The Space Emperor

Captain Future…the Ace of Space! Born and raised on the moon, Curtis Newton survived the murder of his scientist parents to become the protector of the galaxy known as Captain Future. With his Futuremen—Grag the giant robot, Otho, the shape-shifting android and Simon Wright, the Living Brain—he patrols the solar system in the fastest space ship ever constructed, the Comet, pursuing human monsters and alien threats to Earth and her neighbor planets. In his first exciting exploit, Captain Future tackles the sinister Space Emperor. Can the heroic Wizard of Science save Jupiter from a anti-evolutionary plague—or will the Space Emperor conquer the Solar System? Written by science fiction legend Edmond Hamilton, the exploits of Curt Newton originally appeared in the pages of Captain Future magazine and Startling Stories back in the days before NASA’s manned space program.
