About this Collection

This hardcover volume collects the earliest adventures of Tom Corbett, Space Cadet, originally published in the early 1950s. Based on the popular TV and radio series, these pre-Comics Code Authority stories follow the young cadet and his friends at the Space Academy as they train for interplanetary missions. The collection showcases the atomic-age optimism and sci-fi adventure that defined the golden age of comic strips before the industry's self-censorship era.

"Training Flight to Titan" kicks off a thrilling adventure in Pre-Code Classics: Tom Corbett, Space Cadet #1, a 2017 release that captures the golden age of sci-fi with crisp art by Al McWilliams, whose dynamic pencils and inks bring every starlit peril to life. When the cadets’ training flight aboard the "Prince of Centurus" turns into a harrowing ordeal after a pirate attack, they must outwit their captors from within the derelict ship, sending a desperate signal that sets the Solar Guard in motion. The cover by Al McWilliams perfectly frames the tension, showing the spaceliner under siege against the vast, silent void.
