Secret Origins of Professor Gideon Sarkhon

Secret Origins of Professor Gideon Sarkhon

Originally,I wrote a short story called the Last Fair,that featured a New York Cabbie,Sgt Archie Venzenzo encountering an ancient sorcerer named Thuzan Thune.The wizard was travelling to the United Nation to speak to the leaders of the Free World on an important matter to save the world from some immenant doom.Thuzan Thune,needed to convince the cabbie he was real,while travelling across Manhatten.In the end,Archie stated if you had those powers,while just teleport me,the cab and himself across the city.Thuzan Thune thus does so and departs,leaving three small,magical silver balls in the back seat.Unknown to him,those are Atlantean Wizards form of currency-more valueable than money and capable of proforming magic tricks.Dissbelieving,Archie tosses out the cab window,but the silver balls simply bounce a few times on the pavement-then rise,turn and follow after the yellow cab.At the stories conclusion,Archie Venchenzo see’s another opportunity for his Last Fare,believing Thuzan Thune cheated him,when he did not.Stepping out of the fob,a small,diminutive figure approaches and steps into his yellow cabs back feat.Sgt,Venchenzo turns and says ‘’where mack?-only to see a small pointed alien Zark‘’Saying Please take me to your leaders.’’

I adapted this story into a comic,and renamed Thuzan Thune into the Lasar Sarkhon. Sgt Archie Venzenzo became Sgt Ernie Venzenzo-based now,less on Archie Bunker and more Escape from New York’s Cabbie,played Earnest Bornine.

When I re-imagined the Lasar Sarkhon character, I had just read Gideon Faust: Warlock At Large-a Star-Reach comic drawn and written by Howie Chaykin-about a Victorian age wizard, fighting demons. He was blonde, with a goatee and a dark stripe running through with hair-kind of like Doctor Strange's silver streaks. He had a mystical walking cane and Tardis inspired coach-bigger on the inside than outside. I renamed Lasar Sarkhon-a name I wanted to use for another character-more similar to Marvels Adam Sarkhon,in stature and personality. I renamed the character, from ‘’the Last Fare’’ short story, that was Lasar Sarkhon as his cousin Professor Gideon Sarkhon’s figured, Gideon Fauste, was more similar to the Doctor Strange/Obi Wan Kenobi /Doctor Who inspired Time-Sorcerer.I put him on earth, who was situated in New York and associated with Sgt.Bernie Venchenzo-the EX Special Forces Viet Nam Vet turned New York Cabbie. Using Gideon Fauste could have this Time-Sorcerer, as a kind of paranormal investigator, demon fighter, supernatural investigator, living in New York. I could give him a mystical walking cane, with all sorts of weapons. Faust, kind of reminded me of Jon Pertwee’s Doctor Who and with Tardis inspired coach, it did not take a genius to figure out one idea could lead another. If Chaykin failed to see the similarity,being a sex maniac, I did and would use it to reform my Lasar Sarkhon creation. Comic creators often miss an operutnity, to create an interesting character-write and drawn something, to see print and it flops only to move on to other’’ So called Important Work.’’ -usually some crap they in love and stick with for a few years. The Meat Puppet press, then simply follows one article up with another, on that subject, because it’s a greater success, then previous work. The earlier creations get left in the dumpster, because everyone follows the successful creation and not the losers. Those get forgotten until someone creation another character similar that does work.

Gideon Sarkhon, was a character, I could play around with-give him a wife, sort of based on Doctor Strange’s Climaxed personality elements of Susan Storm/Richards-a.k.a the Invisible Girl/Woman. I could give a son-sort of a young, version of himself, using elements from Johnny Storm-a hotheaded type and a sister Rachel Sarkhon-a left over from the previous Lasar Sarkhon era.

Gideon Sarkhon would still have the Sarkhon Mansion, the planetary orbiting Star Castle-a sort of huge. Close Encounters Mother ship/Star Wars Bespin City inspired Atlantean Space Station. Bernie Venchenzo’s cab could fly, hover, jump through time and have all sorts of James Bond gadgets hidden all it’s interior-machine guns in the headlights, anti gravity hovering wheels. like Nick Fury’s Ferrari and Back to the Futures DeLorean. Some of these elements would be re-used later for Professor Thuzan Thune Sarkhon.

My idea, at this point, was make a sort of combination of Marvels Comics Doctor Strange /Jon Pertwee’s Doctor Who, but with Fantastic Four, nimus those powers and have travel around time and space, fighting evil.Professor Gideon Sarkhon would later evolve or revert to Professor Thuzan Thune Sarkhon,as a yet another spin off member of the Amazing Imperial House of Sarkhon.

Gideon Sarkhon would inspired partially the name of my Omega Warrior Colonel Gideon Fate.

Date:1984

Issues:01-06

Welcome to the Star*Reach Classics! The anthology reprinting the very best of the 1970s Star*Reach series, the book that revolutionized both the comics and science-fiction/fantasy genre and bridged the gap between underground comics, traditional (though often scorned) Marvel/DC books and mainstream (as much mainstream as they could be) sci-fi and fantasy books. The child of Mike Friedrich that helped to bring about the independent comics boom in the 1980s and paved the way for the modern graphic novel! think he's in the first seven issues for sure, with stories about Cody Starbuck and Gideon Faust, Warlock at Large. Great, underrated stuff.

Welcome to Star*Reach, where even the sky isn't the limit to the imagination...

Note: Mature themes, including sex and nudity. These aren't your grandpa's Stan Lee comics, just like Gideon Faust is not the superheroic Doctor Strange.
