AIP might have sold Voyage into Space as a theatrical movie in other parts of the world. It would have been fun to see on the big screen especially as a kid. This may have just been a promotional piece of art for the press kit, though. It is pretty evocative, though one could easily see how Giant Robot looks like Commando Cody (this is what I actually thought when when I saw the 8mm movie box in Kmart as a kid. Whattya want, I was eight years old or so!). I should have paid more attention. Johnny Sokko never got as much attention as Ultraman did, but I am glad AIP dubbed it and brought it over here. And I am also glad the series is out on DVD.
