I am very excited about the new Space 1999 books. I’ve read the earlier ones and am halfway through Born for Adversity. I think the concept of publishing books on demand is innovative and might have possiblities beyond Space 1999. Dark Shadows has had 3 books published that did reasonably well, but did not make any sort of a splash. It occurs to me that this might be the sort of franchise that could prosper here. I believe that most DS fans, like Space 1999 fans would be willing to pay more for a regular string of books. I’m not sure where the rights stand. I know Tor published the last one, but I’m not sure if they are still up for grabs. Would this be something worth considering? Other franchises I’d love to see include Lost in Space (if done the way the Innovation comics handled it with Bill Mumy supervising), Logan’s Run (I think the TV series characters had possibilities that went unexplored in the TV show), Planet of the Apes (I’d love to read anything from the movies, or either TV show), UFO (actually this one might be the most logical one for you guys), and I’m sure there are countless others.
