If I had read this comic when I was a kid I think I might have had nightmares, so horrifyingly abysmal is the art. It starts out with panels that look like doodles for some kind of proto version of TRON. Then settles into coloring book level and sometimes not even that ambitious. The characters are scary looking as hell, Joe Flynn’s Binghamton rendered as a mutant Jackie Gleason and Tim Conway’s Ensign Parker a Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Float of Curly Howard. The character of Fuji wins the hell spawn award for someone so disturbing that Fredric Wertham must have wet dreamed him up in a feverish chase for the next halo blessing TV camera. This one ranks with the Dell comic version of THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW as some of the worst, if not THE worst, comics I’ve ever witnessed. Jack Kirby probably looked at a comic like this and quietly sobbed “death where is thy sting?”

Why bother reading these, if you hate them so much? In your favor, the artist credited here is Henry Scarpelli whose preferred style is more cartoonish,- He was a long-time artist for ARCHIE. Also, the work here looks like he traced the faces from film stills, which is about the worst things you can do. Perhaps he may have been ordered to do so, by the TV people. The inking looks like he did it with a marker pen. But he has laid out the story well.

How will I ever discover something new that I might like if I only stick to reading those things I already enjoy? That’s too boring a way to live, at least for me, but everyone is different.
