Number 1274: Babes, BEMs, and butt-kickin' heroes

After presenting Captain Tootsie yesterday I have a hankering for more of that old time science fiction. You know, the “crazy Buck Rogers stuff,” with rocketships, bug-eyed monsters and beautiful women. Oh yeah, mustn't forget the squarejawed, two-fisted hero.

We're having a theme week this week, “silly science stories,” of which this is the second of four.

These two stories are from consecutive issues of Captain Flight Comics. Rock Raymond, who looks like he just stepped out of the barber's chair (still wearing the cape around his shoulders), is from issue #10 (1945), and Red Rocket, who lives in year 2046, where people wear the same civilian clothes as they were wearing a hundred years earlier, is from issue #11. (1946).
