Reading Room MANHUNTER 2070 "Planet of Death" Part 1

...today we jump feet-first into the world a mere 55 years hence...
...or vice-versa, as we will see
Written and pencilled by Mike Sekowsky, inked by Vince Colletta, this never-reprinted tale from DC's Showcase V1#91 (1970) proves the adage that "space opera" is "horse opera" with blasters instead of six-shooters.
Trivia: The "Bridwell Space Drive" was named after longtime DC editorial staffer/writer E Nelson Bridwell, one of the earliest fan-turned-pros with an encyclopedic knowledge of comics and sci-fi, and a talent for plotting stories and tying them into existing continuity.
Bridwell also co-created the Inferior Five and Secret Six.
