The Adventures of Captain Jack
- The Adventures of Captain Jack
"The Adventures of Captain Jack" is a furry comic book created by Mike Kazaleh and published by Fantagraphics in 1986 [ [http://www.arclight.net/yarf/YARF_Chronology.html A Chronology of Furry Fandom] , Fred Pattern, 1996 ] .
The book follows the misadventures of a shady private starship captain and his misfit crew. The cast of characters includes Captain Jack (of course), the self-assured, gray-furred cat captain of the starship "Glass Onion"; Herman Feldman, crewmember dog (who actually "likes" "space food"); Beezlebub (sic), Herman's tiny, demonic sidekick (who is invisible to the rest of the cast); and Adam Fink, an android dog who usually gets stuck with the heavy lifting. Later, they are joined by Janet (a raccoon), a farmer's daughter that falls in love with Herman.
The crew's adventures included encounters with a crazy wizard and his giant pinball machine, the farm planet of Janet's father, Herman's near-death experience (where God is shown to actually be the almighty dollar), the attempted rescue of lost astronaut Stanley Tomcat (who doesn't want to be rescued), a planet of TV-hating housewives, and more. The series was enhanced by Kazelah's smooth, animation-influenced artwork, reminiscent in style to that of Chuck Jones.
It has been collected as The Collected Captain Jack and More Collected Adventures of Captain Jack, both from MU Press [ [http://mupress.com/catalogpg03.html Mike Kazeleh] collections in the MU Press catalogue] ] .
