Beyond Mars

BEYOND MARS takes place 200 years in the future, when a new force—paragravity—has enabled men to live and breathe on asteroids. The strip stars Mike Flint, a spatial engineer who lives on Brooklyn Rock, an asteroid “beyond Mars.” With Sam, his green-skinned metallic partner from Venus, Flint gets involved in a series of lighthearted adventures, battling space pirates, teaming up with beautiful and strong-minded women, and dealing with addicts of the mysterious drug called “star dust.”

The restored color is outstanding and the artwork is creative and imaginative. Bruce Canwell contributes a wonderful introduction, putting this in the context of early 1950s science fiction. This also includes original art by Lee Elias on other features like Black Cat, Terry & the Pirates and Tommy Tomorrow.

And Editor Dean Mullaney of IDW / Library of America Comics has been nominated for an Eisner Award for his assemblage of this vintage 1950s Sunday newspaper strip!
