Jodorowsky's Yeti

Today's a big day in Chile  - the day the people declared independence from Spain in 1810.

Let's honor a famous Chilean  - Alejandro Jodorowsky - he of the never-produced Dune film among many other things.

Of relevancy to this blog, he wrote a comic series, with art by Georges Bess, called White Lama - a story set in 19th C. Tibet.

A yeti plays a prominent role:

Besides the lack of a nose and a more gray-alien look, this yeti depiction is also notable for his long "heavy metal" haircut - appropriate for the time it was published (late 80's originally) and, no doubt, to the readership's aesthetic sensibilities.

This is also an example of The Reluctant Monster trope, and the above pic should look pretty familiar:

The warrior Denali embarks on a quest across a post-apocalyptic world, aided by a magician/thief named Paris and a yeti named Grok. (2013 comic)

The comic Airboy had a storyline: "Queen of the Yeti Valley" (January 1987), which is most notable for the ridiculously tall pointy scalps given to the white-furred "snow people" (inspired by the Pangboche scalp, of course - which also gave the Tintin Yeti his head as well.).  Hey, it was the Late Eighties.

Stephanie Skeffington is surrounded by a flurry of seemingly ferocious yetis with her fate left unknown (a la Princess Leia & the Ewoks) until the story picks back up with her and you find she's since become allies with the yetis, helping them to fight against an oppressor.

Airboy and Skywolf help them out.

And Stephanie gets to give the yetis' oppressor the what-for, by punching her up side the head while Skywolf smirks.

As the story ends, we see that the yetis have been supplied machine guns. Stephanie expresses concern for their fate without her aid, but Skywolf replies, "...I figure they'll get along just fine."

Hey, it was the Late Eighties.
