Odyssey slipways star trek series#

Together with Hiroshi Ichimura as story editor and Kunitaka Imai as graphic designer Kow Yokoyama’s series drew visual inspiration from their combined interest in World War I and World War II armour and aircraft, seventies Sci-Fi like Star Wars, Blade Runner and The Road Warrior’s Post-Apocalyptic vision of the future and improvised technologies. There is a very cool history of this series in this link stating just what happened and when, and it details the war that followed between the Mercenary Army in machines piloted by Colonists and the Strahl National Defence Army Police & Foreign Legion machines. The destruction was so great that human life could no longer survive on the barren remains of the planet. So you all know it is supposed to happen (mark your calendars & perhaps take that Monday off work) in 2807 when up to 80% of the Earth’s population was killed in the nuclear holocaust.

The series focuses on the aftermath of the earth (and the moon) after World War IV. The “Maschinen Krieger”(Ma.K) universe of characters and machines is a science fiction genre in print and model making that was created by Japanese artist and sculptor Kow Yokoyama in the 1980s, with the first appearance of the subjects appearing in the popular magazine Hobby Japan called SF3D.
