☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects the earliest adventures of the Space Family Robinson, the Gold Key Comics series that inspired the classic TV show Lost in Space. It reprints the first several issues of the original 1960s comic, showcasing the family's journey aboard the Space Station 1 and their encounters with alien worlds and dangers. Part of Dark Horse's archival series, this edition preserves the vintage artwork and stories by creators like Gaylord DuBois and Dan Spiegle.
In "The Challenge of Gorko," the Space Family Robinson answers a distress call from a distant planet menaced by a rogue force led by the enigmatic Gorko and his band of exiled outcasts. With their own station still reeling from a meteor storm, the family must decide how to help—balancing duty, danger, and the uncertain cost of intervention.
In "Rescue on Asteroid 48," Tim and Tam race against time to find the lost crew of a spaceprobe stranded on a mysterious asteroid home to the enigmatic Clay Men, with only five hours before a deadly galactic mass collides with the surface. The tension builds as they navigate shifting terrain and unknown dangers, all while the fate of the missing crew hangs in the balance.
In "Lost in Space," the Robinson family’s space station veers off course after a cosmic explosion, scattering the crew and stranding them in the unknown. While Tim and Tam explore an Earth-like planet and fall into the clutches of lizard women and their sinister scientist, Craig and June race against time to save the station from a deadly solar drift. With help from a hidden alien named Lonas, the children flee to the city of Syltron, where they must face a monstrous threat before the Robinsons can find their way home.
In "Peril on Planet Zero," the Robinson family faces a chilling threat when their efforts to reconnect with Earth lead them to an icy alien world, where an evil scientist traps the children and turns them into mind-controlled agents. With the help of a daring rescue, Craig uncovers the source of the control, and together the children and their family must stop the scientist’s deadly plan before it spreads.
In "The Mist of Delusion," the Robinsons land on a planet that looks like Earth—only to discover it’s a deceptive illusion, its surface hiding vegetable-like trogs that drain visitors’ strength. With help from the stranded giant Ptor-Liom, they fight back, but the trogs immobilize him. Using their shuttle and space station, the Robinsons lift Ptor-Liom to safety, where he’s reunited with his people, and they continue their long journey home.
In "The Duplicates," Tim and Tam are captured by the exiled villain Zurko on an asteroid, who uses their likeness to create an army of duplicates and plot to seize control of their home planet, Zytrox. When the adult Robinsons rescue their children and follow Zurko to Zytrox, they team up with the planet’s underground resistance to find a way to stop the endless swarm—only to discover that high-frequency sound can destroy the duplicates. The story ends with Tim quietly resolving to stay far from mirrors for a while.
