Fiete_Langohr i wrote an article about the german-speaking furry fandom and it´s connections with the science fiction fandom for the "Andromeda SF Magazin" published by the Science Fiction Club Germany. The magazine was handed out for free at the Worldcon in Dublin some weeks ago.
If you are interested you can download the magazine here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cI.....bMD_WgUNV/view
(The article is readable in German and English!)
The wonderful
Schiraki not only drew our author´s portraits for the article (http://www.furaffinity.net/view/31497841/) but also illustrated the title "Gucky and the Fluffbutts"!
(Gucky is a cast member of PERRY RHODAN, the longest running sci-fi novel series on this planet, and an "incredibly cute telepathic-telekinetic-teleporting mouse-beaver" as Fred Patten wrote some years back. You can find some more pictures of him here in my gallery.)

The story line starts in 1971 with the first manned moon landing by U.S. Space Force Major Perry Rhodan and his crew, who discover a marooned extraterrestrial space ship from the (fictional) planet Arkon in the (real) M13 cluster. Appropriating the Arkonide technology, they proceed to unify Terra and carve out a place for humanity in the galaxy and the cosmos...

There was one try at a movie, very early on. And it was so painfully bad that the fans as well as the uninitiated movie goers basically dropped out.
I have several favourites in the Perry Rhodan universe.
For one, ES, the mind-only creature that gifts Perry Rhoden immortality.
For another, Old Man, a 200km diameter half-sphere with 12 attached, 50km long mobile hangar modules.
I also love the fact that humanity in Perry Rhodan is just the second try of earths humanity, if not even the third, to get to the stars.
Before the "now" there were the Lemurians, before the last ice age, who had established a stellar civilization.
Old Man was a gift from survivors of the first stellar empire for their far descendants in the future.
The Posbis are also awesome. A robot civilization, with bioplasma at its heart, which, when there is enough of it, gets sentient.

The idea that a brave warrior rises up and conquers the world (or in this case the universe) dates back to ancient times. The "Epic of Gilgamesh" (the oldest recorded story) has a similar plot (although Gilgamesh ultimately fails in his quest to gain immortality). It is however noticeable that some critics had similar views as you and some went so far to call Perry Rhodan "interstellar Hitler" (probably because both are technically Emperors).
Perry Rhodan is way more human than superhuman but sure, the series was criticised for being imperialistic and trigger-happy (even fascistic) in the early days. Therefore the series became quite humanistic and developed a broader ethical scope in the 70s and 80s.
(And it's a series of novels not comics.)
