Story on Interior Page(s) from base issue

Subject Matter

Genres: science fiction

Character(s): Craig Robinson; June Robinson; Tim Robinson; Tam Robinson; Clancy (dog); Yakker (parrot); group of captives from Earth; three aliens.

First Line: After a brief trip to a desert planet in their spacemobiles, the Robinsons are ready to return to their orbiting space station...

Synopsis: While exploring a desert planet with their spacemobiles, the Robinson's space station is hijacked by aliens and taken through a "space gate" where it joins a collection of Earth planes, trains, and ships each preserved under transparent domes. Another dome houses captive earthmen removed from a 1998 cargo plane, whom the pursuing Robinsons free by burning open the dome with the "under-rockets" of their spacemobiles. Three gaunt-looking aliens enter the space station, look around and move on, giving the Robinsons the opportunity to take back their station... and promptly leave.

Notes: Writer and artist are credited in the story's final panel, an uncommon practice for Western Publishing.

Despite a fascinating cover illustration and story premise, little or none of it "pays off" in this issue, which comes off as a series of events, one-after-another, with little connection and no explanation. Nothing in the story indicates a continuation in a future issue. Perhaps the Robinsons were just glad to get away with their space station intact...and maybe readers should be as well.
