| 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]

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!
