Captain Future and the Space Emperor

1940

President Carthew was in his office when the monster appeared - a giant, hunched creature, bizarrely hideous...The President gaped as a guard appeared in the doorway and pointed his weapon at the fanged being. "Don't shoot!" Carthew cried, but too late. The beast lay dead on the floor. Carthew sighed deeply as he confirmed his fears. The corpse on the floor was Sperling, his best secret agent, transformed into this hairy brute by the dread peril that threatened to destroy them all. Only one man left alive might be able to ward of off total doom. The President flashed an emergency call for Captain Future...

Calling Captain Future

1940

Il y a Simon Wright, dit le Cerveau, ce qu’il est, littéralement, et dans un bocal de sérum : un scientifique exceptionnel. Et puis Grag, la montagne de fer indestructible dotée d’outils intégrés étonnants. Sans oublier Otho, l’androïde synthétique, spécialiste du combat rapproché, de l’infiltration et du camouflage. Ils sont les Futuristes, la plus stupéfiante association qui puisse s’imaginer. Et enfin il y a celui qu’ils ont élevé, celui qu’ils ont juré de protéger, celui qui est devenu leur leader : Curt Newton, le géant roux, le sorcier de la science doté d’un esprit hors normes, infatigable justicier connu des peuples du Système sous le nom de capitaine Futur. Tous quatre veillent sur les neuf mondes et au-delà, attentifs, depuis leur base lunaire à l’emplacement secret. Or l’infâme Dr Zarro ourdit un plan abominable afin d’asseoir son pouvoir sur l’ensemble des mondes connus, un stratagème à l’échelle du Système solaire relayé par sa Légion de l’apocalypse. Une mission pour le Capitaine Futur, en somme, qui pourrait bien le conduire jusqu’aux terribles plaines glacées de Pluton et leurs Montagnes qui marchent… Figure centrale de l’Âge d’or de la science-fiction américaine, scénariste de quantité de comics, dont Superman et Batman, Edmond Hamilton (1904-1977) est considéré comme l’un des inventeurs du space opera. Avec la série du Capitaine Futur, développée entre 1940 et 1951, traduite dans le monde entier mais plus connue en francophonie sous le nom de Capitaine Flam suite à son adaptation en dessin animé par la Tôei Animation dès 1978, il jette les bases d’une sous-culture populaire appelée à connaître un succès planétaire sous ses incarnations cinématographiques modernes—Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica et autre Star Trek.
