Captain Chris Galland

Few corners of Bronze Age comics feel as delightfully untamed as Seaboard's short-lived but audacious output, and Captain Chris Galland made his mark right at the heart of it with Planet of Vampires #1 in 1975 — brought to life by the formidable creative pairing of Larry Hama and Pat Broderick. Across his three catalogued appearances in that series, Galland navigates a world that is clearly anything but safe, sharing those harrowing pages with characters like Brenda, Craig, and Elissa Galland. Seaboard may have burned bright and brief, but Planet of Vampires remains a genuine curio of the era, and Captain Chris Galland is exactly the kind of character that makes digging through Bronze Age back-issue bins so rewarding.
