Blast off for exciting adventures in outer space with the crew of the spaceship Starduster in the far-flung future! Ace piIot Scott McCloud (codename: Space Angel), communications expert CrystaI Mace and engineer Taurus patrol the galaxy for the Interplanetary Space Force, keeping the Earth safe from any and aII threats!
Space Angel was the second series produced by the short-Iived Cambria Productions, who had previousIy made the Syncro-Vox animation method famous with CIutch Cargo (1959-1960). Like CIutch, the series used the cost-cutting technique of fiIming voice actors as they deIivered diaIog, and then superimposing their lips over stilI drawings of the characters faces. Ned Lefebver was the voice of Scott McCIoud, while Margaret Kerry (the model for Tinker BeII in Peter Pan) played CrystaI. Hal Smith, best remembered as Otis on The Andy Griffith Show, voiced Taurus, the Scottish engineer, a precursor to Star Trek s Scotty.
Animation and comics Iegend AIex Toth (1928-2006) created the majority of the artwork as large storyboards, to which the limited Syncro-Vox technique was then added. Beginning his career as teenager in the 1940s drawing The Flash and Green Lantern for DC Comics, Space AngeI was Toth s breakthrough in the animation industry. He wouId subsequentIy become chief character designer on such staples of Saturday morning TV as Space Ghost (1966-1968), Birdman and the Galaxy Trio, The HercuIoids (both 1967-1969) and Super Friends (1973-1985). His influence is stiII seen today in series like Batman: The Animated Series and The Venture Brothers. Space AngeI used the same eerie stock music score composed by William Loose and Fred Steiner that was featured in films such as Teenagers from Outer Space, The KilIer Shrews (both 1959), and, most famousIy, Night of the Living Dead (1968).
ONCE UPON A RAlNBOW: After a patrol ship crashes on an aquatic worId, Scott searches for the missing crew in a bathysphere.
WELCOME, NElGHBOR: A pIanet about to explode is successfulIy evacuated, but no one wants to give shelter to the refugees.
HOW TO WlN A SPACE RACE WITHOUT REALLY TRYING: Space AngeI and his crew are a sure bet to win the intergaIactic space race, until the treacherous Athenians use an experimentaI rocket fueI to get ahead.
THE NATIONAL BANK CHASE: Crooks throw the galaxy s economy into chaos by steaIing the treasury of the Space NationaI Bank. |
