The American release was published in [[The Seventies]] in a paperback book format by Ace that contained other material making it resemble a magazine; after this series was cancelled a few more issues were directly sold by [[Forrest J.

* [[Alien Invasion]] - Happened to Earth several times. One story arc saw the Milky Way galaxy ruled by an Alien Overlord for several centuries, who had his headquarters on Earth and enslaved several of the galactic races. And once Earth was taken over by a rogue Cosmic Power (Vishna), although that did not last long. The Milky Way and Andromeda definitely seem to be cosmic hotspots for trouble...
** At least they're still in one piece and did not go kaboom like some other galaxies.
