The Collected Captain Future, Volume Three

Captain Future #9-12

by Edmond Hamilton, Earle K. Bergey (Illustrator), H. W. Wessolowski (Illustrator)

Jumpin Jungle Cat of Jupiter! It s another mega-collection of four complete novels of the Man of Tomorrow, the Wizard of Science, the protector of the Solar System and a menace to evil-doers throughout the CAPTAIN FUTURE! Now that Captain Future (aka Dr. Curtis Newton) and the Futuremen (Grag the robot; Otho the Android; and Simon Wright, the Living Brain) have traveled through time in the final story of Volume Two (See The Lost World of Time ), can an adventure beyond the Solar System be far behind? Most assuredly not! The Futuremen board their trusty space-vessel, The Comet, and blast-off for adventure in QUEST BEYOND THE STARS! But that s not all the dangers our intrepid defenders will face in VOLUME THREE. Up next is OUTLAWS ON THE MOON! When the peoples of the Solar System believe the Futuremen to be dead, what better time for the emissaries of villainy to attempt to break in to Captain Future s Secret Moon Base. Following that nail-biting saga, is arguably the finest of the CAPTAIN FUTURE THE COMET KINGS. Here, author Hamilton pulls out all the stops as the Futuremen combat forces from within Halley s Comet! In the final story of this volume, PLANETS IN PERIL, the Futuremen face forces from another dimension that threaten to enslave our entire universe! As with the previous two volumes of THE COLLECTED CAPTAIN FUTURE, Under Observation, the CAPTAIN FUTURE letters column is reprinted, and the original pulp covers and interior illustrations are reproduced in a generous appendix.

About the author

Edmond Moore Hamilton was a popular author of science fiction stories and novels throughout the mid-twentieth century. Born in Youngstown, Ohio, he was raised there and in nearby New Castle, Pennsylvania. Something of a child prodigy, he graduated high school and started college (Westminster College, New Wilmington, Pennsylvania) at the age of 14--but washed out at 17. He was the Golden Age writer who worked on Batman, the Legion of Super-Heroes, and many sci-fi books.
