History ComicBook / StormDonLawrence

* HeroesWantRedheads: Storm's girlfriend Ember is literally called "Redhair" (Roodhaar) in the original Dutch version.

* ApocalypseHow: Soccer. Seriously, and it's presented completely straight too. Specifically, [[spoiler: a huge solar storm hit space stations transmitting tv signals at a time when eighty percent of Earth's population was watching the world cup final, and so logically, their TVs fried them]]

Not to be confused with the Creator/MarvelComics character ''ComicBook/{{Storm}}'', obviously.

* AnimalIsTheNewMan: Similar to ''Franchise/PlanetOfTheApes'', Storm returns to Earth to find that humanity had been wiped out and the world was now ruled by FishPeople.

* NakedOnRevival: in "Return of the Red Prince", Storm and Redhair are eaten by a bird, but somehow survive to emerge nakedly from its egg.

* Wedgie: The "Hanging Wedgie" variation. When Ember has to be healed with Pandarve's Breath, she is tied to a crane, so her legs can be lowered into the pit with the healing vapour. Gravity then causes her panties to be pulled into a wedgie.

* Stripperiffic: Ember, obviously. But Nomad also does not like to cover too much of his "beautiful body".

''Storm'' is a ScienceFiction comic book series primarily produced for a Dutch audience, but started off with a British artist and is also available in English. These days the artist is the Dutch Romano Molenaar.

* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: in the far future's far future, sentient dinosaurs rule the Earth. Or at the least Australia. Since the album they were was the result of a halfassed attempt at a course change, it can be argued that they were literally added in an attempt to make everything better.

* DysonSphere: in "The Stargorger"
* EarthThatUsedToBeBetter: not so much Earth (although, of course, it is post-apocalyptic), but rather Pandarve, which apparently once had very advanced machinery and spaceships until that age ended for unspecified reasons. Apart from a few pockets of machine-using society here and there, the planet now operated more on a sort of sort medieval stasis level, ancient machines barely being understood anymore.

* FireAndBrimstoneHell: the intruder has a simulation of hell very closely following Gustave Doré's illustrations of Dante's inferno. Ember wonders what kind of religion would come up with something like that.

* GentleGiant: in a recreation of Dante's hell, it turns out the monsters are incredibly friendly and helpful to anyone being nice to them.

* ReroutedFromHeaven: in an environment in the intruder, the characters are welcomed to the seventh heaven, but then quickly banished to hell after the angels freak out over them having genitals.
* RubeGoldbergDevice: the overtly complicated infrastructure Marduk depends on for his immortality treatment, as seen in "Marduk's Springs".
* TrainJob: twice, including one on a space train. In both cases, there's more going on then meets the eye.

* TakeMeToYourLeader: said by Marduk after entering Neu Londen. His wish is seemingly granted despite traveling with an invasion army and immediately usurping queen Victoria [[spoiler:err, king Victor who just looks like a woman]] upon meeting her.

* {{Retool}}: After the very first album Grek was dumped as a protagonist and the series tried again with Storm. A more textbook example comes later, with Storm being abducted to Pandarve.
* TimeMachine: the HiddenElfVillage in Antartica still has one.

* TrappedInTVLand: the intruder is a giant space probe made up of different connected habitats simulating different fictional and mythological stories from Earth history. As a bonus, some have been corrupted.
* SciFiWritersHaveNoSenseOfScale: wind-powered ships travel between the planets in the Pandarve system. The the vast emptiness of the void between the worlds is only brought up whenever someone gets stranded.
* SteamNeverDies: the train from "The Twisted World"
* FishOutOfTemporalWater: Storm, though he adapts quickly.
* StrangeNewWorld: Pandarve's solar system has some very strange worlds indeed.

* GiantWallOfWateryDoom: as Vandaahl crashes into an ocean in "Vandaahl the Destroyer". Surprisingly averted in the first album, which shows two separate disasters involving all the water on Earth on the move.
* YouCantGoHomeAgain: [[spoiler:Storm eventually manages to track down a TimeMachine and is offered a ride, but is told that his civilisation ended shortly after he left anyway.]]

* BabyPlanet: a common sight in Pandarve's system.

* NakedOnRevival: in "Return of the Red Prince", Storm and Redhair are eaten by a bird, but somehow survive to emerge nakedly from its egg.
* NegativeSpaceWedgie: Jupiter's red dot.

* TheMultiverse: "Imagine creation as a building with rooms without doors or windows... each room represents a universe, complete, unique, different from all others... Think of the number of rooms as infinitely large.... [...] Doors or windows are not present in the building of the all-creation... but here and there there's mouse holes or cracks in the walls..."
* {{Mummy}}: in "The Genesis Equation"
* {{Mutants}}: grotesque and barbaric green Humans were occasionally encountered on future Earth, and featured particularly prominently in "The Green Hell"

Realising that they had written itself in a corner, the writers briefly mucked about with another time jump and some sentient dinosaur nonsense, and then decided on a proper retool : Storm and Redhair were transported to Pandarve, a strange world and accompanying system defying the laws of nature. Pandarve and the many other worlds in the system orbit a white hole, which spews out breathable air filling the space between the planets. Thus, once the scientific absurdity gets handwaved, you get a place where people actually travel between planets in sailships. Storm and redhair pick up a third companion, the blood red BoisterousBruiser '''Nomad''', and go adventuring again, often chased by Pandarve's despotic theocrat Marduk who believes that due to being a time traveler, Storm's body is key to control of the multiverse. 17 more albums were written, culminating in an epic trilogy about a BigDumbObject intruder with some surprising inhabitants threatening the Pandarve system.
