BLUEWATER PRODUCTIONS' TOM CORBETT: SPACE CADET
Bluewater Productions has provided The Continuum a preview of its Tom Corbett: Space Cadet mini-series.
Tom Corbett: Space Cadet, a staple in the early days of television from 1950-1955, follows the adventures of the titular hero and his friends Astro and Roger Manning as they train to become members of the elite Solar Guard.
"Although it's been many years since his last adventure, Tom and his crew are still appealing characters with strong chemistry and a dash of retro fun," said Bluewater president Darren Davis. "The series is not just for baby-boomers looking for a walk down memory lane, but promises to be a fun rollercoaster ride for any fan of space opera."
The four-issue mini-series, scheduled for launch in this September, is written by Bill Spangler, with art by John DeCosta.
"I grew up in a town in Western Pennsylvania where the original Tom Corbett books by Carey Rockwell made up roughly one-half of the science fiction section of the children's library. So I was a Tom Corbett fan long before I saw an episode of the TV show," Spangler said. "I enjoyed doing the Tom Corbett comic for Malibu Graphics, and I'm very excited about writing the characters again."
In the first issue of the mini-series, the cadets have their first encounter with a dangerous new enemy with a surprising origin.
