Das allererste Captain Future Abenteuer wurde bereits im Jahr 1940 veröffentlicht.
Edmond Hamilton (1904-1977) schrieb die literarische Quelle für die Zeichentrickfassung
von 1978. Die Geschichten wurden in Pulp Magazinen für 15 Cents/Stück verkauft.
In der Zeit von 1940-44 erschienen vierteljährlich insgesamt 17 Ausgaben (im Herbst
'43 erschien kein Heft) von Captain Future - Wizard of Science (bzw. Man of Tomorrow).
Alle außer drei Ausgaben wurden von Edmond Hamilton geschrieben.
Danach gab nur noch sporadisch neue Captain Future Geschichten.
Es gibt eine Kurzgeschichte namens 'The Death of Captain Future' von Allen Steele.
Sie wurde mit dem Hugo Award für beste Novelle 1996 gekrönt. Es ist eigentlich
keine richtige Captain Future Geschichte, sondern der Hauptcharakter versucht so zu sein
wie Captain Future (bzw. ist davon überzeugt, er zu sein).
