‘I heard there will be a bigger restaurant in their place. I never been to Di Lalla. I must say, it wasn’t very inviting. But it was there and now it’s not.

‘Pursued by the relentless minions of the cruel despot Baron Karza, the freedom-fighting crew of the Endeavor breach the Space Wall and emerge on a strange and dangerous new world – a planet known as Earth.’

In 1979, a comic book series quietly appeared at the local drug store. At the time, comic book stores were not common – and if one wanted each issue, they had to hunt it down.
