Talking of space opera (a la E.E. Doc Smith), does anyone recall Perry Rhodan?
This actually billed itself as space opera, started in Germany, and eventually
started to take over the whole world. I have been collecting English editions
for yonks now, and have recently found the first book (!!) in its posh, Foss
covered edition. I am up to 32 (Challenge of the Unknown, see, I told you it
was space opera) and am scanning bookshops for any more hypertransitions. The
majority of it is gunk, but it's highly readable gunk. I've seen decent editionsup to about 100 and something.

There was supposed to be a film: 'SOS from Outer Space' - Where is it now?
