☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Mission to Disaster Chapter 1" introduces Captain Tommy Tomorrow and Captain Lon Vurian in a high-stakes diplomatic mission aboard the Federation of Planets' flagship, as they attempt to secure peace with a newly contacted alien solar system. With tensions rising after the boy king Lorgi stows away from Roukar, the duo finds themselves accused of kidnapping by the planet’s ambitious prime minister—just as their mission to the capital planet begins. Written by Arnold Drake and illustrated with sharp detail by Lee Elias (who also handled the cover pencils and inks), this 1963 Showcase #46 is a gripping sci-fi tale of diplomacy, suspicion, and interstellar intrigue, all rendered in the distinctive style of its era.
In "Mission to Disaster Chapter 1," Capt. Tommy Tomorrow and Capt. Lon Vurian are on a peace mission for the Federation of Planets, trying to secure a treaty with a newly contacted alien solar system. Their first stop, the small planet Roukar, takes a dangerous turn when the planet's young king, Lorgi, secretly stows away—leading the ambitious prime minister to accuse them of kidnapping.
In "Mission to Disaster: Chapter 2: The Plot to Kill a Solar System," Capt. Tomorrow, Capt. Vurian, and Gur Doyka flee captivity after being falsely accused of kidnapping King Lorgi, only to uncover a far greater threat: a conspiracy to invade Earth. With the boy king now aiding them, the trio must navigate deception and danger as Lorgi devises a daring plan—using Vurian to impersonate the monarch while they race to a hidden spaceship.
In "Mission to Disaster" Chapter 3: The Palace of Peril, Captain Vurian maintains his disguise as King Lorgi while his team races to steal a nearly fuel-depleted spaceship. When the palace guards uncover the deception, tensions rise as the real king and Captain Tomorrow must find a way to communicate with the king’s armada—before the plan collapses. The story unfolds with tense diplomacy and shifting loyalties, culminating in a pivotal treaty on the capital planet.
