Reading Room: SPACE ACTION "Beware the Human Meteorites"

C'mon, a title like that is a real attention-grabber...
...and the story is equally-funky, once you get past the whole "medieval garb" thing that invariably crops up in comic sci-fi of the era.

So the "human meteorites" are, in essence, flaming space zombies?
Dumb, but cool!
Here's a trivial (but pertinent) question: Why don't other Jovians have pointed ears, like Deuel?
Aren't they the same species?
Art for this never-reprinted story from Ace's Space Action #3 (1953) is by Bill Molno, the writer is unknown.

Co-writer Bruce Spaulding Fuller takes over the art from Greg Capullo, going even gorier than the original card set!

Space Hero Saturdays CAPTAIN MIDNIGHT "Moon Creatures!"

...and yes, it was a little longer than we intended between posts.
Sorry about that.
Luckily, the author can fill you in on what you may have forgotten...
Now, let's continue...
With this conclusion of the "Moon Expedition" two-parter from Fawcett's Captain Midnight #50 (1947), Captain Midnight became a full-fledged Space Hero, with an off-Earth adventure (usually cover-featured) in almost every issue until the end of his Golden Age run.
There were still occasional down-to-earth criminals and saboteurs, but extraterrestrials became the primary foes of the Sovereign of the Skies!
Next Week:
Witness as the Least-Likely Multi-Media Hero of All Journeys into Space!
You'll Never Guess Who!
