Cool! Hermes Press plans to reprint those old Gold Key Comics based on Irwin Allen-produced TV shows such as "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea," "The Time Tunnel" and "Land of the Giants" (No plans for "Lost in Space," though. That show was actually inspired by a Gold Key series, "The Space Family Robinson.")

The 208-page Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Complete Series Volume 1 ($49.99) is a deluxe 8.5”x11” hardcover (with dust jacket) that reprints the first eight issues of the Gold Key comic book series featuring Admiral Nelson, Captain Crane and the Seaview. The volume also includes documentary material about the TV show including production designs and information on the special effects (especially that rocking stage effect that shook the Seaview and crew during almost every episode). The comics themselves have been digitally remastered to show off the artwork to great effect—and the books featured some excellent Silver Age talents such as cover artist George Wilson and pencillers Mike Sekowsky, Don Heck, George Tuska, and Alberto Giolitti.
