Letters
from Iscandar
1987
– 2001
Written
by: E.Hawkins
The “Letters from Iscandar” stories are short stories that fill some blanks to the original ‘Space Battleship Yamato’ story; they also include parallel stories from familiar episodes, adding a little more depth and completeness. The stories were to be drawn in ‘like’ style to the Yamato universe and presented as a published comic novel … At the time, I had contacts with ‘Tower books’ and several publishing companies. It was hoped to get the books in circulation by 1990.
The artistic aspect of the stories never matured, but I wasn’t disappointed because I had already written them in novel format and was hopeful that I could present a paperback book of the stories. At the time, there were many “Robotech” novels that made me feel that such a venture could be viable.
As with many dreams, life got in the way. So the stories were set aside and some may have been lost … Though, I’ve been promising Freddo some of my work for years and after finding a few of them on a backup disc, I have of late, been searching for these stories to present to you.
I will call my section a work in progress, as I locate the many elements of the book.
I hope you enjoy them, as much as I enjoyed writing them.
