American Update: Atomic Sci-Fi: Space Western Comics – Nazis On Mars and More!
*Charlton: …though really after a headline like that, what more do you need? Created by Walter Gibson and illustrated by Stan Campbell, Space Western Comics (1952) starred ‘Spurs Jackson and His Space Vigilantes’ as they fought the forces of evil on most planets of the Solar System and from beneath the Earth itself! A frankly lunatic hodgepodge of clashing genres, the series has achieved cult status because of the Space Vigilantes’ clash with Hitler and his Nazis on Mars, as well as some blatant plagiarism (#43’s cover being completely ripped off from a Spirit section). We have four of the six published issues available, beginning with #41, the second issue, and ending with the finale, #45. Truly must be seen to be disbelieved. Issue #41 is GD+ £80, #43 GD- £50, #44, with crescent tear off right cover edge, FA/GD £150 and #45 VG+ £195. SORRY, THESE HAVE NOW SOLD
