UFO Flying Saucers – UFO & Outer Space              Comics Lot
Gold Key Comics (1968-1980) Complete 25 issue Series

According to this series, the term “flying saucer” was first used in 1947. By the early seventies (when this series was published) flying saucers were all the rage. At times it seemed every time a small-town local would go for a walk, they’d have a “close encounter” with space aliens.

UFO Flying Saucers recounted scores of these alien and UFO (“Unidentified Flying Object”) sightings. Often, the stories would take great care to point out the corroboration of the story, or the impeccable reputation of the person reporting the sighting. The series even went so far as to suggest Biblical tales might have had their origin in alien encounters. In an attempt to give some balance, however, it also ran a debunking column entitled “The Hoaxmaster Knows and Tells All,” which recounted various UFO scams over the years.

Series continued from UFO Flying Saucers #13. With issue #14, this series became UFO & Outer Space. Series continues as UFO & Outer Space issue starting with issue #14 and ends with issue #25.

After a six-month hiatus, Gold Key’s UFO Flying Saucers returned in mid-1978 as UFO & Outer Space. Early issues reprinted the Gold Key series, right down to the covers. Beginning with issue #17, however, they brought out new stories of close encounters with aliens and other strange phenomena. This lasted until issue #25 in 1980, a reprint issue which also marked the end of the series. By that time, America’s obsession with UFO-related phenomena had calmed from its mid-seventies peak.
