Galaxiki Community BlogSubscribe via RSS A Tribute To Captain FutureDecember 20, 2007by joskirps Captain Future is science fiction character invented by writer Edmond Hamilton. Captain Future first became popular during the 1940's when stories about the character were published in pulp magazines, later on he got his own magazine and finally he got cult status after the anime series was produced in the late 1970's.  Captain Future's real name is Curtis Newton. His parents, Roger and Elaine, were both scientists, they left Earth in 1990 to work in a secret lab on the moon. When their old friend and fellow scientist Simon Wright finally died, his healthy brain was being transplated by Roger into an artificial floating case. Together they then build a robot and an android called Grag and Otho (which may have inspired George Lucas when he created C3PO and R2D2, as they are fulfilling much the same role).One day, an evil scientist called Victor Kaslan detected the secret lab on the moon and killed Roger and Elaine. Their son Curtis remained all alone on the moon and was grown up by Otho, Grag, and Simon Wright. Curtis became a brilliant scientist with a strong sense of responsibility who now wants to help people and to protect them against villains. As he's a very shy person he decides to work under the alias "Captain Future". Captain Future's archenemy is Ull Quorn, son of Victor Kaslan (the man who murdered Future's parents). The famous japanese anime series was produced in 1978, one year after Edmond Hamilton's death. The 52 episodes are considered to be excellent adoptions of the Hamilton's literary work and the series became a huge success in Japan, Europe (Germany, France, Italy, ...) and Latin America, but only 8 episodes were ever translated in english and thus the Captain Future animation series remained quite unknown in the US and the UK. The German version used a completely new soundtrack created by composer Christian Bruhn, it is considered cult in Germany and other countries and is still used in TV shows on many occasions even today.

The stories were published in the pulp magazines from 1940 to 1951. The adventures mostly appeared in 350-001 exam Captain Future's own magazine but later stories appeared in Startling Stories. Captain Future is Curtis Newton, a brilliant scientist and adventurer who roams the solar system solving problems, righting wrongs, and vanquishing futuristic supervillains. The series contains a number of assumptions about vmware test prep which are naive by modern standards but which still seemed plausible in the time the stories were written. All of the planets of the solar system, and many of the moons and asteroids, are suitable for life, and most are already occupied vcp exam races. The initial adventures take place in the planets of the solar system but later stories take the hero to other stars, other dimensions and even the distant past and future. |
