ASTOUNDING SPACE THRILLS THE COMIC BOOK#1
The first of the new series from Image Comics came out in April 2000.Behind the fantastic painted cover provided by Ken (Star Wars, Boba Fett) Kelly, Eisner Nominee Steve Conley brings his acclaimed sci-fi series and syndicated comic strip, Astounding Space Thrills: The Comic Book to Image Comics in FULL-COLOR! In the debut issue(The Cydonian Contract), Argosy Smith and his reluctant pal Theremin are lured to the mysterious Martian monument of Cydonia to stop the theft of a priceless and very deadly alien artifact. The introduction of the beautiful space vixen Astra Nouveau only complicates matters. Robots, rayguns, rocketships, a gorgeous villainess and the fate of all life on Earth hangs in the balance. And if that weren't enough, also in this issue, for the first time in print: Marty Baumann's The Crater Kid. "We have seen the future... and it really ain't all that bad!"
