From the great pre-code comics of the forties, namely Target Comics, Basil Wolverton in Space is a must-read for fans of great retro science-fiction. Presented in glorious Black & White… Basil Wolverton’s Space stories are filled with battles with space pirates, a wide array of monsters, lovesick femme fatales, and a planetary tyrant… and of course Spacehawk!! Spacehawk is super-powerful, virtually infallible, and equipped with a neat array of technological gadgets which include a mentally-controlled spaceship. Basil Wolverton’s star-faring superhero returns along with Meteor Morgan, Jumpin’ Jupiter, Rocket Rider, Milt Archer, and Supersonic Sammy. Awesome!!

Story/Spoilers
Famous for his inimitable grotesqueries and his alliterative humor, Basil Wolverton sold his first cartoons at the Vancouver, Washington Farmers’ Market. He was 11 at the time. After an early vaudeville career and several near-misses with newspaper strips, he sold his first stories to America’s Humor in 1926. In 1938, he began comic-book work for Globe with “Spacehawks” and “Disk-Eyes” in Circus. This fat little book of classic, one-of-a-kind Basil Wolverton material collects all kinds of stories and strips featuring such bizarrely-Basil characters as Meteor Morgan, Spacehawk, Jumpin’ Jupiter, Rocket Rider, Milt Archer, and Supersonic Sammy.
