Behold the Krogs

Venna’s Planet is the story of Venna 8632, a strong-willed, highly skilled, soldier-drilled woman on a mission in outer space, where gravity keeps you perky and the future appears to be rather retro. She’s a crew member of the Suntreader, which has been travelling for fifty years (mostly with her occupants in cryogenic hibernation) in order to find a new planet to colonise.

Tired of playing shoot ’em up with aliens, Venna yearns to settle on the newest planet the Suntreader has been orbiting - a world they have named Promise. Unfortunately, the only promise Venna is living on is the continuation of a futile war with the current inhabitants - the Krogs… and that’s reached somewhat of a predictable stalemate.

Combining the episodic thrills of classic film serials such as Flash Gordon or Buck Rogers with the free-wheeling 1960s spirit of Barbarella, Venna’s Planet is a full-cast audio drama adapted from the popular graphic novels written and illustrated by Robin Evans.

In this episode:

Venna encounters a swamp monster which inconveniently eats her clothes; she then turns to a sprightly milkbug herder named Suhl for some much-needed help. Meanwhile, two Krogs - Geezur and Blok - are dispatched to capture the downed Venna. To a Krog, however, one human looks very much like another…
