The Nyctalope on Mars 2: The Triumph of Love

Read The Nyctalope on Mars 2: The Triumph of Love Storyline:

Leo Saint-Clair, alias the Nyctalope, was created in 1911 by Jean de La Hire, one of France's most prolific serial writers. Gifted with night vision, hypnotic powers and an artificial heart, Saint-Clair is a fearless hero who battles colorful super-villains. His adventures, which spanned 30 years, created a template that was later adopted by such pulp heroes as Doc Savage (1933), before providing the core mythology of American comic books. In the second part of The Nyctalope on Mars (1911), after defeating the Fifteen, the Nyctalope must then face an ever more fearsome foe: H. G. Wells' Martians. The Nyctalope on Mars predicted the course that popular fiction was to follow in the next 50 years. Brian Stableford.
