American Update: Atomic Sci-Fi! Charlton’s Outer Space and Space Adventures (with the first comics appearance of Rocky Jones, Space Ranger!)
*Charlton: Like every publisher, Charlton Comics was caught up in the frenzy of the Space Race, with its two most prominent titles being Outer Space and Space Adventures. Outer Space #17 has an unexpected and rather spiffy Williamson/Wood story, while #21 presents more tales of daring in deep space. Meanwhile, companion title Space Adventures dipped its toe into the world of media adaptations, devoting the pages of #15 to ‘Rocky Jones, Space Ranger’, a TV series starring Richard Crane. What was the ‘most vital subject of our times’ addressed on the cover of Outer Space #17? Why, you owe it to yourself to buy and read the issue!
