Description

First appearance of the Bat-Creatures of the Moon. These two abduct Tom from the Moon's surface to be unwittingly mated to their Queen. Many thanks to Bryan for his help in acquiring these!

Interesting factoid: The "Great Moon Hoax", also known as the "Great Moon Hoax of 1835" was a series of six articles published in The Sun (a New York newspaper), beginning on August 25, 1835, about the supposed discovery of life and civilization on the Moon. The discoveries were falsely attributed to Sir John Herschel and his fictitious companion Andrew Grant.

The articles described animals on the Moon, including bison, single-horned goats, mini zebras, unicorns, bipedal tail-less beavers and bat-like winged humanoids ("Vespertilio-homo") who built temples.

Elegant work by Sprouse. The slow and weightless floating motion across the void in the big panel is handled with a lot if care. The isolation feel of these scenes give off the serene nature of the pages and Karl Story's inks is automatic in how smooth they are. Even the bat creatures have a smooth texture to their leathery hides.

Such moony pulpy fun and superb art by Sprouse.
