Manic Monday Bonus--Byrne: 1999!!

Then there was that time that John Byrne had Martin Landau trapped in space without a helmet...






I have no idea what the rights situation might be. But given the hunger of some comic companies to throw classic genre franchises at us with all-star art teams and infinite variant covers, it's a bit surprising that no one is currently giving us a Space: 1999 comic right now. Hey, IDW, you listening?

And, hey, if someone wanted to do another one of those interminable Green Lantern crossovers, well, Space: 1999 seems a natural. See, Mongul wanted a new Warworld, and so he tried to steal the moon, and...this is why I'm not allowed to write comics.

From Space: 1999 #6 (1976)
