Comic StorySelura (6 pages)
SynopsisKelly, Sue, and Whacky are in Kelly's rocket plane when it goes out of control, leaves Earth, and lands on the planet Selura. They meet various odd beings. The Wise One says these are "misfits," banished from the Outer Rings where the "true Selurians...an intelligent but somewhat cruel people" live.
FeaturingRocket Kelly
ContentGenre: Science Fiction | Characters: Captain Patrick Kelly; Sue Andrews; Whacky; Gilad; the Wise One
NotesThis story is a direct sequel to the Rocket Kelly story in The Bouncer (1944 series) #14 Spring 1945. Thus, the "1944" date of Everybody's Comics is dubious.
 
Comic StoryWise One (6 pages)
SynopsisOn the planet Selura, the Wise One explains to Kelly, Sue and Whacky that the "misfits" they have met are the failed results of the Selurians to perfect their race. Kelly agrees to pose as a deceased "misfit" so his "corpse" will be taken to the Outer Rings for examination by the Selurians. When the Selurians arrive to pick him up, Kelly shoots them and proves to the Wise One that they aren't immortal. The Wise One says his people will "settle peaceably with the Outer Ring" now that they don't have to fear their oppressors.
