Space Force Saturdays SPEED CARTER "Kiss of Death"

In the 21st Century, servicemen on furlough still do what they did in the 20th Century...
...except, maybe, for the dagger?

This never-reprinted story of futuristic male/female relations from Speed Carter: SpaceMan #6 (1954) was scripted (as were all Speed Carter tales) by Hank Chapman, and illustrated (as were all Speed Carter tales in #6) by Bob Forgione.

You'll note that Forgione uses original artist Joe Maneely's designs for the Speed Carter universe, which previous artists Mike Sekowsky (#4) and George Tuska (#5) ignored in their issues.
In fact, Forgione tries to match Maneely's rendering style...and does a fair job of it.
It's a shame this was Speed's final issue.
