| Storm (Don Lawrence) (Comic Book) | comment |
Storm is a Science Fiction comic book series primarily produced for a Dutch audience, but started off with a British artist, Don Lawrence, and is also available in English.Very pulpy but at the same time often pretty high concept, it is set in the far future but most of the time it feels closer to Conan the Barbarian. It was essentially created as an excuse for the British artist Don Lawrence (also known for The Trigan Empire) to draw epic scenes. The early albums had the stories provided by a number of different authors of widely varying talent, the Dutch Martin Lodewijk (Agent 327) eventually becoming the exclusive writer.The series started as "Commander Grek", about an astronaut of the same name thrown into a future controlled by Fish People, a plot not unlike Planet of the Apes. This album is still counted part of the series as a sort of prequel, but disatisfaction about the story led it to be retooled to be about another astronaut named Storm. Storm is an ace astronaut in the near future, selected to be the first to explore Jupiter's red spot. However, the spot turns out to be Negative Space Wedgie, and when he emerges again there is no longer any sign of his spacefaring civilisation. Returning to Earth, he discovers that aeons have passed, many civilisations have risen and fallen again, and a primitive one very alien to him is now thriving in the lowlands that were once Earth's oceans. He quickly picks up a sword and a girlfriend, Redhair (who is also known as Ember in the most recent English translations), and what follows is nine volumes of exploring and having adventures. Ultimately he is responsible for (in the space of just two stories) exposing and then defeating the aliens secretly in charge, and then rebuilding society to the point that Earth is nice and civilised again.Realising that they had written themselves into a corner, the writers briefly mucked about with another time jump and some sentient dinosaur nonsense, and then decided on a proper retool : Storm and Redhair were transported to Pandarve, a strange world and accompanying system defying the laws of nature. Pandarve and the many other worlds in the system orbit a white hole, which spews out breathable air filling the space between the planets. Thus, once the scientific absurdity gets handwaved, you get a place where people actually travel between planets in sailships. Storm and redhair pick up a third companion, the blood red Boisterous Bruiser Nomad, and go adventuring again, often chased by Pandarve's despotic theocrat Marduk who believes that due to being a time traveler, Storm's body is key to control of the multiverse. 17 more albums were written, culminating in an epic trilogy about a Big Dumb Object intruder with some surprising inhabitants threatening the Pandarve system.The publishing tempo started to seriously lag during the production of this trilogy, and after it ended nothing happened for two years, only for Don Lawrence to die shortly before starting work on a new story in 2003. Because his irreplaceable drawing style was the heart of the series, there were serious doubts if it could be continued, but after a long search two artists were found that complementing each other's specialties might pull it off: Romano Molenaar and Jorg De Vos. A new album finally arrived in 2007, and was generally considered to be a success. Since then, albums have again appeared at a tempo of about one per year.The pre-Pandarve albums are known as the Chronicles of the Deep World, whereas the later ones are the Chronicles of Pandarve. There was also three poorly received albums drawn by another artist supposed to be set in an uneventfull period of Storm's deep world time, called the Chronicles of Meanwhile. More recently, the series has gotten a bit of a spinoff fever, in part because Don Lawrence's successors just coudn't draw fast enough and different teams were needed to maintain regular output. The Chronicles of the Outer Rim, which is more or less just regular stories by another team, seems to have stalled after just one album. A prequel centering on Redhair's adventures before she met Storm is also in the making.Not to be confused with the Marvel Comics character Storm, obviously. | |

Bizarre Alien Biology | |
| Storm (Don Lawrence) (Comic Book) / int_1161fb48 | comment |
Bizarre Alien Biology: fairly common. One city is built above a giant subterranean worm that can apparently function as its sewer. Another story has a bird that eats people who then end up alive in its eggs. And the planet Pandarve itself is a living creature whose breath has healing powers. | |

Earth That Used to Be Better | |
| Storm (Don Lawrence) (Comic Book) / int_26d48b37 | comment |
Earth That Used to Be Better: Pandarve apparently once had very advanced machinery and spaceships until that age ended for unspecified reasons. Apart from a few pockets of machine-using society here and there, the planet now operated more on a sort of sort medieval stasis level, ancient machines barely being understood anymore. | |

Awesome, but Impractical: the series breathes this. One album has castles hanging from giant zeppelins, another a city sized ship whaling a sea of lava. An early album also has a weird warship the security system of which consists of a huge amount of elaborately trapped rooms you have to cross before getting to the control center. | |

Space Pirates: encountered surprisingly rarely in the space around Pandarve (other kinds of unsavoury figures are abound though), although they do play an important role in the first album set there, "The Pirates of Pandarve". Earlier a group of Azurian space pirates played a role in "The Secret of the Nitron Rays". | |

I Have Your Wife | |
| Storm (Don Lawrence) (Comic Book) / int_6201e8b0 | comment |
I Have Your Wife: Although Ember is not Storm's wife and they don't even kiss until Don Lawrence's final album "The Armageddon-Traveller", this trope is used on Ember quite often: In "The Last Fighter", after Storm has beaten up the Champion of Soamandrakisal, Master Cush can only see one way to be saved from being lynched: Giving Storm to the city as their new Champion. And he makes it clear to Storm that if he doesn't obey, Ember will be killed. The next day, after Storm has received an explanation what is expected from a Champion, he is taken to the Temple of the local god He-Who-Must-Be-Fed, and sees Ember in a cage hanging above the god's mouth. The threat is clear: If Storm does not return, Ember will be sacrificed to the God. In "The Battle For Earth", when Storm's army has defeated the Azurians and conquered their first city, the Azurian Supervisor can demand a free retreat by putting a ray gun against Ember's head. Later, after a failed attempt to free Ember, the Azurians want Storm to come to Mars to negotiate. Which of course is a trap. If Storm refuses, Ember will be killed. In "The Creeping Death", Ember is poisoned and Yucan wants to give Storm the antidote on the condition that Storm frees Yucan's son Huatl, who has been kidnapped by an enemy tribe, the Manatecs. While Yucan initially doesn't have Ember, only the antidote that can save her, Storm is forced to leave the unconscious Ember behind to go on the quest to free Huatl. In "The Pirates of Pandarve", Marduk arranges a fake marriage with Ember to lure the Anomaly (Storm) to him. The plan does succeed, but by the time Storm (and Nomad) are captured by Marduk, Ember has already fallen in the hands of the Rebellion who also want to use her as leverage to make Storm join their side against Marduk. In "The Hounds of Marduk", an unconscious Ember is kidnapped by two members of the Rebellion while being cured with Pandarve's Breath to force Storm to surrender to them. The plan even succeeds better and quicker than they had hoped for, as Ember wakes up right when they're about to take her away, and her cries for help lure Storm and Nomad to the kidnappers who then easily can make Storm surrender by putting a knife against Ember's throat. In "The Living Planet", when Storm goes to take on the Fireworm that is destroying the ship Salmander, the captain is making it clear that Storm shouldn't think about escaping by suspending Ember above the Lava Sea. In "The Robots of Far Sied", after discovering they have boarded a slaver's ship, Storm is forced to steer the ship to wherever Mother Krone tells him to go, as Ember gets tied to a harpoon, so she can be fired into space. Later in the story, the robots force Storm to fight on life and death against Nomad. And if he doesn't obey Ember's head will get splintered like a glass orb. | |

Undressing the Unconscious | |
| Storm (Don Lawrence) (Comic Book) / int_6844f0d5 | comment |
Undressing the Unconscious: In "The Hounds of Marduk", some time off-screen between page 21 and 23, an unconscious Ember gets undressed. This is because exposing her body to a healing vapour is the only way to awaken her from the coma caused by the intoxicating effect of the waters of the sea near the exit of a living sewer. | |

Plot-Induced Illness | |
| Storm (Don Lawrence) (Comic Book) / int_815055ba | comment |
Plot-Induced Illness: The whole plot of "The Creeping Death" revolves around Storm rescuing Yucan's son Huatl from an enemy tribe in exchange for the antidote that will save a poisoned and unconscious Ember, although Storm doesn't know that Yucan's other son Kai has fallen in love with Ember and already gives her the antidote after he killed his father. Another example can be found in "The Hounds of Marduk". After our heroes have been flushed out of a gigantic earthworm and fall into the sea, Storm and Nomad appear above water quickly, but Ember gets stunned when she hits the water. Storm rescues her from drowning, but Ember has fallen into a sort of drugged state because of the water being polluted by the waste-products of the earthworm. The only way to cure her is with the healing vapour called "Pandarve's Breath", and this is done by fastening Ember to a crane, so her legs can be lowered into the pit from which Pandarve's Breath is coming out. But an unconscious woman hanging outside is an easy prey for an abduction by a rebel group to force Storm to surrender to them. | |

Chastity Couple: Its clear from the occasional jealous comment that Storm and Redhair are a couple, but otherwise this is never commented upon, nor are they prone to physical contact or interact in any way other then friends would. Only at the very end of the very last story painted by Don Lawrence, "The Armageddon Traveller", we can see Ember kissing Storm. One could also say that there's a clear sign that Storm and Ember are a couple in "The Return of the Red Prince", as we can see them walking into Nomad's hometown with their arm around each other while being naked. Hardly the physical contact 'just good friends' would make. | |

Rerouted from Heaven: In an environment in the intruder, the characters are welcomed to the seventh heaven, but then quickly banished to hell after the angels freak out over them having genitals. | |

Big Red Devil | |
| Storm (Don Lawrence) (Comic Book) / int_d1814802 | comment |
Big Red Devil: in Marduk's Springs an evil big red devil-looking creature called Satan shows up, in a civilization that is in no way connected to Earth. The background dossier implied it may have come from another location in the multiverse. | |

Unwilling Suspension | |
| Storm (Don Lawrence) (Comic Book) / int_d3c6cf4f | comment |
Unwilling Suspension: Happens to Ember in "The Living Planet" to make sure Storm won't flee when fighting the Fireworm, and after being captured in "The Mutineers of Anchor". A variation can be seen in "The Hounds of Marduk", but this time an unconscious Ember is tied to a crane and her legs lowered into a pit of healing vapour. | |

Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale | |

Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale: wind-powered ships travel between the planets in the Pandarve system. The the vast emptiness of the void between the worlds is only brought up whenever someone gets stranded. | |

Fourth Wall: Played With a few times in the trilogy about the intruder. When the godess Pandarve is ready playing with a Western enviroment she created, a director is seen yelling cut, and a clapboard featuring the name of the writer and illustrator of the comic are shown. Later, Storm is introduced to uploads of two people introduced as his parent, in reality Don Lawrence and his wife, living in a simulation of their actual real-life home | |

Powered by a Forsaken Child | |
| Storm (Don Lawrence) (Comic Book) / int_e957bb74 | comment |
Powered By A Forsakenchild: In "The Von Neumann Machine", a fragment of the goddess Pandarve posing as Alice from Alice in Wonderland voluntarily straps herself to the exhaust of a broken rocket and burns herself up in order to propel the rocket to its destination. Counts as an example due to her not really being a child because Redhair feels bad for her and needs to be reminded of what she really is. | |

God's Hands Are Tied: Pandarve has to dangerously delegate the task of dealing with the intruder to her system because most of her energy is allocated to solving Fermat's last theorem. | |

Improbable Antidote: in "The Hounds of Marduk", Ember has fallen into a drugged state after she has fallen into a sea polluted with waste products from a gigantic earthworm. To save her from internal drowning as well as to wake her up from her unconscious state, she's tied to a crane, after which her legs are lowered into a pit with healing vapour called "Pandarve's Breath". | |

The Starscream: Marduk is supposed to be his goddess' humble servant, defending her interests among the population while she does things more fittingly of a god. But he's constantly scheming to gain more power, ideally control over the whole multiverse, and has no qualms directly disobeying her along the way. | |

Counter-Earth | |
| Storm (Don Lawrence) (Comic Book) / int_f005213 | comment |
Counter-Earth: a robot-inhabited one opposite the white hole from Pandarve makes an appearance in The Robots of Far Sied. The trope is slavishly followed in that it is explained that this has kept the two civilizations from meeting each other, which is pretty confusing since the solar system is widely traveled. | |

Human Aliens | |
| Storm (Don Lawrence) (Comic Book) / int_f4aeb714 | comment |
Human Aliens: Pandarve and its children are mainly inhabited by Human looking and acting people, though they are supposedly in no way connected to Earth Humans. The early Pandarve albums tended to intersperse a Humanoid Alien here and there to liven things up, but as time went by this became rarer and rarer. | |

Artistic License – Physics | |
| Storm (Don Lawrence) (Comic Book) / int_fc225bec | comment |
Artistic License – Physics: In Pandarve's system a planet's gravity is independent of its size, and stops having any influence a certain distance above its surface so that worlds can be very close to each other. Some planet look like weird mathematical shapes. Between these planets is breathable air (spewed out by a constant rate by a white hole sun), complete with winds in which sail ships looking just like the ones in Earth's oceans can travel. These ships, although traveling in a weightless environment, themselves have gravity, derived simply from storing a bit of soil from a planet with suitable gravity in their bellies. | |
