Sadly, Capt. Fantastic #5 has gone missing, but I’m thinking the story is not so complicated that we can’t pick it up with some level of ease even after skipping a whole chapter.

This is the first of my early comics where I can honestly say that I did something in tribute rather than ripping it off wholeheartedly – that is, the inclusion of the Sleestak. As fans of Land of the Lost will note, that is not a Sleestak at all, but rather an homage. An homage that ends up in a hole in the ground in one of my favorite fictional sequences that I ever wrote. Two panels, one concise statement, but so much work and emotion in between.
