Editor Jerry Siegel wanted Space Busters to look more like...
... the recently-revamped and revitalized Buck Rogers strip!
But artist Marvin Stein ended up using the original Buck strip as reference in his tryout, and lost the gig!
With a looming deadline, Siegel contacted the Buck Rogers strip's artist, Murphy Anderson (who had recently left the series) to provide redesigns...
...as well as the cover-featured story!
(Note: the cover is by Allen Anderson...no relation to Murphy!)
Personally, I'm not crazy about the purple-red color scheme, but at least it matches the uniform on the cover.
