Captain's Library YOUNG REBELS "Phantom Army" Conclusion

We Have Already Seen...

...Isak, a member of the Yankee Doodle Society of American rebels doing guerrilla operations against the British, is captured by the Redcoats!

He overhears false "top secret" information, then released in the hope he'll report it to the rebels...who will believe it and fall into a trap!

But the Yankee Doodle Society has other plans...

Illustrated by Jose Delbo and scripted by a currently-unknown writer, this first of two stories from the one-shot Dell Young Rebels (1970) follows the series' format and characters pretty closely, reflecting the mood of the USA at the time, when it was hoped the Youth of America would effect change!

Coming Tomorrow: YOUNG REBELS

If Today's Reich-Wing Believes Pop Culture today is "woke"...Where the Hell Were They in 1970?

A "youthquake" hit mass-media!

Whether stranded Gilligan's Island/Lost-style on an isolated island...

Or fighting for civil rights, young adults were everywhere...

...even the American Revolution!

BTW, your eyes do not deceive you!
The second lead is, in fact, Lou Gossett (before adding "Jr" to his stage name) in his first ongoing series role!
Beginning tomorrow, join us as we look back at a time-lost TV series and it's one-issue comic book!

Captain's Library & Theatre MEN INTO SPACE "Dust and the Depths"

We Have Already Seen...

...a four man-expedition led by this stalwart young fellow, USAF Coloney Edwar MacCauley, has reached the Moon!

They discover underground caverns where, during a moonquake, one of the astronauts sacrifices himself to enable the others to climb out safely.
The three survivors return to the ship, then decide to do another probe into the cavers below...

This adaptation of the conclusion of the 2nd episode of the series, "Moon Landing" is almost totally-different than the aired episode!

It's much more ambitious in scope and would've required far more eleborate SFX than what was shown on TV.

We suspect that, due to the lead time to produce the comic (about three months from scripting to illustrating to printing), comic scripter Gardner DuBois worked from an early draft of the episode from James (Shogun) Clavell.
To compare, we offer you the actual episode by clicking HERE, and it'll open in a new window for your viewing pleasure!

Captain's Library MEN INTO SPACE "Moon Landing"

As the Artemis Moon-Shot Finally Prepares for Launch...

...we're going to show you how we planned to do it even before we sent a single human being into space with the comic adaptation of a TV series from 1959...

To Be Concluded...Thursday!

The Men in Space TV series ran for one season of 38 episodes, the equivalent of three seasons today on broadcast or streaming services, on CBS in 1959-60.

It eschewed typical space-opera stereotypes and plotlines, and presented a realistic "Day after Tomorrow" scenario utilizing info provided by the US Air Force, the then-newly created NASA, actual rocket scientist Dr Werhner von Braun, and designer/futurist Chesley Bonestell!

The story from Dell's Four Color Comics: Men into Space #1083 (1960), adapting the second episode "Moon Landing" scripted by James (Shogun) Clavell was scripted by Gaylord DuBois and illustrated (pencils & inks) by Murphy Anderson!
