Reading Room JET POWERS "Metal Monsters"

After two tales with aliens, mad scientists, and no sign of Jet's arch-enemy...
...we come to the final tale in the issue, and...well, I think you can guess who...
Oddly, the previously green-skinned Mr Sinn now has the standard lemon-yellow coloring used in the 1940s and '50s for most Asian comic characters.
Illustrated by Bob Powell, these three tales from Magazine Enterprises' Jet Powers #2 (1951) cover almost every cliche of sci-fi including time travel, alien invasion, mad scientists, and robots.
The only thing they left out of this issue was space opera!
They'd get to that next issue...
