Captain Sternn: Running Out of Time

A new problem has struck this motley world of ours: the dead are refusing to stay dead. Scientists are baffled, but not having a clue never stopped the intrepid Captain Sternn and his companion Justine Tyme from rushing into action. They set their sights on business magnate Fillmore Coffers, head of the Cosmic Coola beverage company. As it turns out, Fillmore has opened dimensional doorways into the Jurassic era and has discovered a hyper-addictive plant that grows there. This plant is so addictive that when placed in a beverage, like Cosmic Coola, people will keep drinking it until they die—then get up and drink more! Unfortunately, Fillmore has managed to trap Sternn and Tyme in the Jurassic era. Can they possibly escape in time to stop the Walking Death, or will they merely show up someday as fossilized dinosaur food?

Captain Sternn is a hilarious and action-packed tale by renowned horror-master Bernie Wrightson.
