Hello folks! So this was my 2017 gift exchange present for The Great Hippo, concerning his ever-delightful hard-boiled metanarrative character Murphy Law.
I have a ton of attributions to get out of the way, so let's do that.
None of these comics were originally drawn by me, I just did the photoshopping1. All of the comic art was sourced from the following comic strips:
Buck Ryan created by Don Freeman and artist Jack Monk, retrieved from here and here
War on Crime by Rex Collier and artists Kemp Sterrett and Jimmy Thompson, retrieved from here.
Both Buck Ryan and War on Crime are in the public domain. I checked.
Some other details were CC0 from Pixabay
Daevic runes or SCP-2140-ML! depending on your interpretation are taken from SCP-2140, originally created with fonts by Juan Carlos Porcel from http://elderprops.tumblr.com/post/89934858272/free-fonts-necrofonticon2. All under CC.
And the picture 7 was created using this image, CC BY 2.0 by bittbox.
Also not required for attribution, but I'm very grateful for the font VTC Letterer Pro.
And I linked them above, but Comic Book Plus, a free collection of public domain comics and pulp novels, really saved my ass on this one. If you're into that stuff, check 'em out.
