Found this video that goes into a lot of detail on the pulp hero created by Weisinger and mostly written by our old friend Hamilton, which even got an anime adaptation!
(although the video does take a while before it gets there)

Has anyone here read any of Hamilton's pulp stories or novels?
I've read his "Battle for the stars" novel and it was meh, but Captain Future sounds completely nuts.

I have very faint memories of the anime. It wasn't super popular in Italy, but apparently it's even less popular in the US.

I've still never read any Captain Future, but I love the concept of the character so much.

You can find a fair number of Hamilton stories/novels in audio form on YouTube these days.
