Calling the Space Patrol

Here's the final version of one of my illustrations for "Trapped in the Tower of the Brain Thieves": the first of my illustrated, interactive stories at Thrilling Tales of the Downright Unusual ( [link] ).

Nat Gonella and Gwen Hopkins have had quite a day - and just when they decide to call in the Space Patrol to help them out, they find out that Patrolman Noble has other things on his mind. Where are those guys when you need them, anyway?

This version of the illustration is based on the one at the web site, and in the book, but has been re-rendered and overpainted in a much higher resolution even than the book's version: 300 pixels to the inch, at 18 by 24 inches.
