Friday Fun TRAGG AND THE SKY GODS "Attack of the Man-Apes" Part 1

Let's see how our ancient ancestors are dealing with the daily problems of...
...aliens and dinosaurs!
Written by Don Glut and illustrated by Dan Spiegle, this never-reprinted tale from Gold Key's Tragg and the Sky Gods #5 (1976) introduces another group of proto-humans even less advanced than the Neanderthal tribe Tragg and Lorn were exiled from!

Reading Room SPACE SQUADRON "Menace of the Martians"

What happens when a strip ignores it's own backstory...
...and changes an entire race's history for no reason at all?
This never-reprinted story from Atlas' Space Squadron #4 (1951) contradicted the Space Squadron #1 tale that introduced Max in several ways; most notably, that Martians, who were as advanced as Earthers, are now simply savage beings who wish to slay anything living that's not them!
There's no reason I can think of, except that the unknown writer was new and unfamiliar with the series!

Reading Room SPACE SQUADRON "General Alfred Hastings: Pioneer of the Elekoicer!"

With a series set in the year 2000...
...it's not surprising it's early history occured in the 1960s!
Of course, it was the 1960s as seen from 1951!
You have to admire the innocent optimism that would have us performing such advanced space travel in only nine years...
Neither the writer nor artist(s) for this never-reprinted tale from Atlas' Space Squadron #2 (1951) are known.
The Famous Explorers of Space feature ran in all five issues of Space Squadron and the single issue of Space Worlds that used up material left homeless when Space Squadron was cancelled.

Reading Room SPACE SQUADRON "Target Moon"

To close out the year, we're re-presenting never-reprinted adventures 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!
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!
