About the series
Based on the popular TV show, this Prize Comics series ran for just three issues in 1955, chronicling the adventures of a young cadet training for space exploration. Written by Joseph Greene and illustrated with dynamic energy by Mort Meskin, the title captured the optimistic, post-war fascination with the cosmos. Though brief, it stands as a classic piece of 1950s atomic-age pop culture.
