Captain Rockets Versus the Intergalactic Brain-Eaters
Don Nigro
Episode 26
by Howard Korder
Synopsis
Remember those glorious days of Saturday morning sci fi serials at the local bijou: Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon.
Here is an affectionate and extremely ingenious send up of the genre.
Our hero is Buzz Gatecrasher and he finds himself on the Planet Darvon with our sweetheart and his, Hillen Dale, and with Dr. Art Deco, the obligatory dotty scientist.
Darvon is ruled by Vaknor, a cross between Darth Vader, Ming the Merciless and Dracula, who fancies himself Emperor of the Universe.
With the help of Arno, the winged King of the Hawk People, Buzz vanquishes Vaknor and saves the universe only to be reminded by the announcer that we all have to tune in next week for Episode 27!
