HARDWIRE - SPECIAL "MEGA" ISSUE 1
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
by: Mike Haba
PROLOGUE:
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
"When we evaluate what has hitherto been worshiped as
super-human intellect, as genius, we come to the sad
conclusion that the intellectuality of mankind must on
whole have been very low and wretched: so little intellect
was required to feel considerably superior!...
People kneel down - like slaves - before power, and the
degree of intellectual power will determine the degree
of veneration."
-- Friedrich Nietzsche.
It has been surmised that humans on average use only
approximately 14 percent (figures vary widely) of their total
brain power. If we could access the remaining 86 percent, we
would be able to perform wonders beyond belief. We would no
longer perceptualize reality in the same way. Things which
we now consider impossible would be actuated at the mere
thought... reading people's minds, having conversations
without verbal or gestural communication, healing fatal
wounds, moving massive and/or heavy objects without physical
exertion or even contact, flight (insofar as it being an
advanced form of telekinesis) -- (*HINT* for the beginning
of ISSUE 2... hehe), et cetera... the ultimate expression
of mind over matter.
INTRODUCTION:
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
In the year 2025, a pestilence of megadeath proportions has
infiltrated the common populace. Any attempts to develop a cure
have been met with failure. The situation escalates to that of
global crisis.
The HARDWIRE experiment ensues...
The greatest scientists collaborate and devise an alternate
means of preserving humanity. Their intent is on creating a
"super-human" who has the ability to survive any environment
confronted with. A revolutionary microchip is developed, which
when surgically implanted, stimulates specific unused portions
of the brain as required by the host. It is in these unused
portions that scientists find dormant powers of immeasurable
potential.
PERSONAL NOTE:
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Greetings to all fellow Amiga artists! Well, here it is! I've
just finished it! This is the 1st Special "Mega" Issue of
HARDWIRE, the current Command Line BBS Sci-Fi online comix
series. Actually, I never intended for this comic to be
released as it is now. I planned on doing an entire comic
(approx. 20 pages) myself, but I ended up not having the time
to do so. Rather than leaving the comic incomplete, I decided
on introducing it as the 6th CLBBS online comix series, thereby
letting other artists continue the storyline at their
discretion. Have fun with it guys!
This issue was completed over a period of approximately one
month using the DCTV, Deluxe Paint v4.1, Digital Illusions,
and -- modesty aside -- a tonne of creative effort (hehe).
Despite the fact that I eventually released this as a public
comic (multiple contributors), I don't intend on apologizing
for the vulgarity ($#!T my head hurts!) on the first story
page. What I was trying to capture in the art was a sense of
realism, and I don't think "Holy-headache Batman!" would have
accomplished this.
I play the part of all 7 characters, and I must say I enjoyed
drawing the differences in appearance (ie. mohawk and scalp of
the first punk).
Well, that's about it! I hope you enjoy viewing this as much
as I had creating it! If for any reason you wish to contact
me, I can be reached at these BBSes:
