Here's the only major 1950s multi-media space hero we haven't covered...
...so we're intoducing him to you with his first appearance in his second comic series!
So, let's join Tom and the crew of the Space Academy ship Polaris...
Besides being the longest-running tv/radio show of the genre (six years), Tom Corbett had the longest run of any of the tv series comics adaptations...fifteen issues with two different publishers!
The second series was published by Prize Comics and packaged (as were a number of Prize titles of the period) by the Simon & Kirby studio.
The series' primary artist was Mort Meskin, but there are apparently other artists doing layouts and inking including Jack Kirby himself, and Steve Ditko (who was just starting out).
This tale from Prize Comics' V2N1 (1955) was penciled by Meskin and inked by several different artists.
Trivia: the TV series is one of only a half-dozen shows to have appeared on all four major networks (ABC, CBS, NBC, and DuMont) during its' first run!
