This Rex Dexter adventure truly goes where no space hero has gone before...
...battling interplanetary zombies!
This terrifying tale by creator/writer/artist Dick (Frankenstein) Briefer is from Fox's Mystery Men Comics #21 (1941)!
Rex Dexter of Mars was an ongoing feature in Fox Features' anthology Mystery Men Comics, which featured Rex, the original Blue Beetle, and The Green Mask, among others.
It's possible Rex was the first comic character to have his origin revised/altered within a year of his premiere!
HERE'S his origin (and premiere) in Mystery Men Comics #1 (1939).
And HERE and HERE is the expanded/revised/somewhat contradictory new origin tale, from the one-shot Rex Dexter of Mars comic from 1940...a year later!
(To make things even weirder, his first origin tale was reprinted in the Rex Dexter of Mars comic...starting the next page after the revised origin!)
