Thr trio proceed to a nearby war-ravaged city where survivors identify a photo of Dan as the "troublemaker" who caused the devastation...

To quote a certain Corellian smuggler and rogue:

"I have a bad feeling about this..."

Reading Room ATOM-AGE COMBAT "Puzzle"

Besides tales of the US and USSR fighting World War III...

...Atom-Age Combat featured tales of combat versus aliens on other worlds, as well!

Note: the last page was the inside back cover of the comic, so it's just black-and-white.

Illustrated by Dick Ayers, this tale from Fago's Atom-Age Combat #3 (1959) touches on an interesting idea.

Someone's keeping us from leaving Earth...but they're also keeping others from approaching Earth!

Were they protecting us from them...or them from us?

Since this was the final tale in the final issue of the series, we'll never know the answer...

BTW, this was the second series called "Atom-Age Combat"!

The first was published by St John Comics with five issues in 1952-53 and a one-shot in 1958.

Fago Publications bought the title when St John dropped it's comic line, continuing the numbering from the one-shot and producing two issues.

Fago itself only lasted from 1958-59.
