INTRODUCTION
By Kevin Paul
Shaw Broden
When Shannon asked me to write an introduction for this collection of her songs from our online comic book FLYING GLORY AND THE HOUNDS OF GLORY, the television network called The HUB was just beginning to air the 1980s animated series JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS. Though used to promote the Hasbro dolls of the same name, this music based action adventure show was never a “girls only” series. While originally watching, I would have no idea of how that series would impact my life, both professionally and personally.
As Shannon will tell you elsewhere, she got in contact with Christy Marx, the creator of the show to be able to learn more about writing for animation. I would first meet Marx through early fandom of the science fiction series BABYLON 5 while attending the San Diego Comic Convention. I had been following her work for quite a while, and learned from it on my own. We would all get to know each other further through the now defunct online bulletin board known as GEnie.
When Shannon decided to follow her dream of working in animation, and move to Los Angeles; she asked Christy her opinion of me. The answer must have been favorable because we’ve been together ever since. I mention all this to pay homage to Ms. Marx and the influence she has had on both Shannon and I.
FLYING GLORY AND THE HOUNDS OF GLORY is by no means a rip off of JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS, just it has little to do with its predecessor JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS. All three are about rock bands and the adventures they have, but are also completely different. But the influence is there.
It was with Shannon’s direction that we made our comic book different; not about super heroes, or about a rock band, but rather struggles of teenagers just trying to survive. When I decided to update my comic book FLYING GLORY with the granddaughter of the original “Golden Age” heroine and give her a supporting group of friends, the Hounds of Glory; it gave an excellent opportunity for Shannon to show off the skills she had learned from Christy Marx, as well as display her song writing talents to successfully match the stories we are telling. Though sometimes I have to struggle to design the comic page to fit Shannon’s lyrics, I believe they have always been a special and integral part of what makes FLYING GLORY AND THE HOUNDS OF GLORY.

CHAPTER ONE
BEFORE FLYING
GLORY AND THE HOUNDS OF GLORY
Long before Kevin Paul Shaw Broden and Shannon Muir met on the now defunct BBS GEnie, Shannon Muir wanted to be an animation writer who had aspirations of creating her own animated series. Along with her sister, Lesley Muir (now Lesley Aeschliman), they tried their hand at creating their own music-rock animated show after being inspired by the animated television series JEM and contacting the series developer who has remained a longtime family friend. Given that JEM just went off the air at that point in time, they didn’t see themselves selling it anytime soon, but decided it would be a fun exercise to plot out a sixty five episode animated series and its accompanying lyrics. Of course, even if the concept sold, someone else professionally would be hired to write all the lyrics – but that didn’t cross the minds of two teenagers back then.
The band’s name was Enchantresshawke. Shannon wrote some lyrics on her own, as did Lesley, and some were collaborated upon. Later on, it was decided the series couldn’t stand alone, and the characters then became folded in as secondary characters (mentors of a fashion) into another series that the sisters started working on. Yet things remained set up in such a way that other than minor modifications to the origin story, the original sixty-five episode development could play as a spinoff series.
However, life took things different ways, and in the end with collaboration not being practical, only Shannon came to Los Angeles. Development on Enchantresshawke was not pursued further until a yet as unpublished short story about the band’s origin was completed in 2006 and filed with the Library of Congress entitled “Enchantresshawke Comes Alive,” featuring additional songs that do not appear in this collection.
Enchantresshawke still is very much acknowledged by the sisters. More recently, a short story featuring the band was written and may be used at some future date. A tribute to Enchantresshawke exists in the FLYING GLORY AND THE HOUNDS OF GLORY storyline where the band fills in for Flying Glory’s missed appearance in the park due to several of the lead characters being grounded. See the reference in Issue #2.
The following nine sets of lyrics are a selection from the library of material written for Enchantresshawke by Shannon Muir, which should give you a pretty good vision of the series. Her sister Lesley penned some of the lyrics as well, but this collection only includes ones written by Shannon. Sixty-five storylines were envisioned for Enchantresshawke originally, with a multi-part pilot and episodes visiting all 50 states and Washington, DC. It was very much the goal with Enchantresshawke to be educational as well as capturing the popular music, fashions, and more of the time.
The included lyrics are “Enchantment” (written for the New Mexico episode and based on the state motto), “Find Your Heart,” “I Remember” (which is one of the characters visiting her old hometown), “Rock ‘N Roll Fantasy,” “Salute to Liberty” (performed near the Statue of Liberty), “Life Gets Hard Sometimes” (which radically evolves into a version of “Sometimes Life Gets Tough” for FLYING GLORY AND THE HOUNDS OF GLORY as you will see in Chapter Three, but is included here due to the radical differences), “Time-Bomb Life,” “Two Caring People” (Shannon’s personal favorite duet), and “Wedding Blues” (a song where the female half of the two leads faced a crisis over getting married, by the same female singer featured in “Two Caring People”).
Remember, these were written when Shannon was a teenager and not revised since, so expect some rough edges. Enjoy this glimpse into a world pre- FLYING GLORY AND THE HOUNDS OF GLORY and note the changes in styles over time!

games we used to play
On the playground of the schoolyard
We
were heroes, saving the world
Always saving the rest of the
world
From what we thought was wrong
I remember a time long ago
It
seems so far away

My friends, the loves, the happy

As time

I don’t let the miles phase
me
I try to keep in touch with what was
Believe me, babe, I
miss it all
But I understand it all now
I remember the years
after
Started life anew in a
Brand new school and brand new
town
Made some new friends there
Some new friends were made
there
But I can’t forget who I left behind
It seems so far away
I

My friends, the loves, the happy times
I remember it,
babe
I remember it well
I remember when, long after,
I
crossed the bridge to adulthood
Had to leave and choose the path
to follow
Cut my slice of pie in this world
My slice of pie in
this lonely world
But I shall never forget the past
I don’t

I try to keep in touch with what

Believe me, babe, I miss it all
But I understand it all now
It seems so far away

CHAPTER TWO
INTRODUCING
FLYING GLORY AND THE HOUNDS OF GLORY
Our first attempt to do something with the FLYING GLORY AND THE HOUNDS OF GLORY characters involved a feature film centered on a charity concert with Lady Bombshell being the villain of the piece. Many of the lyrics originally identified for the film have since been used in the webcomic or will appear in upcoming issues. “Stand Up” is one of the few that did not end up getting reused, but was released using a “visual video” with various shots of Kevin’s art surrounding the lyrics.
“Colors of a Rainbow,” lyrics about people, prejudice, and equality seems to date back to the time period of the original film but cut from the completed film script. These lyrics were originally “rediscovered” as simply the chorus, which was left intact and the rest of the lyrics constructed around. Perhaps the original intent was for the charity concert to have been on this subject but it was decided at some point that homelessness would be more relevant for building a connection between Lucy and Dyllian (then known as Dyllan). The notes are lost. This further seems credible based on the original date for “Hey Ashley” as 1990 even though it is called for in a script dated 1998, and “Colors of a Rainbow” is dated 1997. Also, thematically, “Colors of a Rainbow” is very similar to the final version of “Break the Cage,” which ended up appearing in Issue 1, so it kind of evolved into that.
“Leaders of a Revolution” was originally written for another band in the same universe of stories Enchantresshawke came from, but later after a couple slight modifications became used in the script for a small ashcan (black and white photocopied comic) that Kevin and Shannon flirted with doing right before the move to webcomics.
For a period in there, we looked quite seriously at developing FLYING GLORY AND THE HOUNDS OF GLORY as an animated series, though we knew several elements would likely need to change from the original setup. The character of Wendee (Arakna) as Troy’s (Ace of Knaves’) half-sister didn’t originally exist; instead there was an older woman in the Villains of Vengeance with a disfigured arm named Haripiri, but we found that having all the Villains of Vengeance be older than our leads wasn’t the dynamic we wanted. Eddie Farmer’s original “Villain” name was Pillage, before we changed it to Cap’n Plunder, which seemed to fit his character better. There was a male member of the group, Dreadnor, who really did “go bad” and became a series regular adversary but was completely abandoned (though the idea was used for Issue #7 and #8 where Dyllian temporarily is a member). There are several villains from the original animated development who have appeared so far (The Immortal Combatant, C-Note, Glamm and Diva Bombshell) and a couple others who haven’t found their time yet and we may yet revisit.
One of the most striking changes from the animated series to the webcomic development is that Tony Grant originally played as a male character. He was a police detective that Flying Glory formed a crush on. However, once it became clear John and Nate were forming an incredible triangle with Debra, Toni’s gender would be changed and she evolved into the character known today that tips the scales and brings on the tension between these friends.
When Shannon received the opportunity to appear as part of a “Fan to Pro” panel at the GATHERING OF THE GARGOYLES convention in Universal City, California, in 2001, Kevin and Shannon decided that was the moment to begin promoting FLYING GLORY AND THE HOUNDS OF GLORY. However, an ashcan for a convention of that size seemed prohibitive. The two of them just started to hear about webcomics at that time, so instead a website address was purchased and a four page minicomic on the web appeared in June of 2001 with the chorus to “Keep on Fighting,” which was expanded to full length in 2002 when the full lyrics appeared on the website. The rest, as they say, is history…
