Before the television series was developed, a comic book named ''Space Family Robinson'' was published by Gold Key Comics, written by [[Gaylord Du Bois]] and illustrated by [[Dan Spiegle]]. The comic book series had been loosely based on an 1812 novel by [[Johann David Wyss]], ''[[The Swiss Family Robinson]]''. Du Bois became the sole writer of the series once he began chronicling the Robinsons' adventures with "Peril on Planet Four" in issue #8. Due to a deal worked out with Gold Key, the title of the comic later incorporated the ''Lost in Space'' sub-title. The comic book featured different characters and a unique H-shaped spacecraft rather than one of a saucer shape.

In 1991, Bill Mumy provided "Alpha Control Guidance" for a ''Lost in Space'' revival in comic book form [[Lost in Space (comic)|''Lost in Space'' comic book]] for [[Innovation Comics]], writing six of the issues. The first officially licensed comic to be based on the TV series, the series was set several years after the show. The kids were now teenagers, and the stories attempted to return the series to its straight adventure roots with one story even explaining the camp / farce episodes of the series as fanciful entries in Penny's Space Diary.

Complex adult-themed story concepts were introduced and the story included a love triangle developing between Penny, Judy and Don. The ''Jupiter 2'' had various interior designs in the first year. The first year had an arc ultimately leading the travelers to Alpha Centauri with Smith contacting his former alien masters along the way. Aeolis 14 Umbra were furious with Smith for not having succeeded in his mission to prevent the ''Jupiter 2'', built with technology from a crashed ship of their race, from reaching the star system they had claimed as their own. The year ended with Smith caught out for his traitorous associations and imprisoned in a freezing tube for the ''Jupiter''{{'}}s final journey to the Promised Planet. Year two was to be Mumy's own full season story of a complex adventure following the Robinson's arrival at their destination and capture by the Aoleans. Innovation folded in 1993 with the story only halfway through and it wasn't until 2005 that Mumy was able to present his story to Lost in Space fandom as a complete graphic novel via Bubblehead Publishing. The theme of an adult Will Robinson was also explored in the film and in the song "The Ballad of Will Robinson" (written and recorded by Mumy; see "''Music''" below).

In 1998, Dark Horse Comics published a three-part story chronicling the Robinson Clan as depicted in the film.

In 1990, Bill Mumy and Peter David co-wrote ''Star Trek: The Return of the Worthy'', a three-part story that was essentially a crossover between ''Lost in Space'' and ''Star Trek'' with the ''Enterprise'' crew encountering a Robinson-like expedition among the stars, though with different characters.

In 2016, [[American Gothic Press]] published a six-issue miniseries titled ''Irwin Allen's Lost in Space, the Lost Adventures'', based on unfilmed scripts from the series. The scripts "The Curious Galactics" and "Malice in Wonderland" were written by [[Carey Wilber]]. The first script was adapted as issues 1 – 3 of the series, with the adapted script written by Holly Interlandi and drawn by Kostas Pantaulas, with Patrick McEvoy doing coloring and covers. The second script was adapted as issues 4 – 6 of the series, again adapted by Interlandi, with McEvoy providing pencil art, coloring and covers.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.popculthq.com/2016/03/17/first-look-irwin-allens-lost-in-space-the-lost-adventures-1-from-american-gothic-press/|title=First Look – Irwin Allen's Lost in Space: The Lost Adventures #1 from American Gothic Press|first=Jason|last=Bennett|date=March 17, 2016|access-date=December 7, 2016|archive-date=December 20, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161220182558/http://www.popculthq.com/2016/03/17/first-look-irwin-allens-lost-in-space-the-lost-adventures-1-from-american-gothic-press/|url-status=dead}}</ref>
