Not only is this an entry in the project, but it's also a whole comic you can read too! This was an insert into a package of "Rocketmen" cards from WizKids. Each card had a pop-out spaceship you could build and then play a game with. It was an attempt to take their successful "Pirates of..." series of game cards into the realm of pulp science fiction. It wasn't quite as bit a hit, I don't think.
I do like the pulp aspect of the adventure. The dictators are thinly-veiled allegories for Stalinist Communism, or any one of a number of fascist regimes. The heroes are typical Saturday Morning Matinee fare. What more is there to say?
Only that, unfortunately, I don't have all of them, so parts 1 and 3 will have to suffice. It's a pity because I do have a soft spot for pulp adventure strips. I'd love to know how this one turns out.
To be continued.
