Slight spine roll. Some spotting to top edge of pages ISSUE NOTES - Diskan Fentress, mutant son of a space explorer, did not fit into his father's world - or any world the boy had ever know. His outsize strength in a poorly coordinated body, which often resulted in his breaking what he wanted to mend or cherish, dismayed him and destroyed any self-confidence he might have had. Not until he stole a spaceship and crash landed on an unknown planet did he have a chance to prove himself and his special merits. He found he could communicate by thought-projection with the strange furred animals native to the planet with whom he had a special kinship. In time, led by the animals, he was able to playa part in restoring an ancient culture in which at last he found himself no longer haunted by his clumsy inadequacy. Show more
