Warning: Contains Cartoon Violence, Not suitable for children Here is the link to download the PDF file of the Fan Comic I made.

There. Now that I got that obligatory warning out of the way let's dive into the introduction. So recently I went down memory lane by playing Earthworm Jim on my Sega Mega Drive. It's been sitting on my shelf for years. But what possessed me to play it was that I was waiting for the arrival of the second Earthworm Jim graphic novel that Doug TenNapel had written and drawn. It was a way to create my excitement. In case you missed it, here's the unboxing video of the first graphic novel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7iI6aH6844&t I uploaded another unboxing video of the latest Earthworm Jim graphic novel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjFaV8Da_7M

During this wave of excitement my inner child was reminiscing all the happy memories of playing the games, watching the cartoons, even playing the Nintendo cards in Primary school. And then it dawned on me why fan art across the internet was popular. When you post your own content onto forums you get accused of promoting yourself and selling your own product, but when you post fan art, it seems to resonate with other people because it triggers nostalgic memories like it did with me. There is fan art all over the internet, every artist has their own interpretation of their childhood heroes. So when began to look for something to draw that was from my childhood, they were all taken, Batman, Superman, Spider-man, Daredevil etc. And then Doug TenNapel came on to the scene and brought out his Earthworm Jim graphic novel. That's it. Earthworm Jim is going to be the childhood hero I am going to draw. And so I made a few drawings and uploaded them to some of my social media feeds and guess what... it WORKED. A lot of people seem to like it. So I decided instead drawing one or two pictures, I decided to do my own little comic with my own story and my own interpretation of Earthworm Jim. So here it is. I hope you enjoy.
