American Eagles (All Three of Them)!

Last week, we told the story of a hero called American Eagle...three times on three blogs!
...then at Hero Histories™, we introduced the Golden Age SuperHero...
...finally, the WWII Native American aviator created during the Silver Age in War: Past, Present & Future™!
It was a fun project, and you should keep an eye out on the RetroBlogs™ for another themed cross-posting...soon.

Land-Line repaired, and we're back with a new week of RetroBlogs™ fun!

The land-line is fixed and we're back to posting.
This week...
features a week of Masked Heroes, including a few we've never presented before!
But don't worry, the Original Ghost Rider will appear before the week is out!

Reading Room: SPACE RANGERS "Mad-Man of Mars"

In the '50s you couldn't swing a dead Slime-Cat without hitting an interplanetary policeman...
...so here's the first appearance of Charlton's contribution to the mayhem from Space Adventures #1 (1952)!
At this point, they're called "Space Rangers", but that won't last long.
In #2, the leader, Rex Clive takes top billing on the strip, which is retitled "Rex Clive and His Space Officers".
Then it becomes just "Rex Clive" until it's final appearance in #7.
Ironically, as of #15, Space Adventures began a new strip adapting a hot new tv show...Rocky Jones: Space Ranger!
I don't think Rex Clive would've found that turn of events amusing...
Illustrated by Lou Morales.
The writer is unknown.
And yes, Space Rangers/Space Officers/whatever will be joining Space Squadron and the Space Sentinels in the Reading Room.
