In the year 2430, Tarrano, an Earthman, has seized control of both the planet Venus and its outpost on Earth, Venia.
To that outpost, the tyrant has kidnapped Elza and Georg, children of the recently-murdered scientist, Dr Brende, along with reporter Jac Hallen.
While Tarrano plots his upcoming conquest of Earth and Mars, Georg and the captive Venusian princess Maida escape, and then aid Earth's government in planning a pre-emptive attack on Venia.
Meanwhile, back with the captive Jac and Elza...
Based on the novel Tarrano the Conqueror by Ray Cummings, this final chapter of the 1951 comic adaptation was penciled by Carmine Infantino and inked by Vince Alascia.
The writer of the adaptation is unknown.

You Think You Know All About the Newest Marvel Cinematic Universe Hero?

Space Force Saturdays SPACE WORLDS "Midnight Horror"

Our final story from Space Squadron/Space Worlds features yet another scheme by Edgar Revere...
....the strip's resident cowardly Baltar/Dr Smith-type and son of esteemed Space Squadron commander Blast Revere!
Ignore the fact that outer space itself is a vacuum, so the Earth couldn't leave a "vacuum trail", and the story's quite entertaining!
Sadly, Edgar never received his just desserts in the strip.
Illustrated by Allen Bellman, this never-reprinted tale from Atlas' Space Worlds #6 (1952) was the final adventure of the Space Squadron before they jetted off into publishing limbo.
Next week: we've run out of stories from Speed Carter: SpaceMan and Space Squadron, but there's still a gallery of kool covers from both series that you'll see next week, along with info about what will follow in the Saturday posting slot!

CoronaVirus Comics Reading Room UNCANNY TALES "Cure"

Sometimes solving the puzzle of a pandemic is worse than the disease itself...
...as this never-reprinted tale set in the then-future year of 1976 from Atlas' Uncanny Tales #45 (1956) demonstrates!
It should be pointed out that the "common cold" virus, though known to mankind since 1600 BC, has never been known to affect any other, non-human species!
