Space Force Saturdays ALIEN ENCOUNTERS "Earth Invasion"

There's a twist ending to this alien invasion tale you won't see coming...

...if you're under 35!

I'm serious!

Ah, video arcades...

Kids today have no idea how important those darkened chambers filled with video consoles and pinball machines were to us in the pre-XBox/PlayStation/Nintendo days...and how much money we spent, quarter-by-quarter, in them!

Yeah, there's still Chuck E Cheese, Dave & Busters, and their ilk, but those are kiddie venues!

Written by Larry Shell and illustrated by Steve (Swamp Thing) Bissette, this never-reprinted tale from FantaCo's Alien Encounters one-shot (1981) captures the long-lost era perfectly.

Space Force Saturdays ATOM-AGE COMBAT "Third Element"

Is This What Don (da Con) Trump had in Mind...

...when he plagiarized the concept from 1950s sci-fi to create his inane Space Force?

Illustrated by longtime comics veteran Dick Ayers and scripted by an unknown writer, this never-reprinted tale from Fago's Atom-Age Combat #3 (1959) is typical of the sci-fi of the era.

Oddly, it shows us and the (unnamed, but obviously Russkie) enemy dropping everything to unite against extraterrestrials, then agreeing to work together, with no hint of treachery, despite the fact a "Space Race" was on between Americans and Soviets to get men into space and even to the Moon ASAP!

Space Hero Saturdays MAJOR INAPAK: SPACE ACE

Buckle On Your Blaster Belts, Kiddies...

...as we hurtle through the depths of outer space (and learn invaluable scientific facts) with the one-and-only Major Inapak and kid stowaway-turned-sidekick, Robin John!
Our tale begins in the far-distant year of 2031...













Sadly, there were no further adventures of Major Inapak and Robin John/"Master Rocketeer"!

Illustrated by Bob Powell and scripted by Powell, Gardner Fox or the two in collaboration.

We presented background info about Major Inapak and Inapak Chocolate Drink  HERE and HERE!

You may note the cover doesn't have a price on it!

It wasn't sold on newsstands or in candy stores!
It was likely handed out at licensing trade shows to show merchandisers how publisher Magazine Enterprises could produce a tie-in comic with their products, just as DC and Marvel do today!
