Reading Room UNEARTHLY SPECTACULARS "Saucerer"

The 1960s were a weird period in comics (and pop culture in general)...
...as this camp-fest from the "Swinging Sixties" amply demonstrates!
BTW, could you guess that the creators were both middle-aged guys whose exposure to "rock-n-roll" was through their kids (more likely, their grand-kids)?
Yep!
Written by long-time sci-fi and comics author Otto Binder (born 1911), and illustrated by Golden and Silver Age artist Carl Pfeufer (born 1910), this never-reprinted two-pager appeared in the back of Harvey's Unearthly Spectaculars #3 (1967)!.
In point of fact, most Silver Age creators were 40 (or over)!
In comparison, today's comic creators are mostly in their 20s and early 30s...and judging from their output, I'm wondering if that's such a good thing...
