Well, at least they used classic Silver Age art! (But why did they screw up The Atom's costume colors?)

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.
