Lost in Space: The Initial Adventures

Special notice: This book is the first edition of "Lost in Space: The Initial Adventures," originally released in 2022. It DOES NOT contain the latest, extended version of Chapter 6, "Refuge of the Damned," nor the all-new speculative story for Chapter 7, "Saintliness and Savagery." It is not being retired, however, as it still boasts other, supplemental sections that are unique to this edition alone. If you are looking for all the latest enhancements to the novelized section, however, please consider Ron's newer offering: "Lost in Space: The Initial Adventures - Expanded Second Edition." Thanks. "Lost in Space: The Initial Adventures" features a fully illustrated novelization of the initial multi-segment story arc that launched the popular TV series back in 1965. The earliest episodes were clearly in a class by themselves, as they represented the show as a serious science fiction drama. Ron Gross's unique artistic expression helps to bring this highly regarded, initial story arc of "Lost in Space" to life. The finished work also contains a variey of "lost" scenes that were scripted but never filmed, or filmed but eventually cut. In an effort to make the story as complete as possible, one entire "lost" episode is also included. The celebrated first five segments of "Lost in Space" were all originally penned by Shimon Wincelberg, but there was originally to have been a sixth installment that was never filmed. Ron Gross now gives us a glimpse into what that final segment might have looked like after studying rare, recently discovered resources. Thought provoking full-color illustrations combined with compelling text now tell the original story of "Lost in Space" as never before. Support sections cover even more details as well as other quality first season episodes. "Lost in Space: The Inititial Adventures" is a companion volume to Ron Gross's first book on the Amazon platform, "Fantasy Worlds Beyond: The Irwin Allen Art of Ron Gross." Ron first became aware of "Lost in Space" at age eleven, when the first promo for the show was broadcast by CBS in the summer of 1965. "Lost in Space" continued to capture Ron's imagination into adulthood, which resulted in various scratch-built modeling projects, and box cover art contributions to Irwin Allen-based model kits. Today Ron is officially licensed to create new graphic materials based on the Irwin Allen sci-fi television properties.
