    Captain Cosmic traverses the galaxy with his associates Sergeant Star
    and Commander Crabbe. They act as goodwill ambassadors to the cosmos,
    Guardians of Universal Peace, and all-round problem solvers. Which is just 
    as well the galaxy is being held to ransom by the likes of Interface the cyborg,
    Roogal Van Cash the daring interstellar thief, and the evil Lord Ska...

    Captain Cosmic and company made their first appearances in the youth
    magazine "Cosmic", before leaping in to the pages of the weekly puzzler
    "Take a Puzzle". The gang appear here in short blue-shaded strips, a star
    system away from the grand adventures which grace the likes of the first
    Captain Cosmic book. In those hardback pages the strip blossomed into
    fantastic full-colour tales in a galaxy packed with alien races and adventure
    - "cosmic" strips, indeed, with titles like Gritty City Splang Bang! and
    Turtle Recall

    Two of the strip's three creators,
writer/designer Guy Campbell and artist Paul
    Moran were/are partners in Moran Campbell da Vinci. Their design company was
    started in 1990 with help from The Princes Youth Business Trust and they
    produced a whole wealth of award winning designs, cartoons, puzzles, toys and
    artwork for clients around the globe. Inker Simon Ecob, meanwhile, has since
    moved on to alternative inking adventures with Nucomix...
