CAPTAIN CREATURE
    AND THE
PHYSICIAN OF MARS

by Hamil Edmonton
        Complete Book-lenght Novel !

THUDS! BLUNDERS!!     MELERDRAMER!!!!

   ****************

        Captain Creature was in his laboratory on the sun (What's that? How could he live on the sun? Don't ask me. I'm sure I don't know). He was reading a book called "The A B C's of Science". Captain Creature had just reached an especially intriguing part of the book -- How to make your very own electric motor -- when Skagm his robot, tripped over the Eye and fell with a terrific clatter.
        Captain Creature leaped to his feet, bumped his head on the ceiling, and began swearing horribly, meanwhile beating Slag with a sledge hammer. In a short time, however, he was exhausted, as he was given to drinking, smoking, and other vices. His health was terrible!
         "My heart!" he croaked feebly, sinking into his rocking chair. Instantly Blotto, the sunthetic fungoid, rushed over with a huge hypodermic and pumped several gallens of adrenalin into Captain Creature.
         As he sat there, resting, Captain Creature reviewed, in his mind (oh yes; he had one!) the circumstances that had led to his present mode of life. He recalled the Eye's vivid tales of how Creature's parents had been kicked out by their cold hearted landlord one sultry August night.
         "And only because their rent was three years overdue! he reflected bitterly. 
         His parents had then fled to the sun, where they had built the cramped six by eight laboratory in which Captain Creature now lived. They had brought with them from earth, this his whiskey-filled glass case, the Eye, who had been taken from a dying old drunkard. From the Eye, Captain Creature had leanned almost everything he know!
          Shortly after they arrived on the sun, Captain Creature's father built Slag, the robot, from old tin cans and a victrola motor. In this dificult enterprise he was ably assisted by the Eye.
          Later they grew Blotto, the synthetic fungoid.
           Two years after Captain Creature was born, landlord came to the sun and angry because he could not collect the three years rent, shot Captain Creatures.
