Space Force Saturday SPACE SQUADRON "Attack from Deep Space!"
Before Speed Carter: SpaceMan, Atlas' resident space hero was Jet Dixon...
I'm still waiting for my flying car, much less interplanetary travel...
This premiere story from Space Squadron #1 was illustrated by George Tuska who later became the final artist on the original Buck Rogers comic strip (1959-67) and then assumed the art duties for almost a decade on Marvel's Invincible Iron Man!
The writer is unknown, but the scripting is clearly far more simplistic and juvenile-oriented than Speed Carter a couple of years later!

Friday Fun / Humor in a Jugular Vein CRAZY "Frank N. Stein"
For the Halloween season, we're gonna tickle your funny bone...
...with a bunch of rarely (if ever) reprinted horror-themed humor strips from the 1950s!
If imitation is "the sincerest form of flattery", then Atlas Comics was easily the most sincere company in comics with no less than four MAD / PANIC imitations; Crazy, Riot, Snafu, and Wild between 1953 and 1956!
Besides humor specialists like Dan DeCarlo, the sheer volume of Atlas humor titles gave the opportunity for artists who usually did Westerns or horror or sci-fi to expand their range, like this tale illustrated (and possibly written) by veteran Bill Everett, who proved more than up to the task with this spoof from Crazy V1N1 (1953).
Note: Marvel reincarnated the Crazy title several times over the decades including a long-running b/w MAD-style magazine in the 70s-80s.
