Comic book cover for Material Dimensions by Carlos B. Two blobby alien characters are walking on a purple cosmic background underneath the title of the comic. The smaller character, Oobin, has a pointy head like a baby monkey and the larger character, Goma, has three stripes on their head.

A three-panel page in the comic Material Dimensions part one by Carlos B. In the first panel, a blobby character with spikes on their head and two bands on each arm jumps off a high bridge while holding a football shaped device with handles on the sides. As they jump, another character shouts “no!” while a third character looks on. In the second panel, we see the spiked character falling down with a tall, cylindrical rock column in the background. In the third panel, the character begins to rotate as they struggle with the device in the air and they fall toward a pool of glowing liquid. When they are almost at the bottom, there is a KA-CHACK sound and a flash of light.

A six-panel page from Material Dimensions part one by Carlos B. In the first panel, the two characters from the cover of the comic are diving deeper into a pool of liquid. In the second panel, we see the have dived into a large bell-shaped pool and they are approaching a large tunnel going down at the bottom. In the third panel, the characters continue diving and the text of the Goma's thoughts reads “I remember my first day of contributions.” In the fourth panel, the characters enter the tunnel and the text continues …” that feeling of purpose.” In the fifth panel, the characters continue to dive down the tunnel as it twists. In the sixth panel, they dive deeper as Goma's thoughts continue: “it seems so long ago.”

A six-panel page from the comic Material Dimensions part one by Carlos B. In the first panel, a new character explains to Oobin how to harvest: “LEMME SHOW YA THE WAY O' THINGS DOWN HERE IN THE POCKET, AND THEN YOU CAN GET GOING.” In the second panel, they touch a bulbous growth on the wall of an underground cave and say “SEE HOW SWOLE THESE SKUB-BULBS ARE? MEANS THEY'RE READY.” In the third panel, they reach their hands into the bulb and it makes the sound SHLORP as they say: “REACH IN AND GRAB THE SKUB INSIDE. IT'LL STRETCH A WAYS.” In the fourth panel, they say: “GIVE IT A TWIST UNTIL YA FEEL A POP, THEN JUST PULL AND...” as they pull a round object out of the bulb. It makes the sound GOOSH. In the fifth panel, they hold the round slimy object that was pulled out. It has a bumpy texture and a dark spot in the center. They say: “CHIRB! NOW, Y'SEE THAT DARK SPOT? THAT'S WHAT YA WANT, THE SKUB-NUB.” In the sixth panel, the character smashes the object on the ground with both hands with a CRACK. Goo and a dark round object spills out.

Hi friends! I’m Carlos B. This year I’m working on the second part of my radical sci-fi comic trilogy, Material Dimensions.
