Wolverton in Space #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis 1997 Dark Horse collection gathers Basil Wolverton's wild, grotesque space-themed illustrations and comics, featuring his distinctive distorted style applied to cosmic horrors and satirical figures. The volume includes his infamous parodies of Boris Karloff and Joseph Stalin alongside the futuristic adventures of the hero Spacehawk, showcasing Wolverton's unique blend of science fiction and caricature from the 1940s and 1950s.
In "The Creeping Death from Neptune," Nick Nelson and Kodi chase the notorious space bandit Owen Kosterman into the dense jungles of Venus, where they stumble upon a pair of cannibalistic spider men—leaving their mission far more dangerous than expected. Written, drawn, and inked by the legendary Basil Wolverton, this 1997 Dark Horse standout features his unmistakable, surreal style on every page, with a cover by Wolverton himself.
In the jungles of Venus, Space Patrol member Nick Nelson and his Martian assistant Kodi track the notorious space bandit Owen Kosterman through dense, alien foliage—only to face a pair of deadly, cannibalistic Spider Men.
In "null," Space Patrol officers Nick Nelson and Kodi answer a distress call from Chief Raxun, a chieftan whose people harvest rare Jurta berries on Jupiter—only to lose sixty harvesters to a brutal crime. As the investigation unfolds, the duo confronts a hidden gang of balloon men operating in the Jovian jungles, unraveling a mystery that tests their skills and the fragile peace of the frontier.
In a society where joy is forbidden, Jumpin' Jupiter brings unexpected laughter to the solemn citizens of a grim world—until the authorities, led by the ever-stoic Royal High Oof, take notice.
