"THE RAMBLER" "The Yeti Hunters" - Part One Post One

Drawn in July 2010, ten months after I illustrated the character's origin story "The Time Henge", these four panels not only firmly establish just which of the two characters the 'new' Rambler actually is; something I didn't think the conclusion of their previous tale made clear. But also contain a scan of a much older adventure entitled "Mammoth's Demise", which was one of the first digitally produced stories I ever created, and one that sadly no longer exists except as eight poorly-printed pages...

This 'classic clip' hopefully reinforced that there was a wealth of history already in place for the time-traveller, and one which "The Yeti Hunters" would later 'tap into' in a big way. To begin with however, I wanted to mix any exposition surrounding the Rambler and Danny with some action, and thus quickly introduced a formidably-fanged Abominable Snowman to menace the two heroes...

Chased by a hungry Yeti, the Rambler and Danny must race through the treacherous snows of the Himalayas for their very lives. But the time-travellers aren't the only men currently exploring the mountain range, and these other chaps carry guns...
