Here's a tale combining sci-fi with the "present day" West...
...from the back of Atlas' Venus Comics featuring the art of a future major Silver Age Marvel artist!
The parents weren't questioned as to where their son went after he failed to show up for school...ever again?
"Well, officer, Toby went into space with a bunch of extraterrestrials, but they promised they'd bring him back.
It's OK!
We gave him permission..."
We gave him permission..."
The writer of this somewhat silly story from Atlas' Venus #12 (1951) is unknown, but the artist is Gene Colan, best known to Marvel fans as one of the definitive artists on Silver and Bronze Age titles like Daredevil, Iron Man, and Dracula!
