Futura is one of my favourite Golden Age heroines. Principally, I will be honest, for the stories’ terrific artwork by Chester Martin, who created a voluptuous version of the character, both vulnerable and dominant; beautiful and sexy, but also slightly terrifying. In John Douglas’ excellent sci-fi script, Marcia Reynolds starts out as just an “average girl” (a “second grade technical secretary” of “norm intelligence”) living in Titan City on a futuristic planet earth, but when she is abducted by an interstellar kidnapper, a whole new life opens up for Marcia. Transported to Cymradia by the evil Mentor along with other abductees to provide nutrition for an alien race, Marcia swiftly becomes the leader of her fellow-captives, inspiring them to dream of escape. Re-named “Futura” by her captors, the emboldened young woman eventually leads her compatriots in a successful revolt and from that point she assumes her identity as an injustice-battling, planet-hopping and ass-kicking space heroine. Overthrowing space tyrants and pirates along the way, Futura’s main aim however is always to try to return to earth.

In the pages featured here, Futura has found herself falsely accused of being the space pirate Yrina and fights to clear her name. She appears to have done so when, still a fugitive, she manages to capture Yrina and her male sidekick and lover Omma, but, sadly for Futura, the captive pair will turn the tables on the “earthgirl” and the formidable space woman will find herself plunged back into peril. Douglas’ prose was already a little anachronistic by the late 1940s, but it fitted perfectly Martin’s heroic artwork and was reminiscent of the RKO radio and TV shows of the time such as Flash Gordon.

Futura enjoyed a twenty one-issue run in Planet Comics from numbers 43 (July 1946) to 64 (April 1950). The above pages are from the Futura adventure in Planet Comics #58 (January 1949)
