• WHO IS MARY TYLER MOOREHAWK? How did she save the world from a dimension-hopping megalomaniac?

A compilation of long-lost gee-whiz adventure comics in which the world’s strangest family fights to avert Armageddon…and a bundle of magazine articles from a dystopian future where physical property is banned and entertainment is broadcast on dishwashers.
