Space Hero Saturdays CAPTAIN KEN BRADY: ROCKET PILOT "Boy Who Wasn't There!"

We met Captain Ken Brady and his co-pilot-sidekick Buzzy HERE...

...in his premiere appearance, conceived and produced by the co-creator of Superman and the definitive Bronze Age artist of Dracula!

This tale from Ziff-Davis' Lars of Mars #11 (1951) was written by Jerry Siegel and illustrated by Gene Colan.
It's both the character's second (and last) appearance and the second (and last issue) of the comic!
While the series isn't anything particularly innovative, it's a classic example of 1950s-style sci-fi.
And Gene, who was doing a little of everything from horror to romance to Westerns, showed his versatility with this too-brief strip's run.

Space Hero Saturdays CAPTAIN KEN BRADY: ROCKET PILOT "Pirates of the Airways!"

If you look carefully, you can find a Space Hero almost anywhere...

...even someone who's a spacegoing FedEx driver, as shown in this story from the co-creator of Superman and the definitive artist of Dracula!

This back-up tale about a cargo-ship pilot and his buddy just doin' their jobs from Ziff-Davis' Lars of Mars #10* (1951) was written by Jerry (Superman) Siegel and illustrated by Gene (Tomb of Dracula) Colan.

*Though it's number "10", this was actually the first issue of Lars of Mars.

We're not sure which other Ziff-Davis title's numbering this run continues from.
