Reading Room: "Prison Planet"

One of the oldest plots in fiction is "hero fakes going bad"...
...so why not try to "freshen it" by transposing the concept to outer space?
The writer for this one-off tale from the back of Ziff-Davis' Crusader from Mars #2 (1952) is unknown.
The Grand Comics Database lists Marvin Stein as the artist, but if it is Stein, he had a lot of layout assistance from his Simon & Kirby studiomates, including Joe Simon and Jack Kirby!
Neither Jon Barrett nor this version of Space Police ever re-appeared.
