Space Force Saturdays SPACE SQUADRON "Target Moon"

Once more, we join the all-American heroes (and alien allies) of...

...showing life in the early 21st Century as seen from the mid-20th Century!
1) Why wasn't the creature vaporized?
2) If it isn't dead after a direct hit by an atomic bomb, how do we know it won't reproduce before it dies?
3) What about radiation?
At the very least, the Space Squadron should all be sterile, if not dying of radiation poisoning!
Hope Blast isn't counting on grandchildren in his future!
4) Considering, in this future, we've populated the Solar System (as well as other systems), I can't believe we don't have one (or more) moonbases already in operation!
Are they in danger from radiation?

The author of this amazingly scientifically-illiterate tale from Atlas' Space Squadron #4 (1951) is unknown, but we do know the penciler is Werner Roth!

Friday Fun / Easter Reading Room EASTER WITH MOTHER GOOSE "Buddy Bunny's Problem"

Here's a kool short story by Walt (Pogo) Kelly...
...about the Easter Bunny bringing his son into the family business!
This story from Dell's Four Color Comics #103: Easter with Mother Goose (1946) was written and illustrated by Walt Kelly, whose signature series Pogo wouldn't debut for another three years.
Trivia:
While Pogo as a stand-alone series began in 1949, various characters including Pogo himself and Albert the Alligator had appeared as supporting characters in other Walt Kelly-written and drawn strips since 1941.

Reading Room WEIRD ADVENTURES "Amazing Prophecies"

Can you guess how many of these predictions from 1951 have come true?
Answer:
NONE!
The unknown writer and artist of this never-reprinted one-pager from Ziff-Davis' Weird Adventures #10 (1951) were hoping for a Jetson-esque future that still hasn't occurred 70 years later!
BTW, despite the numbering, this was the one-and-only issue of the title!

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder LOST WORLD "For Sale...One Planet, Used!"

The Lost World Holds Many Mysteries...
...such as why the Venusians in this story are nothing like the ones seen several months ago...as shown HERE!
Minor note: the Asteroid Belt is between Mars and Jupiter, so how could the Venusians claim it belongs to them?
I'm beginning to wonder if "Thorncliffe Herrick" passed high school science!
As mentioned earlier, the Venusians' previous visit to Earth showed them to be vastly-different in appearance as well as enemies of the VoltaMen!
