And now we'll be getting to the last to share from this issue. Page 32 is an Innovation ad for something that supposedly was going to be "beginning next month": a two part mini-series entitled
Lost In Space: Project Robinson. Apparently according to the ad, Part 1 was to feature the early life of Dr. Maureen Robinson, and Part 2 was to feature the early life of Professor John Robinson.

(And yes, Favorite Painter is one of the categories - what a shame Gothick and patrickm probably never got the chance to vote for Felipe Echevarria!
) Which brings us to the back cover:

And one does have to wonder if it was really such a good idea to have Jose Pimentel draw the back cover head portraits. Doesn't his excellent depictions of the characters only call more attention to Felipe Echevarria's often, um, unique take on the characters? But I suppose we're not supposed to go there...
And don't think for a second that this will be the last post in this topic or even the last topic on the Innovation DS comics. No, no, no. There's still more material regarding Book 3, including images that were never released (though none were done by Felipe Echevarria, and I know how extremely disappointing that must be to learn
). And there's material regarding completely unreleased Book 4, including images that were never released. And when I dug out SG #67 today to scan, I discovered more '93 NYC Fest photos...
