Reading Room: SPACE PATROL "Stranded on the Sands of Mars"
Spacehawk wasn't Basil Wolverton's only sci-fi comic series...
...he also created and produced this strip, which was the first of numerous unrelated series in various media to use the title "Space Patrol", including three different TV series!
I'd love to see someone animate these classics of surreal storytelling.

Reading Room: "Prison Planet"
One of the oldest plots in fiction is "hero fakes going bad"...
...so why not try to "freshen it" by transposing the concept to outer space?
Both the writer and artist(s) for this one-off tale from Ziff-Davis' Crusader from Mars #2 (1952) are unknown.
Neither Jon Barrett nor this version of Space Police ever re-appeared.
