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.
