“The Crazy Planet”

In "The Crazy Planet," a mysterious gravitational anomaly on the massive yet low-gravity world of Marduk begins swallowing spaceships whole. When Captain Larq sends a desperate distress call, Clive and Lansing take the lead in investigating, followed by the Space Rangers as they track the Staritania into the planet’s depths. At the heart of Marduk lies a hidden station where all captured vessels are moored, and the truth behind the trap begins to unfold—led by the enigmatic Karmud, the Master of Marduk. With Stella Dawn now among the stranded crew, she joins forces with Rex and Speed to outwit their captor. The story unfolds with a blend of cosmic mystery and daring rescue, all rendered in bold, dynamic art by Art Cappello, with striking cover work by Dick Giordano.
