Commissioner Smedley: Difference between revisions

[[File:Commissioner (Fear in the Jungle).png|thumb|left|300px|The unnamed Commissioner from [[COMIC]]: ''[[Fear in the Jungle (comic story)|Fear in the Jungle]]'', who likely influenced [[Jay Epps]]'s Commissioner.]]Unlike fellow ''[[Kaza's Mate, Gwenna (series)|Kaza's Mate, Gwenna]]'' cast-members [[Kaza (Reality Z-25 31-H)|Kaza]] and [[Gwenna (Reality Z-25 31-H)|Gwenna]], Commissioner Smedley Hopkirk was a creation of [[Jay Epps]]'s, as opposed to a reimagining of a public-domain character. However, he was likely inspired by the taller, glasses-less, unnamed [[Commissioner (Fear in the Jungle)|Commissioner]] who appeared in a similar role in the [[Kaza (Fear in the Jungle)|original Kaza]]'s sole vintage outing, [[COMIC]]: ''[[Fear in the Jungle (comic story)|Fear in the Jungle]]''. Like him, Epps's Commissioner was simply referred to by his title in [[COMIC]]: ''[[The Serpent Sorceress (comic story)|The Serpent Sorceress]]'', the first ''[[Kaza's Mate, Gwenna (series)|Kaza's Mate, Gwenna]]'' story.
