*Miscellaneous 1940-1959: Well, more of a Canadian Update really. Captain Rocket #1 (and only) was a Canadian venture into Atomic Sci-Fi from PL Publishing. All the trademarks are here: square-jawed heroes, slinky space gals in bikinis, space ships with rivets, ray-guns, devious and ugly aliens and the odd monster. A decent example of this much-loved genre. This is a reasonable copy with a nice cover image (small faint stain over spaceship does not detract much at all). Moderate edge wear, with a small corner off top right (see scan); lies fairly flat. Staples firm at spine and centrefold; pages are a nice white to off-white. From the Arch Collection.
