Captain Scarlet warmup sketch inks all scanned.  I used to watch Thunderbirds as a kid, but could never bring myself to watch Captain Scarlet, even though he seemed infinitely cooler than the Tracy brothers.
So what was so terrifying about a kids TV show from the 60’s?  This is the intro http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bV8YbLvGrb0 and you tell me :P

One of the comic book ideas that hangs around in the back of my head from when I was a kid is a modern “dark” updating of Captain Scarlet. I just figure the psychology of an indestructible man would be really interesting to explore. Also, you could do some great, over the top violence. It’ll never, ever happen, but still; there it is, at the back of my brain, festering away. And now I know who I want to draw it instead of me. This does not help at ALL
