Space...Hero? Saturdays WEIRD TALES OF THE FUTURE "Jumpin' Jupiter and the Strange Case of Gzink Bfnxpp!"

Perhaps the very antithesis of a "Space Hero"...

...Basil Wolverton's Jumpin' Jupiter strip constantly shows us why he shouldn't be among such august company!

This never-reprinted feature from Key's Weird Tales of the Future #3 (1952) is a classic example of Wolverton's...unique...sense of humor and his absolutely-superb design and illustration abilities!

Space...Hero? Saturdays WEIRD TALES OF THE FUTURE "Jumpin' Jupiter 'In Space No One Can Hear You Laugh' "

If you thought Jumpin' Jupiter's first story was weird...

..his third appearance from Weird Tales of the Future #4 (1953) is gonna make you plotz!

Whether it's his ongoing SpaceHawk and Space Patrol strips or any of the numerous one-shot tales he did, Wolverton's Golden Age output was always instantly-recognizable!
The humor strip ran in #2 thru #5 of Key Publications' Weird Tales of the Future, along with several serious sci-fi/horror one-shot stories also written and illustrated by the amazing Basil!
And, yes, we'll get to the second tale, along with the fourth (and final) one...in the future! (Where else?)
