Subject Matter
Genres: adventure, science fiction
Character(s): Captain Rex Venture; Scotty Mackay; Hera (first appearance); Lucan (first appearance); Rela; Teemuth
Synopsis: Rex and Scotty are forced to land their tiny space module on a volcano when it overheats. While exploring they fall into a bottomless pit but are saved when a side draft pulls them into a hole in the wall of the volcano and they land on giant mushrooms. They rescue a humanoid named Hera from strange creatures and she takes them home to meet her father Lucan, a scientist. Rex is leery of Hera for good reason as Lucan attempts to drug them so that he can experiment on them.

Disclose Notes: Pages 1-14 and 19-30. This story is reported as a reprint at various websites but I believe it to be an original story as it doesn't reprint any of the strips from Space Family Robinson.
