Space Hero Saturdays LANCE LEWIS: SPACE DETECTIVE "Amoeba Men of Saturn"

Another Golden Age interstellar private eye joins our feature...
...as he meets the first of two alien races who will become his arch-foes, and rescues the woman who will become his constant...(ahem)...friend and companion!
Referred to as both "Saturnians" and "Amoeba Men", these aliens would return to wage a full-scale interplanetary war with Earth.
This story from Nedor/Standard's Mystery Comics #4 (1944) was Lance's second appearance ever.
Both the writer and artist are currently unknown, even to the Grand Comic Database.
Since Mystery Comics was cancelled as of #4, Lance moved over to Startling Comics, where he became the cover feature from his premiere in #44 to the book's demise as of #53.
Several years after this series ended, an unrelated Space Detective series written by Walter (The Shadow) Gibson with art by Wally Wood and Joe Orlando ran in its own title at Avon Comics.
