5. The Show’s Producer Had ‘No Idea’ That The Comic Existed

Irwin Allen developed the show for CBS with the original title being Space Family Robinson. Of course, that was the name of the comic developed by Gold Key Comics three years earlier. Though he claimed that he had no idea that the comic existed while he was developing his virtually identical program, he was still eager to work with Gold Key to license comics based on his show. As a result, not only did Gold Key decide not to sue, they changed the name of their comic to Lost in Space.
