Rick Evans was a young space explorer who lived in Future City. He commanded his own rocketship and saved Earth and other planets from the evil schemes of criminals and pirates. He was accompanied by a beautiful girl named Professor Astra, who served as navigator, and their goofy young assistant, Stringbean. They confronted a wide range of alien threats, including Xako, the scaly six-armed Martian named Lugo, and the Volutans, among others. Rick was an ace pilot and skilled with his fists, but he generally didn’t carry a weapon, nor did his ship appear to be equipped with any.
