We like the kool names Space Heroes have!
Buck!
Flash!
Brick!
Barney!
BARNEY???
Yes!
For two issues in 1950, there was a Space Hero named "Barney"!
And, he was a futuristic "space detective", like Lance Lewis and Space Detective/Avenger)!
Note: the pages are damaged, likely by insects, and we're presenting them despite that due to the historical value of the story!

Cover-featured in his very first appearance in Eastern Color's Famous Funnies #191 (1950), Barney Carr: Space Detective didn't do much actual detecting.
He was too busy being a typical square-jawed, two-fisted, ray gun-wielding action hero, kicking alien butt!
Unlike the other features in Famous Funnies, Barney Carr wasn't a reprinted newspaper strip, but an original series!
It only appeared once more, before disappearing into the void, but original art for a third story exists, without any captions or word balloons!
You'll be seeing both of them in the future!
