About the series
In the early 1950s, Youthful Publications launched the short-lived Captain Science, a seven-issue sci-fi adventure series that followed a heroic space explorer battling alien threats across the cosmos. The title is most remembered for its striking artwork, with a rotating team of illustrators including Gustav Schrotter, Harry Harrison, and Joe Orlando bringing the interplanetary action to life. Though brief, the series stands as a colorful artifact of the atomic age's fascination with outer space and the pulp-style heroics that defined early Cold War comics.
