Wooden Ships On The Water & Childsong

Here's a couple of wonderfully groovy pieces from the Age Of Aquarius, via Star*Reach. Adapting songs into comics is something that doesn't seem to happen all that much anymore, but it was all the rage in the Bronze Age. 
Wooden Ships On The Water is from the song by Crosby, Stills & Kantner, and though I've never actually listened to it, Mike Friedrich & Steve Leialoha sure are fans. They just killed the world, man!

But hey, don't let it bring you down. The people will find a way, as proven here with Steve ( again ) and the late, great Gene Day. Beautiful, man, just beautiful.

Newton The Rabbit Wonder

For what was basically a piece of fluff that seemed made up as it went along, Newton The Rabbit Wonder sure had some heavyweight talent behind it. Newton was Steve Leialoha's contribution to Quack! and later Eclipse Magazine, and was generally about whatever Steve wanted it to be about.
Each episode follows the previous one only in the vaguest sense, as Newton hips-hops through sci-fi, sword & sorcery and, in this example, western parodies, but each strip is an absolute belter.
Drafting in Sergio Aragones for The Rabbit Wonder, and Alex Nino for The Rabbit Wonder Meets The Barbarian Bunny, by the time of this piece, Leialoha's going it solo, but it's actually the best piece. Check out pgs. 6 & 7 to see how a master cartoonist uses negative space. And how a horse called Smega can steal your strip right out from under you if you're not paying attention.

Drug Fiends Of The Martian Moon

Here's an interesting pairing; Trina Robbins & Steve Leialoha on a one-off strip for Imagine.
As a kid, I hated Trina's artwork on the occasions I came across it. Too stiff, too mannered, not the regular Marvel style I was used to at all.
Naturally, over the years, I've changed my mind, just like I did about Frank Thorne, Frank Robbins, Alfredo Alcala and so many others.
Trina later did a great strip for Epic called The Woman Who Loved The Moon, which needs to be posted here, and later still, an adaptation of Sax Rohmer's Dope for Eclipse. This piece resembles Dope in a sense, as it feels like a throwback to pulp magazine sensibilities, with it's deliberately anachronistic aliens & storyline. It's the future as seen from the '30's. It's also ( like most of Trina's stuff ) kinda sexy, with it's lesbian subtext that's not really very 'sub' at all.
