Good Morning, Anniephans! If memory serves me correctly, the Doctor Dark story is one loose thread that Maeder never tied up. I don’t think Doctor Dark is ever mentioned again, although elements of the story turned up in the Xaxos arc.
P1 – Annie, by Jay Maeder and Alan Kupperberg / Steady, Gilbreath! Up you come, then! Let’s go home!P2 – Thup-thup! Thup-thup! P3 – There they go, Admiral! The Russians are calling it quits. They’re slinking away! / Yes, Gilbreath, their submersible is wrecked. They’re out of business for the moment.P4 – But we’ll surely hear from them again. Those are private business interests. They have much invested in this operation. / Well, Sir, they’ll hear from our side again as well.P5 – I must make a full report to the United States Navy! / Indeed you must, Lieutenant. You are an officer. Your duty is clear.P6 – Still, Sir, we could destroy Doctor Dark, just us, right now. And put an end to this, forever. / I am aware of that Lieutenant. I am also aware that the decision is not ours. The next step is the Enemy’s. (I think that’s the word)P7 – Aye, Sir.P8 – Suddenly got real quiet around here, Amelia. / Let’s just us sorta shush, Annie.P9 – And so we leave Doctor Dark to the sea… / Jay Maeder and Alan Kupperberg 8-26-01 / Thup-thup / …as new adventures await Annie and Santiago.
I, too, can barely make out the print at 200x on this ol’ CRT, but it’s just a mite sharper on my Win7 laptop’s 16" screen.For those that aren’t ‘most people’ , click on ‘page’ at the top of your browser. click on the ‘zoom’ drop-down and adjust from there. Quick and dirty method, hold ‘Ctrl’ down while pressing the + or – on the calculator side of the kbd. OBTW; he DID say “the next step is the Navy’s” Boy, readin’ the funnies ain’t been this hard since I was SIX !

AS ALWAYS, WITHOUT THE ZOOM FUNCTION THE TEXT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO READ. WHY EVEN BOTHER POSTING THE STRIPS?

The comic strip is hard to read even with the zoom function.
