This totally-inaccurate cover from Fox's Science Comics #4 (1940) by Joe Simon...
...featuring characters who never appear in the strip (except for the hero) marks Cosmic Carson's only cover appearance ever!
Ah, but it's who's on the inside that counts...and for this issue, it's Jack (King) Kirby, who penciled and inked this story!
("Michel Griffith" was a Fox Comics pen-name that anybody who wrote or drew this strip used!)
Though this Cosmic Carson tale from Fox's Science Comics #4 (1940) ends on a cliffhanger, the story in the next issue neither resolves nor even mentions it, or the current plotline and characters!
Not surprising, since Kirby had been moved to other strips in the next month's production cycle.
Cosmic Carson, in and of itself, was one of the worst, most inconsistent, poorly-plotted and illustrated strips (with this one exception) in the history of comic books.
(And that's saying a lot!)
So enjoy this appearance, since it's the only one Cosmic Carson will make in any RetroBlog!
