American Update: Atomic Sci-Fi: Space Detective
*Miscellaneous 1940-1959: Two of the fours issue run of Avon’s Space Detective, #2 & #4. In the far future, wealthy young philanthropist Rod Hathaway is secretly the Avenger, Space Detective and his secretary Dot becomes his sidekick Teena. Issue #2 has Batwomen of Mercury, Metal Marauders of Mars and Slave Ships of Saturn, ray-guns, space-ships, slave auctions, sultry sirens — everything you could want from an Atomic Science-Fiction title with art by Wally Wood (cover and interior layouts) and Joe Orlando. #4 has much the same fare, but with less distinguished art. #2 is very low grade, with a detached and re-taped cover and chipped edges; #4 is in better shape with upper and lower spine splits and cover creasing.
