Before they worked on their first Star Wars comics, created the cult phenomenon Maxell Strangewell, or published the first tales of the Hunter S. Thompson-inspired Captain Freebird, the Fillbäch Brothers produced the 1997 mini-comic Memories of Green.
Memories of Green back cover
Limited to 250 signed and numbered copies, Memories of Green contains four short sequential tales and two pieces of flash fiction (including a Captain Freebird prose story).
Each story relates a tale of minor rebellion.
"The Metal Machine. Or: Beyond Empyrean II" p.1 (Memories of Green, 1997)
"The Metal Machine. Or: Beyond Empyrean II" p.2 (Memories of Green, 1997)

Overall, an excellent product that successfully showcases the many talents of the Fillbäch Brothers.
