Unfortunately, the comic proved short-lived when Kazaleh went too far for many comics retailers in issue #5 which had a story that climaxes with a tenderly romantic but relatively graphic sex scene for its time. As such, the comic's circulation declined until Kazaleh called a halt to it in issue #12 with Captain Jack making a [[MoralEventHorizon despicable bargaining choice]] in run-down Detroit that causes Herman to gain a new inner strength through the sacrifice of Beelzebub to take his leave with Janet from Jack forever.
The series has an epilogue in the anthology series, ''Critters'' where Herman and Janet manage to find jobs on their own and a separate special, ''A*K*Q*J'' which features the gang in a comedic period variant story.

The rest of his crew of his tiny spaceship, ''The Glass Onion'', includes a tall, but high-strung canine android named Adam Fink, whom Jack won in a pinochle game and Herman Feldman, a naive hound dog who likes space food and serves as essentially a hanger-on.
Unknown to Captain Jack, Herman has a constant companion, Beelzebub, a seemingly magical and miniature copy of Herman except he's red and has a demonic pointy tail and usually causes endless trouble out of pure mischief. Among his powers is to cloud men's minds to keep from being seen, which means only the android Adam can see him outside of Herman, who has no reason to jeopardize his own job by confirming it.
The series has a delicate balance of slapstick comedy with Jack's wheeling and dealing when he is not pool or card sharking even while Adam and Herman have their own hi-jinks when they are not drawn into bittersweet romances. The latter draws in Janet into the crew, a racccon FarmersDaughter with a fiery temper moderated by a tender compassionate side.
