Captain Johner and the Aliens (1995 Valiant) 1 FN 6.0

Valiant is proud to announce a new series of classic comic specials based on the old Western/Gold Key material! This material has been carefully reformatted, with some panels blown up and other panels shot down, to give the material a fresh viewpoint from today's style of storytelling. It is then lavishly recolored and packaged in a high quality format with covers by some of today's top artists. Produced with love and care for the source material, these are more than just mere reprints. CAPTAIN JOHNER AND THE ALIENS - When Russ Manning's first issue of Magnus Robot Fighter was published in 1963, it included a 4-page science fiction adventure strip, drawn by Manning, entitled Captain Johner and the Aliens. This back-up story appeared in every issue of Magnus throughout the Gold Key run. Quite different in tone from the Magnus adventures, these short stories tell the tale of first contact with an alien species. This intelligent "hard" SF series, with its lush Russ Manning art and realistic storyline, hasn't seen the light of day since the early '70s. Now, Valiant is offering the first fifteen chapters of "The Aliens" saga in two volumes, recolored in full process hues for the first time ever! With covers by Paul Smith, these volumes are a must-buy for all serious science fiction comic lovers. Stories in this volume: "The Aliens," "Space Derelict," "A Matter of Judgment," "Suspense in Space," "Forced Landing," "A Case of Nerves," "The Dream Makers." Cover price $2.95.
