A blurb from BCI Eclipse “Defenders of the Earth Vol 2”- Tyrant Ming the Merciless and his vast army of evil accomplices are working overtime to eliminate the human race. But the DEFENDERS OF THE EARTH, led by legendary crime-fighters The Phantom, Flash Gordon, Mandrake and his trusted confidant and bodyguard Lothar, join forces with their uniquely talented teenage children to challenge Ming and his evil followers in a series of great adventures.
In this volume are the final 32 episodes of the series. The series was well written and deserves to have a look. There are ample special features on this set including interviews with the creators of the series, a audio commentary on the episode “Return of the Sky Band”, detailed character profiles, galleries, scripts and storyboards, art cards and even a bonus move “The Story Begins”!
