Number 563
Space Falcon and the Pirates of the Stratosphere
Here is the third story from the one-shot
Captain Rocket, a Canadian comic book from 1951.
It's well-illustrated, but the silly costumes, as usual, crack me up. I especially like the open-shirted look of Tubby. Say, this isn't Tubby Tompkins of
Little Lulu fame grown up, is it?
Futuristic fashions notwithstanding this has robots, and I love a story with robots.
The first two stories from this science fiction comic can be found in
Pappy's #517 and
Pappy's #533.
Just can't trust those space-dames!
