Greetings All,
I found a bunch of great comic books at Heros Aren't Hard To Find in Charlotte, NC. These are the ones illustrated by Bob Ross. I have two of the Trial by Fire series.
I will post the cover and first page below. If requested, I will post the comics a page at a time. If it doesn't violate any laws.
Do you mean Alex Ross? The ones released by Top Cow?

Yes. Those are the ones I mean. Thanks Maddy. I should know better than to post after 36 hours with no sleep.
I'm posting the cover in the gallery.

That is a nice scan Dragonsbain. Too bad we can not attach links anymore it would make it much easier. I never know when new images have been posted in the gallery.
Pssst, is it work that is keeping you up for 36 hours? If so I don't think I would enjoy your job.

How great would it be to have a BOTP comic illustrated by Bob Ross? All those happy little trees everywhere, beautiful mountain scenery and a fantastic sunset at the end of every story.
Not sure what his mechs would be like, although I have a mental image of a happy little squirrel.
Moving it over here...
I got the IMG link (what the Gallery calls "BB code") to the Gallery to work
A very cool image and one I've not seen before -thanks, Dragonsbain! I'd like to see more of the comic.

Thanks, LB. You are great at doing this type of thing. It had never even occurred to me something like that was possible.

Iborgia thanks much. You need to tell me how to post the images on the thread.
Meridianday: LOL. I used to see Bob Ross on TV. Happy little tree guy.
CD: Yes. But I look at it this way. Every hour dealing with stupid people and bad guys is one less bill in the draw. I've paid off my husband's kidney transplant. He received it in 2007.
Hi all,
I'm going to try and post the next couple of pages.
They are in the Gallery. 
OMG! I figured it out. 
Glad you've figured it out, Dragonsbain!
Hey, it's the Turtle King captain from episode 1 -I recognize him.
Interesting that the action here is going on "deep within" the Himalayas on Earth -sort of suggesting Galactor's Karakoram headquarters, although this is Battle of the Planets.
I'm getting a bit of a chuckle from Zoltar being an "engineer of frightening brilliance" with "meticulous and methodical plans," considering how badly so many of his mecha fare against G-Force in the many television episodes. Nevertheless, I appreciate the darker and more sinister tone this comic is using.
I look forward to seeing some more...
Thanks for posting!
The story seems to cut very abruptly from the airliner pilots saying "God help us," to the close-ups of the five G-force members' weapons, to them all attacking... a one-man Spectran aircraft of some kind (nice view of Jason) Or is this all a quick-intro, with the main story and action still to come?
I notice that in his "We're sending out a serious message..." speech bubble, Keyop isn't broot-dooting. Does he have regular speech in the Top Cow comics, or is that not actually him talking there?

Great job at figuring out how to post images Dragonsbain and thank you for taking the time to post the images.
The picture of Jason is only half of the picture. 
I don't know what happened. When I get home later today I'll post the left half of the picture. I'm glad everyone is enjoying the comic.

Dragonsbain, I still can not see the first half of that two page layout. Are you down loading these images to another site? Because I can not even find it(them) over in the gallery section, on this site either. I only see the latest three you have posted.

I'll repost them.
That would be great. This morning, I even tried clearing my cache and restarting my browser (incase it was a problem with my computer) to see if that might make the correct images appear. Thank you, Dragonsbain.
Dragonsbain, thanks for posting the comics. Me and my daughter have some of these at home and I enjoyed reading them again. 
Great job!
Great job!
I like the artwork a lot. Not so keen on Jason's "At least I get off on chicks instead of food," remark -that doesn't sound like Jason. Even Joe wasn't quite that mean to Ryu. I've heard though, that Jason wasn't so much like himself in the Top Cow comics.
Thanks for posting, Dragonsbain -I've heard a lot about these comics over the years, but have never seen one in its entirety.

Thanks Dragonsbain. Now I was able to read it and it made more sense. I take it Mark is about to take off with the team - probably in the next issue and help those people. 
I'm starting to see where this story's going, I think. Interesting that inside politics and "turf wars" are involved, and that the team is apparently still relatively new and unproven.
Nice that there's no Zark! (Or at least, not yet.)
I used photoshop here to recombine the two halves of the earlier pic, to see what it looks like all together.
A pretty cool image!

Thank you for doing that, LB. I was wondering if it was something I could figure out how to do for myself. Now I guess I don't need to.

I like seeing the doubt expressed, even if it is by Keyop the youngest member.

Great images, Dragonsbain! Thanks for posting! It's wonderful to see them 'larger than life'!
I agree, it's a nice touch realism that Keyop is nervous about killing. I see his speech is all normal in these comics (a good thing, as his stutters really wouldn't come across well at all in written dialogue). I wonder if he's still "grown from a single cell in a lab" here?
Curious to see what Princess says to him...
(Can't really see him having a "porn stash" though. Will tell myself Princess is teasing him a bit, and his "stash" was just some lingerie catalogs...)

I agree LB, the porn stash was a little "out there". Maybe a comic book stash instead since I can't even imagine a boy of Keyop's age even being interested in lingerie or the catalogs - although, with three older brothers like he has, who knows.

Let's see what the team does.
The reaction of Tiny reminds me a lot of the recent Dr. Who episode, "The Doctor's Wife".

I had to laugh because Mark has a telephone with a "wire" in his cockpit, instead of a cellphone. When was this published again? Early 2000's, I guess that would explain the size of Jason's cell.

Clouddancer this was published August 2002. That would explain Jason's brick phone.
But obviously it's a 'brick' phone because it's a high security, scrambled and untraceable signal.
Or it could be Jason's own choice to own a more substantial device - I mean, how hard would it be to hold one of today's tiny and thin phones between your shoulder and ear while driving and shooting at goons?
Yeaaaaaaaaaaaah, I am ignoring the whole headphones and mic thing, aren't I? Ummm... he doesn't like the earbuds? *snigger*

Earbuds are too girly for the Condor.
Yeah, phones have gotten a lot smaller over the years! 
Hmm, any chance the cord on Mark's phone is just a tether so he doesn't lose it inside the cockpit if he's doing rolls, dives etc.?
Thinking of the BF here, who has an amazing knack for losing his cell phone inside his car -though at least in a car you can pull over somewhere and stop fairly easily to relocate it again.
