES base on the moon, reveals that an alien race is behind the attempt to keep humans from exploring space! The Cosmonauts and Astronauts fall back to their launder and escape. How will Earth respond?
#inktober2019 Staging from the Soviet Almaz space station, the Lunar Armada heads to deep space. The LLCL-2 combat lander is carried by the first commissioned spaceship, the ISS Orcus. 6 Long escort fighters, two tankers, and an Apollo CSM with a LLL-D lander complete the fleet.
#inktober2019 After a year of exploration, an accidental discovery- a hidden city near the moon’s South Pole! The ISG can’t fathom it - a group that wants to keep humans from space is living there? It will take close to another year to mount a ground assault from Earth.
#inktober2019 With Skylab damaged by an APES attack, the ISG makes an all-out effort to find their HQ. Long responds with the LDSF-1 and the tiny LLL-1... destination: Moon! It takes a Saturn 1B and 12 LHB-8 Heavy launches to support and fuel the mission.
#inktober2019 While sweeping the path to be followed by Apollo 17, a pair of LDSF-3Cs encounter 5 Crossbows- but all known APES bases have been captured! Due to the cost and risk, the Apollo program is cancelled after this flight.
#inktober2019 The ISG uses the new Long LV-21 VTOL transport to conduct multiple raids across the world after APES sabotages the Soyuz 11 spacecraft. The USAF, the Red Air Force, and the RAF all use the versatile aircraft.
#inktober2019 Between the Earth and Moon, the escort LDSF-1A fails to stop a surprise attack on Apollo 13 by the new “Crossbow-II” APES drone. With its tanks dry, the Long craft is unable to assist the astronauts and is only saved itself by a heroic LOT-E tanker rendezvous.
#inktober2019 Having previously sabotaged the Soviet N-1 Moon rocket, APES has been unable to prevent the launch of the Apollo 11 moon shot. Their last-ditch attempt to destroy the S-IVB in Earth orbit is stopped by the ramming sacrifice of the escort Long LOF-2A pilot.
#inktober2019 With the launch of Apollo 8 only months away, the USAF does a test run of orbital refueling two LOF-1A fighters from the latest stretch version of the LOT, the LOT-E. The fighters will protect the mission from APES interference.
#inktober2019 Despite ISG patrols and strikes, the APES continues threatening all space flight. Long responds with the suborbital XLSF-2. On Oct. 17, 1967 a pair of APES F-104’s prove no match for the turret cannons and vectoring engines of the Long craft.
#inktober2019 The captured space pirate ID’d the secret enemy as the Anti Planetary Exodus Society,(APES) a group bent on stopping space exploration. During 1966, Green Berets raided many APES lairs using LRP-15N rocket packs.
#inktober2019 During the first test of the LOT-A transport ship, a stowaway agent commandeers the craft. Unknown to him, the space chimp Major Minor is test subject aboard, and the animal not only knocks out the pirate, but activates the reentry system and saves the mission.
#inktober2019 A Ninja attack on Launch Pad 3, attempting to sabotage an XLSF-1 mission, is thwarted by Long’s “Two-Fisted” astronaut and close out team. The ninjas do not allow themselves to be captured, so who sent them remains a mystery.
#inktober2019 With the new LX-10C assigned to the “International Space Guard”, Long launches an escort of an Aerobee-Hi sounding rocket. When a threat intervenes, the pilot uses a jettisoned drop tank to disable it. The wreck gives clues to the sinister organization behind it.
#inktober2019 Competing for NASA funding with the X-15, the LX-9 was smaller and technically a biplane! It was slower but handled better than the X-15. The only example tested was launched from a modified LNC-31B.
#Inktober2019 Only a year after Sputnik, with funding from ARPA and then NASA, Long launches the LMSC-2A uncrewed in a bid to provide the ship for the USA’s first Man In Space. The RL-8 booster succeeds, but only 2 of the 4 capsule rockets ignite, and it tumbles to destruction.
#inktober2019 The founders of the Long Airplane Company watch Sputnik and its R-7 upper stage, launched 3 days earlier, pass over their coastal launch facility. Within a year the company will be renamed the Long Aerospace Corporation, dedicated to advances in human spaceflight.
#Inktober2019 As the Boeing 707 was entering production, Long’s competing liner design, the LPJ-100, was in flight test. With its straight, high aspect wing it was more fuel efficient but slower than the 707. It sold well enough in Europe to keep the company afloat.
#inktober2019 With the increasing power of their experimental rockets, the company needed a facility in a more remote area. Long purchased a plot on Nantucket, recently cleared by hurricanes Carol and Edna, for their new launch pads.
#inktober2019 Frustrated with the extremely short duration of the rocket thrust of the XLNC-27D, Long creates the LX-3, a much larger 4-rocket craft. During testing, a combustion chamber explosion destroys the craft, but the escape capsule works as designed, saving the pilot.
