Beyond Mars Comic Set 1-2-3-4-5 Blackthorne Sci-Fi Space Opera Jack Williamson

Description: Beyond Mars Comic Set Writer: Jack Williamson Artist: Lee Elias All Covers by: Lee Elias In 1952 the New York News wanted to celebrate their success from a steady increase in newspaper circulation and decided an exclusive feature created for their publication would be just the ticket... It is said Chester Gould suggested many of the story lines and helped Williamson from time to time on a proper way to present a comic strip plot. This lively eye-catching space-opera drama with a stellar Dick Tracy feel was beautifully rendered in the "Noel Sickles School" by Elias with its amazingly detailed exotic locals, amusing alien creatures, beautiful women and lots of two-fisted action. But as with many strips over time, the New York News believed their creation did not live up to its expectations and cut the size to a half-page in late 1954, which probably contributed to its untimely demise on March 13, 1955 as the creative team wrapped up some final loose ends in the last Sunday. Now Blackthorne Publishing presents, Beyond Mars. A five issue mini-series collecting Jack Williamson & Lee Elias lively space-opera comic strip drama... all in Glorious Black & White. Classic science fiction for the serious science fiction enthusiasts. Headquartered on Brooklyn Rock, in the new frontier of the asteroid belt during the year 2191, freelance pilot Mike Flint steered his antimatter-powered craft across the universe by counteracting the pull of gravity on other solar systems. Although Flint held a license as a spatial engineer, he became more of an outer space policeman, often getting an assist from several alien sidekicks. Story (Spoilers!)
