Tom Corbett: Space Cadet #1, bd

The classic space hero from the 1950s returns in an all-new, four-issue limited series. Long before Kirk, Spock and those other guys were sent to school, Tom Corbett, Roger Manning and Astro were attending Space Academy, in a TV series that sparked novels, comic strips and a wide variety of merchandise. Tom is the charismatic leader of the team; Roger is sharp-tongued navigator and Astro controls engineering. In this issue, the cadets have their first encounter with a dangerous new enemy with a surprising origin. Writer by Bill Spangler, author of such science fiction comics as Alien Nation: The Spartans and Robotech: The Malcontent Uprisings, returns to these fan favorites, with dynamic art by John DaCosta.
