4th and final image of a series from 1972. Designed & drawn by Ken Fletcher; requested by (and with input by) Louis Abdulrahman Fallert ("BluePetal"). This work was strongly influenced by the 1960s comic strip stories and art by Vaughn Bode. (In particular, "The Junkwaffel Invasion of Kruppenny Island", a 4-page story from 1968.)
This is an infantry sergeant from a nation of 13-lined ground-squirrels. The technology is the equivalent of 1940s, 1950s, & 1960s. Other nations would be represented by other animal anthropomorphic species.
Louis Fallert had been thinking of building a setting for stories and/or military board-games. He was working on a nation of rabbit-people, and mapping out story settings. As best I know, nothing more was done with his plans for developing the setting.
BluePetal was perhaps distracted in 1973 by being a VERY early adopter of Fantasy Role-Playing Games. He was a notable FRP Gamesmaster in local Saint Paul variant fantasy games.

These works of yours were very interesting, thanks for sharing. I have finally given a name to a few pics i saw on old comic magazines and never identified as Bodè works. I think he wasn't vastly published here in Italy. It's a very typical style of old indipendent comic art, and i appreciate it a lot. The same i can see in these last pics (that are as old as i am, aaah!)
Loving these. I've been a Vaughn Bodē fan since the late '90s, when my oldest brother gave me a stack of comics. I collected some of the missing issues over the years. The paper is getting old and fragile now (over fifty years!) so I wish somebody would start publishing digital copies...
