He's back baby!
Hello, Readers! It's me, the roving Panthan, popping in during a break from a long investigation of the outer planets. I promise to resume regular posting as soon as I return to Earth on a more permanent basis.
However, I have news that could not wait. Some of you may have heard rumblings, rumors that a hero legendary throughout the system had come out of retirement. Well, I can confirm: Curt Newton is back!
That's right folks, Captain Future himself, backed by the pen of Alan M. Steele and the Hamilton Estate, is blasting through the spaceways once again! Mr. Steele is a favorite OSS author of mine, despite having only two stories in the genre that I know of: "Martian Blood" and "Frogheads". It's his style that pushes him up to the top of my list for me, that "this is real" feeling that really does credit to his versions of Mars and Venus.
And now, with "Avengers of the Moon", we get to see that feeling lent to Captain Future, hopefully to the credit of both the writer and the character.
I know I can't wait to dig into it!
Up ship!
{Z: I never thought to hear news like this. All the super-villains of the System must be quaking in their space-boots. I just hope that Captain Future and the worlds he visits are still their same old selves; they had better be - otherwise what's the point? Anyhow, the revival of this saga shows that the publishing world is awakening to the big stuff.}
