ALIEN HORROR HAUNTS THE MOORS!


THE MAN FROM PLANET X
Fawcett Movie Comic No. 15
February, 1952
Fawcett Publications
Editor: B.J. Heyman
Art Editor: Al Jetter
Cover: Photo cover
Pages: 36
Cover price: 10 cents

Clump! Clump! Clump! Here comes The Man From Planet X! One of the eeriest, atmospheric science-fiction movies to come out of the 50's was this quirky little gem. It's surprising that it got a comic book adaptation when so many others didn't.

The script is by Otto Binder from the screenplay by Aubrey Wisberg and Jack Pollexfen and the art is by the Golden Age great, Kurt Schaffenberger. The lettering is by Charlotte Jetter who also worked for Charlton, DC and Marvel.
