Forbidden Planet #1

Plot

Loosely based on Shakespeare's The Tempest, MGM's lavishly produced Forbidden Planet (1956) is a true sci-fi classic, influencing countless other works, including Star Trek and 2001: A Space Odyssey. Starring Leslie Nielson as Commander J.J. Adams and Anne Francis as the daughter of Dr. Morbius, the film made a star of Robby the Robot, who is featured on the cover of the first installment of this official comic book adaptation. The issue ends with the introduction of Altaira. She doesn't look much like Anne Francis, but the art as a whole is very nice. Script by David Campiti, with adaptation and painted art by Daerick Gross. Includes essay "A Beacon in the Galaxy" by Steve "Mr. Movie" Friedman.
