Voyage into Space (1970) poster

 

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.
