A stunning high-grade copy of one of the most unique genre mashups of the early ’50s — cowboys vs aliens, literally. This issue features a Stan Campbell cover swiped from Wally Wood’s Spirit Section (8/3/1952) and delivers a full lineup of atomic-era pulp sci-fi stories starring Spurs Jackson and his Space Rangers.
🪐 Key Stories:
“Menace of the Meteor Men” — The Army encounters living meteors in the Arizona desert.
“The Battle of Spaceman's Gulch” — Spurs hosts sci-fi fans, but real aliens crash the party.
“Beyond the Moon” — Soviet flying saucers, lunar mines, and Cold War paranoia at its best.
Plus: Mayan spaceships, pulp text features, and bonus space prospecting tales.
📖 36 pages, full color. Cover price $0.10.
📝 MAJ. PICTO’S GRADING NOTES
VF (8.0) — Excellent gloss and color strike with tight corners and clean surfaces. Minimal wear consistent with careful handling. Sharp presentation for a Pre-Code sci-fi/western hybrid that’s notoriously tough to find in high grade.
