But, the creature has some hidden surprises...

Oh, wait...I did say it...)

Lunar Reading Room: RACE FOR THE MOON "Thing on Sputnik 4"
Now That Aretmis II has Safely Returned...
...let's look at a tale created during early days of space travel, before Man had made it beyond the stratosphere, when we had NO idea of what awaited us "out there", but it was so kool to speculate...
From Harvey's Race for the Moon #2 (1958).
Beautifully-rendered by Jack Kirby and Marvin Stein.
It's both amazing and depressing to see what we hoped to achieve in the (then) near-future

Space Hero & Heroine Saturdays ASTONISHING "Menace from the Moon!"
Congratulation to the Artemis Crew for a Successful and Safe Trip to the Moon and Back!
But what if something had happened while they were on the Far Side, totally out of communication with Earth?
OK, this tale from Atlas' Astonishing #5 (1951), written by Hank Chapman and illustrated by Cal Massey is a tad silly.
They claim the ship was lost five years earlier, yet speculate the crew was still alive and coming home?
C'mon, even a kid in the 1950s would find that concept...well...DUMB!!!
(And that's being polite!)

Friday Fun SPACE MOUSE "Reservation to the Moon!"
Sometimes the heroic Space Mouse ventured into outer space to fight menaces...
...sometimes the menaces commuted to Earth!
And, sometimes, very rarely, there is no menace...just misunderstood alien visitors!
Writer/artist Frank Carin told this never-reprinted tale of misinterpreted Moon-people motives in Avon's Peter Rabbit #31 (1956)!

Reading Room AMAZING ADVENTURES OF BUSTER CRABBE COMICS "Science Lore"
Who says comics ain't educational?
One and two-page featurettes, based on the science known at the time, offer fascinating insight into the mindset of the sci-fi/comics writers and what info they had to work with!
This never-reprinted, Pete Morisi-illustrated piece from Lev Gleason's Amazing Adventures of Buster Crabbe #3 (1954) is typical of the era, except for the fact all the spaceship designs, combining real and fictional vessels are from different eras!
Among them are a Mongo warship from the Flash Gordon comic strip, a ship from the movies Destination Moon and/or Conquest of Space, and what's described as a "WAC Corporal", but is rendered as a German V-2!
