Space-Hero Saturdays CAPTAIN MIDNIGHT "...Battles the Ice Age"

Though World War II was Over, Captain Midnight Continued Protecting People...

...no matter where they were...including Outer Space!






Remember this story was written in 1948 for kids.
The average adult, much less a child, knew little about nuclear radiation.
All the typical reader understood about atomic bombs was their sheer destructive power and that they generated incredible heat!
(Somewhat) instructional films like Duck & Cover...
...were still several years in the future!
Without an ongoing foe, the "Sentinel of the Spaceways" had a series of one-shot adventures involving alien races, and Earth colonies on other worlds, as shown in this story illustrated by Leonard Frank from Fawcett's Captain Midnight #59 (1948)!

Friday Holiday Fun OSWALD THE RABBIT "Prehistoric Egg" Conclusion

We Have Already Seen...

...actually, we haven't see this yet...but we're about to, as Doc Weskit is called upon by a couple of Amazons to help stop a civil war!











All together now...
IT WAS JUST A DREAM!
Written by John Stanley, illustrated by Dan Gormley, it didn't make a whole lot of sense!
But, you can't deny it was fun!
