About

Captain Science, aka Gordon Dane, was a sci-fi hero in the vein of Buck Rogers who fought all manner of outer space villains including flying saucers, monster gods, alien spawn, and even domestic traitors. His enemies also included the Cat Men of Phobos, the Space Pirates of Lenthus IV, the Deadly Dwarfs of Deimos, the Martian Slavers, and the Insidious Doctor Khartoum. This tall strong-jawed space ace created by Wally Wood traveled though space and time dropping green baddies in his tracks left and right.
