Yes, we know it's a day late...
...but this post has an "April Fools Day" element to it!
Can you guess what it is?
Have you figured it out yet?
Here's the conclusion..
Have you figured it out yet?
Here's the conclusion..
This two-part, never-reprinted feature from Novelty's Target Comics V1N7 and V1N8 (1940) isn't a half-bad space-opera tale.
So what's the "April Fools" aspect, you ask?
It's not written or illustrated by Basil Wolverton!
So what's the "April Fools" aspect, you ask?
It's not written or illustrated by Basil Wolverton!
It's scripted by Bob Davis under the pen name "Stockbridge Winslow", and rendered by an artist with the initials "H R" aka Harry Ramsey!
Davis wrote a number of text features about Novelty Publication's ongoing characters besides SpaceHawk, including White Streak, Chameleon, Sub-Zero Man, and Dick Cole...despite never working on any of the actual strips!
Since Wolverton had nothing to do with this two-parter, none of the numerous SpaceHawk reprint comics, trade paperbacks or hardcovers have ever re-published these tales!
Unless you have the actual original comics in some form, you readers are the first to see them in almost 83 years!
No need to thanks us!
