If you are at all familiar with Hack Masters as a comic book, not the recent spate of hacking activity on the internet, then you would have seen a series of comic book strips show up in the Knights of the Dinner Table series. Those comic strips were put into their own three part series written by Doug Curtis and printed by Kenzer Publishing. This is just good clean fun for all ages, and will have both kids and adults giggling over the crazy things that Captain Queeze and his crew come across in Space Hack. Yes, this is a direct rip off of Star Trek, showing once more the influence that a television series can have on entire generations of people. And yes, the crew is not just crazy, but how they solve problems is simply insane, which is why we get giggles from the series.
You might think that it would be a difficult road to make a series of disjointed strips in Knights of the Dinner table stand alone as their own three part mini-series, but not really. Doug has done a very good job handling the continuity of the story line and these comics standalone very well keeping the reader entertained and laughing. When you look at Captain Queeze you see some of the more outrageous spots where you might be flashing back to those Captain Kirk moments of humor. Even if Captain Kirk was not acting to be funny at the time in the series. These are good comics to share with your kids as a way to keep them reading and entertained. This black and white comic book series is well worth finding and keeping a copy handy for when the kids are bored.
You do not often find good solid kids comics that are a spoof of everything Star Trek, but this one does an awesome job of keeping things approachable for all ages. Kid’s comics are a difficult market in the best of times, Space Hack shows that it can be done, done well, and done intelligently enough to keep everyone across all age groups entertained.
Well worth hunting down and reading, these rare hard to find comics are a gem.
