Three loonies, Dick, Ned and Professor Benton, are completely unprepared for their trip to the Moon. They arrive just as a powerful earthquake destroys the capitol, are attacked by an alligator-octopus creature, hunt wild game on the Lunar plains, and almost get eaten by a sea monster. And that's just the first day! Will the Moon king powerful Prince Moda prove to be their greatest friend or bitterest enemy? The volume contains a new story based on the original, also included as a reprint for the first time since 1896.
