Kid, I was surprised to find out how many comics of the 1950s were about travelling in outer space. A decade later that was rare. And it’s great to see the early work of August including Steve Ditko in these old books. We are talking about Comics nearly 70 years old!
Maybe readers were more interested in the subject of space travel when it was still a fantasy, BP. Once it became a reality (man on the Moon), it perhaps lost its shine. Good to see some early Ditko art.
Kids born and raised in the 1960s and later could not remember a time when astronauts and space travel were strictly the stuff of science fiction. So they took it for granted.
We're of the same mind on the matter, TC.
