Stories

Old Scores to Settle! · 22 pages
As begun in issue #2, we get an additional flashback to the tragic events that shaped a man named "Dax" into the grimly dedicated protector known as Space Ghost - the deaths of his wife and daughter and the devastation of the Planet Vector at the hands of a vengeful Metallus. Metallus' robots attack and hijack a cargo vessel carrying a "negatron bomb". Responding to the distress call, Space Ghost recognizes the robots from Metallus' raid on Planet Vector and pursues Metallus with a grim and determined vengeance. Metallus takes his war to the Galactic Federation that once court-martialed him.
Greg Hildebrandt Rest in Peace January 23, 1939 - October 31, 2024 · 1 pages
