Reading Room: SUPERSNIPE & ULYSSES Q WACKY "Jap Trap"

SuperSnipe may have headlined his own title...
...but the supporting cast also merited their own ongoing strips, which guest-starred Koppy McFad both in and out of costume!
(BTW, despite the story title, there's no NSFW racist depictions in this tale, just racist attitudes!)
Koppy and his supporting characters tended to crossover a lot in these tales, giving the stories a nice "unified universe" feel unique in the Golden Age.
Story and art for this tale from SuperSnipe Comics V1N6 (1942) by George Marcoux, who did all the "SuperSnipe Universe" strips including this one, Gramp, and, of course, SuperSnipe himself!

Problems with Blogger and Picasa

Due to Google forcing us to use a new, and extremely-buggy version of the Blogger interface and new problems with Google's usually-reliable Picasa photo-editing software, we're unable to post our scheduled story today.
Sorry.

Reading Room: SPACE RANGERS "Operation PLUTO"

We continue the scientifically-silly adventures of the Space Rangers...
...with a tale from Space Adventures #2 (1952) that, even in the 1950s, didn't make sense!
You'll note the Space Rangers are now referred to as "Space Officers".
We're not certain why, since tv's Rocky Jones: Space Ranger didn't debut for another two years, and DC Comics' Space Ranger didn't appear until 1958, so it's not a trademark or copyright problem!
For whatever reason, the "Space Officers" moniker will remain for the duration of the series.
This tale from Charlton's Space Adventures #2 (1952) was illustrated by Art Cappello, who followed Al Fago & Lou Morales' costume and character designs.
The writer is unknown.
