Description

In the 1980s, Bill Mumy (who played Will Robinson on the Lost In Space (1965) series) had tried, and failed, to convince Irwin Allen to allow production of a Lost in Space film for theaters or TV. In 1991, a fledgling publisher called Innovation Comics began to produce an ambitious, high-quality Lost in Space comic, which was authorized and licensed. It was scripted by Mumy himself, and his intention was to reflect the more serious tone of the first season episodes. Lost in Space was Innovations best selling property, outselling all their other comics combined. The comic only managed to run for 18 issues, 2 annuals and 1 of 2 issues of a miniseries however, but not because of poor sales. Innovations ambitious projects couldnt keep ahead of their bottom line, and the company went out of business. ~ Wiki   These are some of my 18 comics and two Annuals, signed by the Moo-man himself! Some are signed on the back cover - he likes to do that, sometimes.   Youtube link is to a slideshow of all twenty cover artworks and signatures.
