Space Hero Saturdays SPACEHAWK "Ghost Star" & "Black Horde"

Yes, we know it's a day late...

...but this post has an "April Fools Day" element to it!

Can you guess what it is?
Have you figured it out yet?
Here's the conclusion..

This two-part, never-reprinted feature from Novelty's Target Comics V1N7 and V1N8 (1940) isn't a half-bad space-opera tale.
So what's the "April Fools" aspect, you ask?
It's not written or illustrated by Basil Wolverton!

It's scripted by Bob Davis under the pen name "Stockbridge Winslow", and rendered by an artist with the initials "H R" aka Harry Ramsey!
Davis wrote a number of text features about Novelty Publication's ongoing characters besides SpaceHawk, including White Streak, Chameleon, Sub-Zero Man, and Dick Cole...despite never working on any of the actual strips!
Since Wolverton had nothing to do with this two-parter, none of the numerous SpaceHawk reprint comics, trade paperbacks or hardcovers have ever re-published these tales!
Unless you have the actual original comics in some form, you readers are the first to see them in almost 83 years!
No need to thanks us!

A different Space Hero will thrill you with an astounding astral adventure...

Friday Fun UNCANNY TALES "Day to Remember"

This never-reprinted story from Atlas' Uncanny Tales #40 (1956) takes place on April 1st.

Why is that important?

Read and see!

Written by Carl Wessler and illustrated by John Severin, it's an all-but-forgotten piece of comics lore that we enjoyed hunting for, finding and presenting to you!
It's sorta our "thing"!

Happy April Fools Day!

Reading Room FANTASTIC WORLDS "Cosmic Terror"

Some say space opera is just a Western with ray guns instead of six-shooters...

...but this never-reprinted tale from Standard's Fantastic Worlds #6 (1952) is a Cold War tale with aliens instead of Communists!

Though the scripter is unknown, the artwork is by Art Saaf, who had a long career in comics from the mid-1940s to the mid 1970s, doing everything from romance to horror to sci-fi to superheroes!
