"Invaders from a Lost Galaxy" kicks off in the grand tradition of 1952's Space Action #1, a thrilling sci-fi adventure from Ace Magazines. When King Stephan of the distant planet Sirion leaves to face an alien threat, his scheming brother Karnock plots to seize the throne—setting off a chain of events that sends Space Admiral Jon Lasim on a perilous mission. As Lasim grows close to the king’s daughter, he finds himself hunted through alien landscapes, all while the true source of the invasion remains shrouded in mystery. Illustrated with bold energy by Lou Cameron and Rocco Mastroserio, and featuring a striking cover by Cameron himself, this first issue delivers classic pulp space opera with a personal stake at its heart.
