DICK RUBY AND THE CASE OF
THE LITTLE GREEN MEN PAGE 5
http://adventuresinpulp.com/dick-ruby-page-5/
We did a
good job here of keeping the action going. Originally scripted at five panels,
Matt added panel two which lets the action breath a little. Originally in
panels 4 and 5 Dick was going to dive for the alien weapon and come up firing
it and his pistol (Tagging the alien with a bullet but blasting the tunnel with
the other weapon). I don't remember why we simplified it. It still works but it
caused us to have to drop the lines: "One hit, one miss. And it might mean
lights out for me." In retrospect, I kind of wish we had left it the other
way. My favorite moment is Dick's referring to the alien weapon as a heater. I
will confess, it was probably borne out of watching the "Star Trek"
episode "A Piece of the Action" one too many times. Although the
headless alien body and Matt's choice to do a 60s like psychedelic effect for
the weapon were a close second and third.
