“The First Man on Mars”
In "The First Man on Mars," TV star Captain Isotope's larger-than-life persona leads him to believe he can actually reach Mars—much to the Spirit’s amusement, especially as he’s busy chasing Ellen. Written by Jules Feiffer and illustrated by Jim Dixon, with inks by Dixon, this 1952 adventure blends sci-fi whimsy with the Spirit’s signature charm, all captured in a cover by Jim Dixon.
