Space Hero Saturdays MAJOR INAPAK: SPACE ACE

Buckle On Your Blaster Belts, Kiddies...

...as we hurtle through the depths of outer space (and learn invaluable scientific facts) with the one-and-only Major Inapak and kid stowaway-turned-sidekick, Robin John!
Our tale begins in the far-distant year of 2031...













Sadly, there were no further adventures of Major Inapak and Robin John/"Master Rocketeer"!

Illustrated by Bob Powell and scripted by Powell, Gardner Fox or the two in collaboration.

We presented background info about Major Inapak and Inapak Chocolate Drink  HERE and HERE!

You may note the cover doesn't have a price on it!

It wasn't sold on newsstands or in candy stores!
It was likely handed out at licensing trade shows to show merchandisers how publisher Magazine Enterprises could produce a tie-in comic with their products, just as DC and Marvel do today!

Space Hero Saturdays SPACE ACE "Nothing Weapon!"

Buckle Up for EXCITEMENT in the Far-Flung Reaches of Space...

...as Magazine Enterprise's Space Ace 2.5 makes his initial appearance, and he's looking good!

Al Williamson does the penciling, showing off his superb design and anatomy skills.
The inking is by Williamson plus the legendary Fleagle Gang (Frank Frazetta, Angelo Torres, Roy Krenkel, George Woodbridge).
If that weren't enough, the script is by Gardner Fox, taking the somewhat more juvenile concepts of "Space Ace 2.0" (as seen HERE and HERE) and making them a superb example of classic, epic space opera.

BONUS #1: the original art for page one...

Is that magnificent, or what? ;-)

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder SPACE ACE "Yo, Bro!" Part 2

We Have Already Seen...

...I'll just add you'll discover why we titled this untitled tale as we did!

(It does make sense!
You'll see!)

See?

We told you the title made sense!

This was the first issue of a six-issue mini-series.

Unfortunately, publisher CrossGen went out of business after the third issue was published, leaving the story unfinished...in America!

With all six issues written and illustrated, first the series' Italian publisher Edizione Italy and then Canadian publisher Arcana eventually ran the entire storyline some years later!

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder SPACE ACE "Yo, Bro!" Part 1

This particular comic series was a sequel to a video game and its' short-lived TV series...

...continuing the plotline established in both!

To Be Continued...

Next Wednesday

Written by Robert (Walking Dead) Kirkman and illustrated by Paulo Borges, this opening chapter from CrossGen's Don Bluth Presents Space Ace #1(2003) shows a nice balance between comedy and drama.
CrossGen published almost 70 titles between 2000 and 2004.
Besides creator-owned properties, the company also did a number of licensed projects like this, including Bluth's other big video game Dragon's Lair, John Carpenter's Snake Plisskin, and Masters of the Universe!
