I mean, with Byrne's artwork you've effectively got a trillion times the budget Star Trek had, right?
Plus, writer Nicola Cuti can fill you in on the odd facts of Cyclops biology!

Those Greek Gods Really Got Around...
If you're doing a Space:1999 comic book...
...and you've got John Byrne for the art, well, then...
...why not do your own riff on Who Mourns For Adonis?

And you can meet some "normal" humans...
...who have crazy rides!
And you can do the the whole "all of Greek culture came from space travelers" idea...
...but instead of just standing around and yakking at Apollo, now you can fight giant Zeus--with spaceships!!
And how about a side helping of the "powerful aliens are really just children" chestnut?
At least they didn't end up on a planet of space Nazis...oh, wait, you mean...

Maybe they hoped that there was not too much overlapping between Space:1999 fans and Trekkies, so the readers would not notice the similarity to "Who Mourns for Adonis." And if that's the case, then might as well mix in the ending from "The Squire of Gothos."
ReplyDeleteThat seems a lot of fun, though!
