Captain Future Vol. 2, No. 2 (Winter, 1941). Cover Art by Earle Bergey

            Captain Future Magazine ran for 17 issues from 1940 to 1944 and featured a character created by Better Publications editor Mort Weisinger.  Every issue had a full-length novel by Edmond Hamilton about Captain Future and his companions: a seven-foot tall robot, a green-skinned android and a human brain living in a box.  Together they were known as the “Futuremen” and they had adventures throughout the solar system and beyond.  When the magazine folded in 1944, the series was popular enough that new stories were published in Startling Stories up through 1951.  

In 1978, one year after Hamilton’s death, Toei Animation of Japan produced a Captain Future anime TV series of 53 episodes, based on 13 original Hamilton stories.  The series was translated into several languages and distributed globally.  The Arabic-language version is considered one of the most popular anime series after being broadcast many times in the 1980s.  While only 8 episodes were dubbed into English, the series met huge success particularly in France, Italy, Spain and Latin America.
