I think I read somewhere that the writers at Gold Key weren't all that knowledgeable about the TV shows they adapted.
I believe it. I recall a Star Trek comic that had Spock speaking and reacting in a very un-Spock manner. The only other explanation was that the original script had called for one of the other characters to be in that fix. Someone made the decision to change to Spock, and all they did was tell the artist to draw Spock. (And left it a bit late, as I seem to recall at least one set of round ears.) No, I don't have them anymore.
But that Zark crapola could have come right out of the show. Why not share Zark's cleverness with the readers? Let them snicker at Zoltar as he schemes to kidnap the talking egg -- and ends up with a giant Zippo instead.
Hhmm: if I could draw, BotP Zoltar could diss Gold Key Zoltar's wardrobe.
But I do like the Luminous One being a pair of evil-looking eyes staring out of an amorphous mass on the screen. (Good thing they didn't try for its appearance from the show. God knows what it would look like!)

That was great LB! My son liked it too.
A fake Zark? I thought they'd allow Zark to be kidnapped so he could drive Zoltar crazy.
That reminds me of the fic Gatchtots. Zoltar uses a ray to turn the team bac into kids and they drive both Anderson and Zoltar nuts. One of my favorite reads when I need a good laugh.

Thanks for the reminder, Becky. That's a fun read.

Didn't Gold Key have the team armed with some type of guns also?

I think there's a freeze gun in one story, IIRC.

Okay, there are sooooo many things wrong with this picture, I'm just going to mention one or two of the more obvious ones. I'll let the rest of you mentioned the others. And there's LOTS to mention!
So of course, the big thing is that the G-Force civvies... are not civvies! Only Keyop is wearing a numbered shirt, and it's fuschia.
And what is with the big 'GF' on Jason's shirt? I guess now he's advertising that he's in G-Force? (Yes, in case you're curious, Mark is blond!)

Princess is wearing a dress. And what is the Phoenix doing in the background? If they are in civvies, why would they fly in on the Phoenix?
As for the GF on Jason's shirt, maybe he needs reminders that he is on the team. (Because of that head injury he received while rescuing the puppy.)

And, Jason's hair is blue like Princess's! Even Tiny and Keyop decided to go for blond!

... and, leave it whilst still in their civvies in front of public eyes at the Airport?!
Regarding the "GF" on Jason's shirt, it surely doesn't stand for "Girlfriend"!!!

I found this set online and downloaded them. I've noticed that while the writers and artists really had no clue with what they were doing, the scripts were more in-line with what BotP was. The artwork on the Top Cow series is much better though, even if their scripts were a bit out of line.

Great one, TJ! Still laughing here at Princess' and Jason's blue hair...

Maybe Chief Anderson sold them out in return for corporate sponsorships, and it stands for "General Foods"?
I know that I'm not good at all at "packing light," but their luggage sure looks awfully small! Whatever place they're visiting, I hope they're not staying long...
Posted by Transmute Jun on 08-05-2011 at 14:40:
Well if you think of the 'normal' Team, they'd be experts at packing light... not very many clothes to pack! Of course, with this team... who knows?

And, oddly enough, notwithstanding the compact luggage size overall, the males seem to have more luggage than the only one female in the Team!

Princess does have a purse, and as we know a woman can carry just about anything and everything in her purse.

Princess is smart. The guys are carrying her luggage.

Funny, no one has mentioned that Princess' civilian clothes are... a pink dress! You'd think she'd be sick of that...
