The series, with the exception of the final two episodes, functioned as narratively complete short stories with a definite Zane Grey - cum - Edgar Rice Burroughs - cum - Philip K. Dick feeling (pulp as masticated by an apocalyptic culture, the only one that has experienced
an atomic weapon attack)-- building as it progressed a bebop quintet of characters with hero Spike, mentor Jet, buxom femme Faye, spirit guide Ed, and animal sidekick Ein.
