3R Home Page Guestbook

I noticed from your biography some crossovers with mine. My hippy travelings were more with a safety line than yours, less fuck-it-all abandon. Even though I ran away from being an engineer/mathematician/computer scientist again and again, and was willfully unemployed for years, I wound up at various times reluctantly using my education to make some money. I spent 8 month travelling through Asia 70-71, a year teaching in Oregon 74-75, then hanging out in Berkeley and Paris 75-77, went to China 78 (before they opened up) and then SE Asia. I did a few trips to Mexico also, including the summer of 75, where my favorite place was also Oaxaca. I see that you lived at a dormitory in Nærum. The first full year I spent in Denmark was at the Povl Bergsøe Kollegiet in Nærum, 69-70 - maybe the same place that you were?

Looking forward to seeing you again, maybe at DA (I can't come next time) or some other time.

Said this.. I hope I don't disturb, I'm writing you regarding my first Kickstarter for my Comic Book: Invisible War. It is a comic book fully painted in acrylics. I have put a lot of energies in the making, in the artwork and in the campaign itself. I've been working on this project since the beginning of this year... now the book is ready and I really wish to see it printed! I'm sending you a link to the kickstarter page, hopefully you'll be intrigued and might help me make this project a reality! By the way, any feedback from you and any suggestion based on your experience on Kickstarter would be much appreciated! :-) Diego

Also, I live in Malaysia, in SE Asia. Comics at that time came in random slipshod fashion, alright if you wanted Marvel and DC, but a challenge to order from smaller publishers. I ordered, reordered and finally almost 2 years later, managed to get the 2nd Book of Amageddonquest.

Blown away doesn't quite describe it. It imprinted me, or maybe resonated with truths of ... something. In another year I had all three books and finished the bittersweet story of AQ, hoping this Roach guy would write the sequel.

Then one day I lost all of my huge library in a moving accident. AQ was the book I kept hunting for everywhere, but it was out of print, even impossible to get online.

And now, hey, its all online. Still brilliant, hopefully a little prophetic.

Thank you. There are no accidents. It played its part in making my life what it is now. Alas, no Avatar advantages!

I hope you repackage the comics in an online format, yes I could download each of them, but I'd love a cbr. format. But thats a tiny fraction of hoping for AQ sequels; if nothing else to answer who deflected the missiles shot at Tazio as he was freefalling to Meggido.

again, thanks 3R. Cheers.

I first received and read AQ about a year or so after Sirius published the books. In fact, I think the first real AQ story I read was the short one published in Cry For Dawn (I have no idea which issue). So now, I'm 23, been a year out of art school, trying to do my best in the illustration and comics world, and only now do I write you to tell you how much I love AQ.

I think what sparked this letter is that I just got through reading all 3 books again, this time in one sitting at my day job (Gallery Monitor). It pretty much worked out to a book a day. The book affects people, and affected me. I was driving home and listening on NPR about more Israeli/Palestinian conflict and could help wondering facetiously if Anton was behind any of it. You've made the books so believable by including elements from all sorts of religion, histories and New Age thought, that I wonder how much of it YOU believe. Sure, the people may be fictionalized, but the themes, the idea that life is just one big game played by cosmic brats - it's certainly not out of the question!

Perhaps the theme of the entire story is that it's not right for anyone to play God - even God! This is certainly Tazio's belief, and yet he learns, too that some people must be 'guided' and that only a select few individuals do not grow out of their sheep-like tendencies. Although humans posess something that may be construed as intelligence, the leader/follower relationship is completely natural in all social creatures and thus is not necessarily a bad thing. I think Tazio comes to accept this as Immanuel seems to have long ago.

On a complete gushing fan level, I wanted to know if there are any other comics you've done that could in some way relate to the world of AQ, and where I could possibly get them. I seem to remember seeing an Adam and Eve-ish story that you did at some point, although maybe I'm making that up. I don't know if you ever make it to shows or anything in the U.S., but I've begun a sketchbook in which fellow artists or artists that I admire have done drawings for me and I would love to see a 3R in there some day, or see any of your original art for that matter.

I have done a drawing of some of the AQ characters I'd love to send you, but I didn't want to clog up your email inbox with an attachment unless it was okay. I'm sure your vision has blurred, so I'll conclude this letter with a big thank you and a healthy admiration for AQ and your work.

PS     yeah so I just re-read what I wrote and if you've made it this far I'll give you the Cliff's Note version of what I was trying to say: AQ Is the best thing I've ever read and thanks for writing it.
