If I had been given a cover-less copy of this comic,I would have sworn that it was D.C.'s Strange Adventures in its early days. From me,that is a high compliment,S.A.is one of my very favorite comics. Nice to know there were more optimistic science fiction comics other than the D.C. ones.

Gran trabajo. Saludos. Muchas gracias.

Got to point out a story by Jerome Bixby, most well-known for the twilight zone's, 'Its a good life.' I remember reading the story first, when I was very young, and having the crap scared out of me. This story is a good deal more optimistic. Still makes you think tho.

Also worth noting is that Murphy Anderson also worked on DC’s Strange Adventures, which makes the similarity even more apparent.

Good issue - I liked the retro look of The Space Treasure.

He did a lot more than that! [quote]From 1947 to 1949, Anderson was the artist on the Buck Rogers comic-book series.[3] During the 1950s, Anderson worked for several publishers including Pines Comics, St. John Publications, Ziff Davis, DC Comics, and Atlas Comics, that decade's predecessor of Marvel Comics.[4] "Star Pirate" splash page, Planet Comics #50 (Sept. 1947), penciled and inked by Anderson Anderson succeeded artist and co-creator Carmine Infantino on the superhero feature "Captain Comet" beginning with the story "The Girl from the Diamond Planet" in Strange Adventures #12 (cover-dated Sept. 1951).[3] Years later, Anderson and writer John Broome created the feature "Atomic Knights" in Strange Adventures #117 (June 1960),[5] which Anderson later described as his favorite assignment.[6] Anderson and writer Gardner Fox launched the Hawkman series in May 1964[7] and introduced the Zatanna character in issue #4 (Nov. 1964).[/quote]

I read this comic just now. And I thoroughly enjoyed it! Thanks to the one who posted it! I have been bored today, as I sit here in my home with Covid-19. I appreciate your historical preservation of pure vintage entertainment! Sylvremane
