Reading Room: SPACE ACTION "MIssion into Time"

Remember When This Happened 10 Years Ago?

...You Don't???
But, it was predicted in this tale published in the third and final issue of Ace's sci-fi anthology, Space Action (1952)!
Did they lie???

At least this tale, illustrated by Lou Cameron, offers an explanation as to why time travelers haven't come back to the past...AFAWK!

But, I find it difficult to believe the people of the future couldn't retrofit a vehicle with still-functioning (though centuries-old) technology with a control device.

Space Hero Saturdays SPACE ACTION "Invaders From a Lost Galaxy"

A "Lost Galaxy"?

Not The "Lost Galaxy"?

How many "Lost Galaxies" are out there?

And, is this one really lost, or just misplaced? ;-)

While the writer is unknown, the art for this Flash Gordon-inspired tale from Ace's Space Action #1 (1952) breaks down as pencils by Lou Cameron, inks by Rocco Mastroserio!

Here's the complete cover collection for Ace's Space Action...

Art by Lou Cameron

...which share something in common with the covers for Lost Worlds and Fantastic Worlds besides being science fiction-themed (We showed those covers HERE)!

Art by Matt Fox and/or Lou Cameron

Artist unknown

The answer?

None of the covers relate to any of the stories inside the books!

(But they're kool, eh?)

Reading Room SPACE ACTION "Prisoners of the Incredible Plants"

It's nearly the end of the week, so let's "veg out" with some mindless fun...

...like this never-reprinted tale about menacing alien plants from Ace's Space Action #2 (1952)

How else would you deal with alien plants but with defoliants and fire?

Art is by prolific journeyman Lou Cameron, the writer is unknown.

Reading Room SPACE ACTION "Prisoners on Solar"

Solar power is cheap and easy to access, right?

At least until someone takes control of the Sun (or a reasonable facsimile thereof)!

Considering that, even in the 1950s, we knew the Sun wouldn't die out for billions of years, you have to wonder when this story from Ace's Space Action #1 (1952) is set!

Apparently the unknown writer didn't know or didn't care, since no date is given.

But the art by Lou Cameron and Rocco Mastroserio shows technology only a couple of hundred of years ahead!

Go figure...

Penciled by Lou Cameron and inked by Rocco Mastroserio, this tale from Ace's Space Action #1 (1952), was typical of pulp and comic sci-fi of the era.

The writer is, mercifully, unknown.
