Most successful SiFi pulp fiction series ever is German.
Prompted by the recent treasure hunt that gave us the Fix and Foxi post, we looked for more and found the space adventures of Mr. Perry Rhodan.
Unlike the little foxes, Rhodan was published in the US and has a web page in English.
In typical K-landnews fashion, we proffer an opinion devoid of self doubt: Mr. Rhodan's success occurred despite his German publishers not having the ways and means of a US style media blitz.
Isn't time for a movie or a TV series around Mr. Rhodan, Mr. Atlan, and the mouse?
Oh, what, you are saying Star Wars, the Clone Wars, and some other American SiFi movies were influenced by them?
The previous sentence about possible influences is meant to be red meat. We know from interminable discussions in the newsroom how deeply involved true SiFi fans can be and will sit back and chuckle about the heated debates we hope to kick off with this.
