NOTE FROM DAVE:
In 1993, Innovation Publishing went out of business
in the middle of a 12-issue “Lost in Space” storyline
written by LIS cast member Bill Mumy.
The entire story arc, including the six final unpublished
issues, are being released as a massive 360-page
graphic novel at San Diego Comic-Con. The original
team, Bill Mumy writing, George Broderick, Jr.
editing and Michal Dutkiewicz drawing, has
reunited (along with neo-publishers John Severin,
Jr. and Ruth Severin Larenas) to complete the
longest-anticipated cliffhanger in LIS history –
the Robinsons’ arrival at Alpha Centauri! For more

Today, we have a special guest moderator! George
Broderick, Jr., besides being the editor of the
original Innovation series and the new graphic
novel, has written for DC, Innovation and Marvel.
George’s art credits include work on titles for
Innovation, Now Comics and TV Comics.
His most current work includes SUICIDE BLONDE, EL
MUCHO GRANDE, I DREAM OF JEANNIE, MEOW WOW!,
TRINITY TROOPERS and George Broderick, Jr.’s
GIGGLE FACTORY for Airwave Comics, COURAGEOUS MAN
ADVENTURES, Hans Christian Andersen’s THE SNOW
QUEEN, JILL CHILL AND THE BARON OF GLACIER
MOUNTAIN and STARDUST & THOR: Heroic Tails for
Comic Library International, MOONSTONE MONSTERS:
(Mummies, Ghosts, Demons) and KOLCHAK, THE NIGHT
STALKER for Moonstone Books and scripting issue #2
of Marvel Comics The Daydreamers. But now, he
faces his most daunting challenge of all…
mocking the pop culture icon that is “Lost in Space”!
You all remember “Danger, danger, Will Robinson!”
“Never fear, Smith is here!” and “Oh, the pain…
the pain.” Ever wonder what catch phrases
didn’t make it into the American pop culture psyche?
