Space Heroine Saturdays TARA "Death that Grew!"

You think COVID-19 was bad?

How about a disease created as a biological weapon, as in this never-reprinted tale illustrated by Gene Fawcette?

The writer for this never-reprinted tale from Nedor's Wonder Comics #20 (1948) is (as usual) unknown.

This was the final issue of Wonder Comics...but not then end of the adventures of the Queen of the Space Pirates!

Tara will return with a final tale from another Nedor comic as well as several illustrated text features we haven't run yet, and a cover art gallery!

Space Heroine Saturdays TARA "Secret Bride of Bharbon!"

Risking her life to protect the innocent...

...Tara (along with her pair of somewhat-merry men) continues her quest through deep space!

While the writer's credit is unknown, the art for this never-reprinted tale from Nedor's Wonder Comics #19 (1948) is by Gene Fawcette.

Space Heroine Saturdays TARA "Eight Hands of Tenslith!"

Prowling the spaceways, robbing from the rich to give to the poor...

We continue the space-spanning saga of the Queen of the Space Pirates with this tale from Nedor's Wonder Comics #17.

Art was, again, by Gene Fawcette, one of the better illustrators of the period, who usually penciled and inked his sci-fi, horror, and good-girl material (or strips that combined them like Tara) for Fiction House, Avon, and Better.

BTW, the cover for this issue features characters from the Tara story that appeared in Wonder Comics #16. 
You can see the cover, along with her second appearance HERE.

Space Heroine Saturdays TARA "Fabulous Jewel of Morn"

She's back...the female space pirate who proves...

...in the eternal void, gender is irrelevant when strategy and weaponry can triumph over brute strength!

Though this tale is in Nedor's Wonder Comics #16, the cover by Alex Schomberg during his "Xela" airbrush art period, is from the next issue...Wonder Comics #17!

The cover features both the villain and jewel from the story in #16, so we're using it here.
In fact, none of the covers featuring Tara go with the stories in their respective issues!
Weird!

Penciled and inked by Gene Fawcette.

Space Heroine Saturdays TARA "Outlaw of the Universe!"

An origin story, or as we say in comics "Who She Is and How She Came to Be"!

And it hasn't been reprinted since initial publication in Nedor's Wonder Comics #15 (1947)

Yes, I said #15, even though the cover by Alex Schomberg (aka "Xela") is from #16!

I'll explain later...

Tara continued in Wonder Comics until the book was cancelled, then popped over to fellow Nedor title Thrilling Comics for her final appearance!
You'll be seeing another chapter of her saga once a month as part of Space Heroine Saturdays!

As to why the cover for the next issue is used here:

1) the cover for #15 featured a different character.

2) The cover used on #16 actually shows a situation from this issue (#15)!
