Escape Velocity

™ and © respective creators

This black-and-white anthology title stars Frajeana, Queen of the Star Pirates, a space-faring heroine—a term she abhors, by the way—who rights wrongs throughout the cosmos with the aid of her psychic rat-friend Ratagascar. This is good, old-fashioned space opera. The back up stories range from the poignant—”Brothers in War”—to the silly—”Tales of the Vacuum Busters.” So, all in all, Escape Velocity is a mixed bag, but Frajeana is worth a look.
