The first story "Invaders from a Lost Galaxy" is surprisingly good for such a vintage comic book. It very much captures the flavor of the pulp SF stories about galactic empires. |

I agree with nyrath. 1st story is unusually good. Liked the comic in general, and I'm sorry there weren't more published. |

Notes | Art credit according to Jim Gray "I am almost certain that the cover to Space Action 1 is by Lou Cameron; the pose of the guy throwing the punch is pure Cameron. I think it's early, before

Comic Story | Invaders from a Lost Galaxy (7.67 pages) |
Synopsis | Sirion, an outer planet, is ruled by King Stephan. King Stephan's younger brother, Karnock, makes plans to usurp the throne while the King is away battling alien invasion. Stephan sends Space Admiral Jon Lasim to investigate. Lasim falls for Stephan's daughter and is hunted by the despotic Karnock. |
Credits | Pencils: Lou Cameron | Inks: Rocco "Rocke" Mastroserio | Letters: typeset (Leroy lettering) |
Content | Genre: Science Fiction | Characters: Protector Karnock; King Stephan; Space Admiral Jon Lasim; Valya; Administrator Henderson; Ulgar |
Notes | This is positively Cameron on pencils, probably inked by Mastroserio (as was the case in Ace's horror books first half of 1952). This whole issue seems to be a Cameron-Mastroserio collaboration.
Previous indexer stated: Overstreet says Lou Cameron art in this issue, but I only see it (maybe) in a few panels in this story. |
