British Comics Update: Atomic Sci-Fi: Captain Video, Commander Battle & Race For The Moon
*Vintage UK/Australian Reprints Of US Material: We delve into 1950s/early 1960s science-fiction reprints this week. Captain Video was a US TV series, the first of its genre, starting in 1949. An astounding 1,500 plus episodes, but now mostly destroyed. We have the UK reprints of the comics though from Miller, with some colour pages. The splendidly named Commander Battle & the Atomic Sub from Streamline reprints the ACG comic of the same name; there is some uncertainty if there was more than just one unnumbered issue of the UK version. Finally, Race For The Moon from Top Sellers/Thorpe & Porter (2nd series 1962) reprinted initially Harvey stories from Black Cat, The Man In Black, Black Magic and Race For The Moon.
