Reading Room: RACE FOR THE MOON "Space Garbage"

Here's a tale that could be considered a "Space Western"...
...though it's actually from Race to the Moon #3 in 1958, several years after Space Western Comics folded.
Prospectors, claim jumpers, gunmen, fist-fights, a "frontier" town...
Seems like a Western in space to me...
Art by two legends in the field; Jack Kirby and Al Williamson.

Why can't we tax the rich?
Why can't we tax corporations?

Cowboys & Aliens...the 1950s Comic Book version!

Click on the art to enlarge
Long before the new movie Cowboys and Aliens, extraterrestrials and cowpokes did battle on Earth and in space!
Read the tale that predates the new movie by fifty years, starring Buster Crabbe (Flash Gordon / Buck Rogers), and illustrated by not one, not two, but three of the greatest sci-fi artists of the 1950s (Frank Frazetta, Al Williamson, and Roy Krenkel), only at our "brother" blog Western Comics Adventures™!

Reading Room: SPURS JACKSON "Meet the Menace of Comet X"

With Cowboys & Aliens opening tomorrow, we once again travel back to the 1950s, when four-color cowpokes journeyed into space on a bi-monthly basis...
"Scientific accuracy!  We don't need no scientific accuracy!"
The appropriately-titled blog Awesomer Than Thou details the many, many goofs of this story!

With the re-introduction of Korok and Vodor, there were obviously plans to make them ongoing baddies.
Unfortunately, Space Western Comics only had one issue to go before reverting to Cowboy Western Comics! (with one final appearance by Korok and Vodor!)
