Space Hero Saturdays PLANET COMICS "Fero: Planet Detective"

This Halloween Season, We Give You the Truth about a Major Threat to Humanity!
We thought now is the right time to reveal the awesome secret about vampires and werewolves kept from humanity for centuries!
They're from Pluto!
Really!
While Fero did return in the next issue of Planet Comics, the "vampires and werewolves from Pluto" plotline didn't!
In fact, Fero was, without explanation, now an "interplanetary detective" in a future version of New York City, and stayed there for the remainder of his four-issue run.
This premiere appearance in Fiction House's Planet Comics #5 (1940) is credited to "Allison Brant", a pseudonym used by writer/artist Al Bryant who did almost 400 comics stories during his decade-long career.

Reading Room: PLANET COMICS "Fero: Interplanetary Detective and the Kidnapped Councilman's Daughter"

When we first met him, Fero battled scientific menaces on present-day (1940s) Earth.
As of his next appearance, without explanation, he's set in the far future!
This never-reprinted tale from Fiction House's Planet Comics #6 (1940) was written and illustrated by Al Bryant under the pen-name "Allison Brant".
The change in venue from present to future without any in-story explanation (not even a caption like "returing from the past to the 21st Century..." or some-such) seems odd considering the same writer/artist is doing this follow-up tale.
