Pete Mangan of the Space Patrol

Pete Mangan of the Space Patrol is a British comic series from L. Miller & Son, launched in 1953 and running for six issues. It follows the interstellar adventures of a space patrolman, tapping into the post-war fascination with science fiction and space travel. The series is most closely associated with the artist and writer Frank Hampson, whose dynamic, clean-line style helped define the look of British space comics in the 1950s. Though short-lived, it remains a charming artifact of early British sci-fi comics, capturing the optimistic, heroic spirit of the era.
