Author's Notes
This was a longer, more connected narrative, than the previous book and I was experimenting with the style in this book.
This used a narrator and was a homage to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams; the little digressions and stories allowed me to add even more jokes.
I tried to limit the use of existing characters in this book and invented my own, to add to Mrs Galactus and Mrs Darkseid.
I loved writing the litrally-minded alien Tessticulatus and, his encounter with Bishop and Zemo, is the highlight of this series.
The story does have a conclusion and was a fitting end to this intiial series of books.
By the end I had decided to create something outside the superhero fantasy world; although Colin Thorson still had some fantasy elements.
Here's a selection of illustrations from the book:
Bishop is kissed off!
HMS Pedantica reveals not very much
