The first story is very strange. On its last page Space Mouse backs up his tale of escaping from captivity on Mars by pointing out the arrival of a Martian invasion fleet! Guess that's why there was never another issue.

If you look at Space Mouse's own title, you'll see there's not much consistency from story to story. Still, they're rather fun and charming anyway!

A fun comic, though the title is a little misleading. The first two stories do involve space, with Space Mouse and Super Pup; but the other two are earthbound with Peter Rabbit and Merry Mouse. Though Merry Mouse and his girlfriend do fly in a plane that looks like a rocket. The Super Pup story was particularly interesting and quite political for a kid's comic. Super Pup has to save the day when a nameless country wants to take over the Space Platform that's a jumping off spot for the moon (like an early Sky Lab or International Space Station). The baddies from the nameless country call each other Comrade and want to destroy America, so no prizes for guessing which country it is. I thought it was really interesting, given the publication date pre-Sputnik, though still thought it a little unusual in a kid's comic. Though I guess this was the McCarthy era too. I also liked the Space Mouse comic, and other two were also fine, though Peter Rabbit looked more like a cat to me. Fun kids comic with cute art, that still provides a laugh and a bit of a message.

Crash, there WAS another issue following #4 (Space Comics #5), which I have assembled, and will eventually upload to CB+, after the last story is confirmed. And QQ, Peter Rabbit's story in "Space Comics" Issue #5 DOES have him going into Outer Space, in a Spaceship (Rocketship) he was testing for a rocket manufacturer trying to get a contract wit The US Space programme. There is also a story in Avon's regular "Peter Rabbit" series that has Peter and his girlfriend, Dazy, taking a trip to another planet in the Spaceship Peter is currently testing. Maybe the space story wasn't ready for the print deadline on Issue #4, so the 2nd space-related issue that would have been used in Issue #5 if #4 had been ready, was just printed in "Peter Rabbit", as "Space Comics" was cancelled after #5. I think "Space Comics" was a continuation of "Space Mouse", after Issue #5 of that series. But "Peter Rabbit ran quite a bit after Space Comics stopped. It ran 34 issues, although the last few had mostly reprinted stories. Frank Carin was the artist for all 3 series, and was the only Funny Animal comics artist who worked directly for Avon.
