| Comic Story | Interplanetary Murder, Inc. (10 pages) |
| Synopsis | Dr. Malik kidnaps scientist Lescoir and demands all of Earth's Lethium 45 as ransom. He blows up Mars to prove he's serious. Rocket, Sue and Punchy travel to Malik's home world of Selura. They rescue Lescoir and defeat Malik, so the people of Selura can live in freedom once more. |

| Credits | Script:? [as Ted Small] |
| Content | Genre: Science Fiction | Characters: Rocket Kelly; Punchy; Sue; Professor Lescoir; President; Sabio; Yehudi; Dr. Malik |
| Notes | The "President" is not named but looks like U.S. President Harry S. Truman. He says "millions for defense but not one cent for tribute," which was a quote by U.S. Senator Robert Goodloe Harper in reference to the 1797-8 "XYZ Affair."
Malik and Sabio had previously appeared in "Atom World of Selura" in The Bouncer (1944 series) #[10] 1944. However, Malik looks completely different here and Sabio in the earlier story was a little person, while in this story he's a giant and the little person is called Yehudi. |
