Here is the last (well, almost) of the Captain Powerchord posts, this time showing the two posters I drew for the Captain Powerchord Special in May and September 1996, plus a Battle of the Bands poster I drew for a friend in 1994. The first from the Special features Agent O-U-R-A-1 (what a totally horrible name 'The Castrator' is, even as a joke I wouldn't choose that now) with a few of her favourite quotes, while the other features all the main - and a few of the minor - characters from the eight strips.

This was one of the extra pages I made for the Captain Powerchord Special in 1996, a little fun page of puzzles for the reader to do in a few spare minutes featuring characters from the strips.

I hunted through some old folders to find the original artwork for the Captain Powerchord History of Rock'n'Roll Board Game (1996) and was delighted to find it again. It's been great fun looking over it and remembering that is actually great fun to play as well!

The game takes you from humble beginnings to stardom via 1950s rock'n'roll, the swinging sixties, the progressive and punky seventies, the MTV eighties, and up to the mid nineties, while all the time you must accumulate hits and avoid obscurity. I do remember the first part of the game, where you have to escape your roots, can be quite difficult, so feel free to make that a little easier if you wish - but the frustration can be part of the fun!

The eighth and final Captain Powerchord strip was drawn for the Captain Powerchord Special in August and September 1996. I knew this was going the be the last one I'd draw, so made it a four pager and included a number of characters from previous episodes.

The seventh Captain Powerchord strip was drawn for the Captain Powerchord Special that was eventually published late in 1996. Unlike the previous one page episodes for 5D, I allowed myself the luxury of two pages, though page one was drawn in April 1995 and page two over a year later in May 1996.
