FRANKLIN, N.C. - s4story -- Marty the Martian Farmer: A Retro Sci-Fi Comedy with a Cosmic Twist

Franklin, NC – September 11, 2025— Indie creator Neal Jamison announces Marty the Martian Farmer, a new animated project that blends retro sci-fi style with sharp modern humor.

When yet another hunk of Earth junk crash-lands on his farm, Martian Farmer Marty lets out a tired groan of "Not again…" and drags the wreckage to his ever-growing junk heap. It's just another night on the Red Planet for Marty — a humble farmer caught in the crossfire of humanity's obsession with space exploration.

A Comedy Rooted in Retro Sci-Fi

Marty the Martian Farmer pays homage to the bold pulp covers, classic B-movies, and campy sci-fi comics of the 1950s–60s while adding a comedic edge for today's audiences. Its exaggerated retro visuals and witty storytelling offer both nostalgia and fresh commentary on waste, consumerism, and our obsession with space.

A Universal Everyman on Mars

Marty isn't a hero or a conqueror — he's just trying to keep his crops alive while dodging falling satellites, busted rovers, and other Earth leftovers. His resilience, humor, and quiet determination make him a universal character in an absurd cosmic setting.  But, as we learn, Marty has a darker past...

Project Development

The project is currently in development as a full animated series concept.

Quotes

"Marty is the kind of character I think we all recognize — the person who just wants to live a simple life but keeps getting interrupted by forces beyond his control," said creator Neal Jamison. "In Marty's case, it just happens to be falling space junk instead of nosy neighbors."
