COMICS FROM OUTER SPACE (PART 6)


We have the so-called "space race" to thank for the hundreds of science-fiction comics that were published in the fifties and into the early sixties. As soon as we learned that man was going to the moon, suddenly our imagination soared into the limitless. Would we ever get there? Would we ever get further? Would we find life in outer space, on other planets? This, the first of the nine-issue run of Dell's SPACE MAN series is written by Ken Fitch and illustrated by Jack Sparling aims to give readers one perspective, but it's a little more unexpected than you might think. Don't forget to check out the cool space-age glossary on the inside front cover!
