Some of you may remember the comic that ran in Transworld for awhile called Wrench Pilot. Well I had a dream last night that I walked out my door and I was in a wrench pilot comic doing tweaked airs, crail taps, tail taps, hand plants and laid back smith grinds, just like in some of the Wrench Pilot Issues. It was such an awesome dream!

Wrench Pilot was drawn by Mel Bend and published by Transworld Skateboarding Magazine from 1989 through 1991. It was originally concepted as a piece for Thrasher Comics, but was rejected for reasons unknown. Transworld published 23 episodes of Wrench Pilot, before Bend stopped drawing it.

I found the artist Mel Bends website where you can browse all of Mel Bends artwork along with browsing all the Wrench Pilot comic issues at BendPress.com. You can even purchase some of his original artwork! Definitely worth checking out.
