Oh, no! Not a flashback! A flashback?! What is he thinking?
Okay, I don’t know if you guys hate flashbacks as much as I do, but after much deliberation on my part I decided that this one was necessary. It pains me very much to do this, but sometimes it needs to be done. Don’t worry, it’ll be only two pages long.
As you may recall, Captain Robinson has in the past lost two ships. The one depicted here is the second, the RAS Galileo. You may also notice that this is an Astor Airlines ship: Prior to the founding of Kindler Airlines, Astor Airlines was the only airship line in the United States, so Robinson was at that time an employee of Astor.
Anyway, my deepest apologies. We’ll get back to the real story shortly.
Flashbacks are OK, if they are really short. Anyway, like you said this flash back is necessary. Ever since the first comic page I wondered what had happened to the two ships. It's good we find out.
Yeah, flashbacks are fine. They can add a lot of background details and fill in the blanks when needed. Nothing wrong with flashbacks. I like the first panel drawing. Very effective. Cheers Duffy.
