Uniman Comics

Off-topic

I feel like making a thread to make it easier for people to read the Uniman comic issues so here goes

Uniman #1

Panel 1: A business woman walks down a street at the end of her day. We see her from far away, walking by tall buildings with alleyways.

Panel 2: Close-up to the woman. Her face is tired and she is distracted by texting on her phone. Behind her shoulder, following her, we see three unsavoury sorts.

Panel 3: The three men grab the woman and force her into an alleyway, she cries out, but nobody hears her.

Panel 4: Further in the alley, Man 1 holds her from behind covering her mouth, while Man 2 and 3 search through her purse.
Man 2 :“There’s nothin in her wallet”
Man 1: “Cheap bitch!”

Panel 5: Man 3 holds the purse loosely in a close-up
Man 3: “Then she’ll have to pay us in a different currency”
Man 1 & 2:“hahaha!”

Panel 6: Man 3 is rifling the woman’s skirt as man2 eggs him on. We see them with the alleyway entrance behind them.

Panel 7: Much the same but now we see the scene as if we are standing in the alleyway entrance. There is a uniquely shaped shadow falling across the muggers.
Shadow: “Prepare to be rolled!”

Panel 8: Man 1,2,3 and woman closeup. They looked perplexed (to say the least).
Man 1:“What the - ?!”

Panel 9: a giant wheel starts to from and it rolls down the alley and crushes men

Panel 10: shows a bigger shadow with a unicycle on top of a building with his face at his watch with a bubble that says
uniman: munigirl i think we found him

Panel 11: “Hey U… I think you lost a wheel”, she glibs as she regains her balance.

Panel 12: Uniman, on top of the building looking down on BC boy crushing the bad guys, sounds of screaming.
Uniman:I haven’t heard that one before Munigirl
Uniman (thinking): I think I’m in love…
Munigirl: (from Uniman’s watch): How’s BC doing?

Panel 13: Looking from alleyway up to sillouette of Uniman on top of building. BC Boy has the three baddies crushed under him. The woman, totally freaked out, is running off leaving her purse.
Uniman: I have to work on his public relations.

Panel 14: Uniman is seen jumping down on his unicycle into the alleyway, while BC Boy transforms back into his human alter-ego.

Panel 15: BC Boy is holding the woman’s purse as Uniman idles on his unicycle
BC Boy: She left her purse. Why do they always run off and leave their purse? They never do it with you!
Uniman: I’ve told you BC, people don’t expect to see someone turn into a giant wheel. You have to enter the scene as one. Be brave!

Panel 16: roughly the same as before
BC Boy: Be brave?! Be brave?! The only reason I’m stopping the mugging these days is because you can’t stand one more jibe of “Hey! Clown-boy! You lost a wheel!”
Uniman: No! I’m training you to be my sidekick!
BC Boy: Whatever, clown-boy

Panel 17: Our heros are making their way out of the alley
Uniman: What did you call me?
BC Boy: Nothin!

Panel 18: Caption LATER AT THE UNIMANSION

Panel 19: sees unimans parents inside the unimasion

panel 20: explosion in the room that unmans parents are in

panel 21: cuts across to unimans arch nemesis ’ THE RINGMASTER ’ and he says hahahahahahahahahahahaha sucked in uniman

Panel 22: Uniman’s face highlighted by the flames:
Uniman: NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooo!!! (cue Skywalker chipmunk face)

Caption:DISASTER! WILL OUR HERO EVER RECOVER? WILL HE FIND OUT WHO IS BEHIND THIS MONSTROSITY? WHO WILL COOK HIM DINNER NOW? AND WHO IS… THE RINGMASTER?!?

Uniman #2

Panel 1: Cemetary, bird’s eye view. There is a burial taking place. We can just make out BC Boy and Uniman holding his unicycle amongst the older adults.

Panel 2: Close-up to BC Boy and Uniman in black suits. BC Boy is looking side-long at Uniman, who is obviously holding back tears.

Panel 3: A bungalow, outside. While the wake is obviously going on inside, we can see Uniman standing in the garden, holding his unicycle as BC Boy makes his way to him from the house.
BC: Hey… er… people are asking after you

Panel 4: Uniman’s face. We can see BC Boy behind him.
Uniman: Let them ask.

Panel 5: Uniman faces BC Boy.
Uniman: Who are they anyway? They didn’t know my parents! They didn’t know what good unicylists they were!! I heard some people snigger when they buried Mum’s coker!!

Panel 6: Same, but Uniman is deflated, BC has his hand on Uniman’s shoulder.
BC Boy:What are you going to do now?

Panel 7: Close-up Uniman’s face.
Uniman: I’m going to find out who did this!! And I’m going to have my vengeance!!!

Panel 8: Much the same
BC Boy: But you and I both know… we’re not good enough to take anyone on who’ll expertly blow up a room in a mansion leaving no evidence or structural damage conveniently allowing us to remain there and make it our headquarters. We’re going to need help.

Panel 9: View from slightly above. The shadow of a penny-farthing floats on them.
Panny-Father: I will help.

Panel 10: We see BC Boy and Uniman from behind beholding Penny Father, an olllllld man with a lonnnnng white beard sitting on a penny farthing.
Uniman: How can you hold it still like that and not fall?
Penny Father: There is much to teach you… Uniman

Panel 11: same
Uniman: You know my identity!
Penny Father: I know a lot more than that. I’m old and wise. So there.

Panel 12: Uniman is mounting
Penny Father: Come, I have much to tell you… about a legacy, of which you are now the bearer!
Uniman: But what about who killed my parents??

Panel 13: They are all rolling
Penny Father: He is known only as the Ringmaster… but you are not ready for him yet. There are other foes to face first!

Panel 14: Caption IN THE UNIMANSION, MONTHS OF TRAINING LATER:
We see the inside of a large gym that has blast holes, broken wooden dummies, burn marks, scratches. Uniman is mounted on his unicycle, but staying perfectly balanced without moving. Penny Father stands nearby.
Penny Father: Excellent

Panel 15: An extreme closeup to the bottom of Uniman’s unicycle. He is balancing on a spoon that is standing upright.
Uniman: Now how do I dismount?

Panel 16: Uniman and Penny Father are leaving the gym.
Uniman: It’s been five months of nothing but training. I’ve eaten on my uni, I’ve slept on my uni, I’m sore all over and I don’t want to start about the chafing. And still the Ringmaster goes unpunished!! I don’t care if I’m ready or not, I’m going to find him and -
Penny Father: But you are ready

Panel 17: Close up to their faces.
Uniman: I am?
Penny F: I suppose. But before you follow in your parent’s footsteps, and seek justice, kindness, and the correct care of cute creatures on one wheel, I have something for you. Dismount.

Panel 18: Uniman (sans unicycle) and PF are standing by a closet door, PF is beholding a really cool looking unicycle.
PF: Behold! The unicycle used by all the generations of Uniman! Handmade, each generation has added to it or improved it. And within the seatpost, lie the ashes of your ancestor Dick.

Panel 19: Uniman’s face with a look of disgust.
Uniman: My ancestor’s what?!? Oh… yeah, great great great great great great Grandad Richard.

Panel 20: Uniman is holding the unicycle, a look of wonder on his face.
Uniman: It’s so light!
PF: Use it wisely, Uniman. And use the mini-muni-missiles hidden in the seat even more wisely… your grandfather nearly didn’t have kids…

Panel 21: BC Boy rushes to Uniman and PF
BC: My god! Look at the news!! There’s a hoard of bicylists robbing a bank!

Panel 22: Uniman mounting unicycle.
Uniman: Let’s go stop those maniacs!!!

Panel 23: Caption: MEANWHILE AT THE BANK
Aerial view of the bank. There is a hoard of bicylists surrounding it and in it. Police cars are parked all around.
Police megaphone: You can’t escape! We’ve surrounded the building!

Panel 24: Ground level, we see bicyclists with bags of swag swarming the police cars, easily slipping by the vehicles. Policemen and pedastrians are being knocked over.
Policeman: They’re just cutting through us! I hate when cyclists do that!!

Panel 25: Bicyclists are all cycling together down a street, laughing

[Note: The bicyclists all wear tight fitting clothing and helmets of the same colour, save the lead bicyclist who wears two colours

Panel 26:They all have halted suddenly in front of a shadow shaped like a unicycle and a giant BC Wheel.
Uniman’s shadow: Will you babies ever grow up and take off your training wheel?

Panel 27: Side view: The cyclists all start cycling towards Uniman and BC Boy.
Lead Bicyclist: Come on lads, wheel run 'em down!

Panel 38: The lead bicyclist is watching our heros depart from the pile. He has a radio to his face (the kind bike messengers have)
Lead bicyclist: Boss… good news… guess who’s back in town.

CaptionWHAT CAN THIS CRYPTIC RADIO MESSAGE MEAN? WHO CONTROLS THE BICYCLE HOARD? WHY DO BICYCLISTS WEAR THOSE FUNNY SHORTS? JOIN UNIMAN IN THE NEXT ISSUE, ENTITLED ‘#3’!!!

Three Librarians are at the end of the room, and BC Boy 1, unconcious, is being supported by BC Boy 2, facing the librarians. The middle Librarian is obviously the Head Librarian, for she has horn-rimmed glasses with a beaded glasses retainer and wears a flowery blouse
BC Boy 2: Here he is, the original BC Boy, just like you wanted
Head Librarian: Excellent! We shall keep him here, place him in a trance and make him shelve books for the rest of his days! And then he shall be Archived! While you shall take his place in the outside world, causing havoc!

Panel 27: Same as above, but BC Boy 1 is on floor
All: Bwahahahahahaaaaa!

Panel 28: Same as before

Panel 8: Close-up of Uniman’s incredulous face
Uniman: What?!?

Panel 9: Angelic shot of Good Boy
Good Boy: Fighting is evil, so I will not condone it by doing it myself. To physically fight evil because it fights, would only mean I have also become evil.

Voice from inside photocopy room: Ahh, just the person we were expecting. I think you’re making just a litle bit too much noise in the Library…

Panel 20: Librarius stands in the photocopy room doorway wiht an evil grin. Henchmen are behind her
Librarius: Uniman!!

Well then, if only someone that had a macbook could actually make it into a comic using comic life.

9

I have comic life but, I am too lazy to make it and I don’t have any time, I’ll probably, start on it after my surgery, anyway this thread is mainly where I am going to repost the comic panels the Unicyclists Superhero is where we discuss things related to the comic

10

wow that was excessively long. sorry, havent got the time to read it.
it must be good though!

11

Why because it is long? I hope you don’t live your life this way, you will be very dissapointed by many movies, not to mention textbooks, they are long, but that doesn’t mean they are good to read.

12

Hey no Thread jacking!!! Geez take this discussion to MR

13

no, of course not because it it long. there are many long things i have read or watched ect and they were a waste of my life. but i have read one of the comics before, and it was quite creative!

14

GEEZ, anyway Blame Samia for it being long she wrote it all

15

Wow… How long did it take you to type all this stuff up?

16

with the wonder of copy and paste about 3 minutes…

17

Hehe these are awsome:D

18

Panel 21: Side view again, hench-Library-men are picking Uniman up
Librarius (from inside Photocopy room): Bring him inside, and don’t forget his unicycle!

Panel 22: Close-up of BC Boy’s face, but with enough view to see Uniman being dragged towards the Photocopy room. BC Boy’s face has an expression of complete shock, his irises are very pale and he is completely frozen
Librarius (from inside Photocopy room): And where is that Evil Boy? I swear, I need to put a leash on him. Where’s he got to?

Panel 23: Inside the Photocopy room. It is a medium sized room. As we view it from above, the door is in the bottom left corner. The Photocopier of Souls sits against the right wall, with a dim green light under it’s cover. It has strange valves and tubes, with strange liquid pumping into it and bizzare controls, and hanging off the side is a booklet with a handy explanation of what to do if there is a jam. The Henchmen are dragging Uniman and his unicycle to the machine. Librarius walks to her practical office chair at the back of the room, where there is another door.
Librarius: Despite Evil Boy’s mysterious absence, at least he did his job and weakened you, Uniman! You are powerless to stop my plans! And now I shall do to you what I did to BC Boy!
Uniman: groan

Panel 24: Close up on Librarius’ face, underlit by green light
Librarius: Get me two copies of Uniman!!

Panel 25: Back outside the Photocopy room, close-up of BC Boy’s legs. His hand is dropping a book on the floor. We see a whirring sound coming from the Photocopy Room
Librarius (from inside Photocoy room): And you an squeeze his unicycle in with him, no need to waste space when photocopying!

Panel 26: Close-up of BC Boy’s face. The colour has returned to his eyes!
BC Boy: U… Uniman?

Panel 27: Inside the Photocopy Room. It is obvious Uniman is iniside the Photocopier of Souls, adn the green light is intense! It’s making a copy!!

Librarius: Just one more copy, and you’ll be empty, Uniman! I’ll have two of you, one good, one evil, and once I find out which is which, I’ll dispose of the good one, and have the Evil Uniman work for me!! With The World, unsuspecting of a unicyclists skillz, will be taken by surprise! No-one will be prepared for the onslaught of terror!

Panel 28: Close-up of Librarius’ insane face
Librarius: The entire planet will only be allowed to speak at a whisper! You’ll only be able to borrow everything, and if something you return is overdue, you get fined! And on your third offence, you’ll have to shelve books for life! It will be glorious!!

Panel 29: View towards the photocopy room door, from just above Librarius’ hair. The door is straining a bit and there is a creaking noise

Panel 30: Same view, but the door and wall is splintering away in a massive explosion caused by a giant BC Wheel crashing through! Henchmen are flying everywhere and there’s debris and paper and books and rabbits and evrything!
Librarius: Aiiie!!

Panel 31: View from above. BC Boy bashes into the Photocopier of Souls, destroying it! Henchmen are knocked out on the floor, Librarius is cowering in her chair
Librarius: No!!

Panel 32: View of the destroyed machine. Though it is not in bits, the liquid cases have been smashed, and the green light is gone. BC Boy is morphing back into a human as he lifts the cover

Panel 33: BC Boy, completely human, lifts the cover and is pulling Uniman out, who holds his unicycle
BC Boy: Uniman! Are you okay?! Did she manage to photocopy you? Are you still whole??

Panel 34: Close-up of Uniman’s dazed face. But his eyes are open, and they are still bright
Uniman: All here, pal

Panel 35: View from destroyed wall into the room. Librarius is cowering, sobbing. BC Boy has Uniman over his shoulders and is leaving.
Librarius: All my power! All my plans! Gone!
BC Boy: Let’s go home. I’m sick of this library.

Panel 36:CaptionBC BOY SAVES THE DAY! BUT IT WAS A CLOSE ONE FOR UNIMAN! LIBRARIUS IS NOW POWERLESS WITHOUT HER PHOTOCOPIER. BUT WAIT! OUT OF THE RUBBLE. OUT OF THE WRECK… Rubble all around the broken photocopier, but out of the delivery end, a hand is reaching

Panel 37: Out of the rubble, a person is pulling himself out!

Panel 38: Photocopy room, Librarius still cowers. The person is holding up a mangled copy of Uniman’s unicycle
Person: Aww, it’s busted. I’m going to have to find a new one!

Caption:SO A COPY WAS MADE! BUT OF WHAT NATURE IS HE?EVEN LIBRARIUS COWERS BEFORE HIM! MAN O MAN, I DIDN’T SEE THAT ONE COMING! PHEEW-EE, GOSH THAT WASN’T OBVIOUS OR ANYTHING! JOIN US NEXT TIME, WHEN MAYBE SOMETHING ORIGINAL WILL HAPPEN (YEAH RIGHT). AND WHAT WAS THE DEAL WITH EVIL BOY AND BC BOY AND STUFF? MAYBE IT WILL ALL BE EXPLAINED NEXT TIME, IN A REALLY UNCONTRIVED WAY, 'CAUSE THAT’S WHAT WE’VE COME TO EXPECT OF THIS HIGH QUALITY PUBLICATION.

Great comic series. I call either Harvey Kurtzman or Steve Ditko to draw it.
