Spock's Pickled Brain

For me, raypunk is a very visually-grounded genre. I don't so much think about narrative tropes or classic storylines, but rather architecture and costumes. For that reason, it's difficult for me to put together a list of raypunk books. However, it does mean that comics, especially classic space-based comics, are a perfect medium for the genre.  Not only are they are visually-based genre, they also were born from (and continue to thrive on) bright colors, spandex, and a complete disregard for physics. I'm also rolling western animation into this as well, because a lot of the comics I discuss here are also cartoons at some point in their history. Fair warning: I know more DC titles, so a lot of the comics are going to be DC. Adam Strange You know, I've never been a huge Adam Strange fan, but it remains one of the very first things that comes to my mind when I think of the raypunk genre. He's got it all, the rayguns, the jetpack, the brightly colored spandex

To serve a noble House of the Landsraad a uniform certainly helps define where yout allegiances lie. And if one is privileged enough serve the Duke Leto Atreides in the height of his influence, a little pomp and circumstance is warranted. Thus I have made some additions and alterations to a basic thrift store vest/waistcoat in order to fit right in with the famed House at the center of the universe's intrigues in Frank Herbert's Dune . And the piece alone... To make this vest I combined some of the key elements of the Atreides uniforms seen in the 1984 film, into a vest that is a bit more like that of a courtier than that of soldier. The colors of Atreides house in the book is green, black, and red. In the 1984 film they actually keep pretty close to that, the some of the Caladan uniforms appear black but are actually a dark green. So I altered and added some details like the buttons, aiguillette, and rank badge. Vest materials -Black elaborate vest wi
