Based on a series of popular Euro SciFi Digest Booklets (see above left) written by Clark Darlton and Karlheinz Scheer. A new issue would appear at least once a month for over 40 years; it is believed that over 1.3 billion books were published. Interestingly, the name of neither author appears in the credits, a decision that spawned numerous lawsuits and kept this film from receiving a wide release. It stars Lang Jeffries (best known for his numerous peplums including ALONE AGAINST ROME) and Scandinavian actress Essy Persson who found International success with the controversial films I, A WOMAN and THERESE AND ISABELLE.
