Here's the re-titled and re-illustrated, but not re-written (except for the opening caption) 1970s version!
You'll note the rich Martian and his adopted Venusian daughter are much more "alien" here than in the 1950s art.
In addition, the ship, technology, and clothing are more in line with late-1960s/early 1970s visualizations of such things.
(No more capes and other fashion elements so prevalent in Alex Raymond's Flash Gordon!)

Sadly, artist Antonio Reynoso's storytelling style isn't quite as sharp as original artist Everett Raymond Kinstler's, with the captions covering story elements the artist doesn't quite get across in this story from Eerie Publications' Weird V6N1 (1972).
As in the case of the vast majority of Eerie Publications' comic magazines, all the stories in this issue were either direct reprints of 1950s comic stories or redrawn (and re-titled) versions of 1950s comic stories.
Remember, at that time, there was no Grand Comics Database...or even a World Wide Web the average reader could access to figure out where the stories, from defunct publishers, originally-appeared!
Nor were there even reference books (like the one conveniently-listed below) which contained such minutia for the serious aficionado of graphic arts!
