| With all the science and editor's notes, the first tale truly has the feel of a Julie Schwartz-edited comic. This tale, with very few changes, could almost be a "Space Museum" story. |
|
| Powell's art is wonderful, funny and filled with energy. Even the science-fact backup story is interesting. And cavecarson is right, it could almost be a Space Museum story, though it's a bit more lighthearted. |
|
| Analogy time. Buck Rogers is to COCOMALT as Captain Midnight is to OVALTINE as Major Inapak is to... well... INAPAK. It's all the same stuff, a vitamin-packed chocolate-flavored malt beverage mix. Good story though. |

| Synopsis | The Master Rocketeer relates a story to children. In 1982, just as the East and West blocs were about to attack each other from space, Earth was threatened from the Moon. Robin stowed away in a repurposed attack rocket in which Major Inapak was sent to investigate. They found the Earth under attack from a previously unknown planet, hidden behind the Moon. With the help of a friendly lunar creature, they reversed the planet-destroying weapon, wiping out the attackers, and returned to Earth. |
