Captain Venture and the Land Beneath the Sea 1 & 2, published by Gold Key in 1968.
The first issue reprints back-up strips from Space Family Robinson with slight alterations, the second issue is an original story.
Captain Rex Venture and Scotty McKay are shipwrecked on an uncharted planet and the two issues are their adventures in the Land Beneath the Sea. Fantastic animals and cultures are encountered and the lives of beautiful princesses are saved.
Rip-Roaring comic book adventure in the style of some of the better TV Sci-Fi of the era. Dan Spiegle’s art pushes the overall quality of the book up a notch or two, but it’s certainly helped by the brilliant Gaylord DuBois with his script for the second issue.
One of the most memorable aspects of Gold Key comics for me is the wonderfully painted covers that they were given. Unfortunately, I can’t provide a cover credit for the first issue, but issue 2 was painted by George Wilson.
