Spiegle not only drew horse operas, he could draw space operas with equal skill. He drew Space Family Robinson (later Lost in Space, to cash in on the popular TV series which had lifted the premise of Space Family Robinson.) The Captain Venture strip was a backup in Space Family Robinson/Lost in Space, from issues #6 to #30. Later Gold Key reprinted two issues of reprints of these strips. What I’m showing today are the reprints from issue #1 (1968).

Thanks, Pappy.
These were always my favorite part of the Space Family Robinson comics. I didn't know they had been collected together.
Some of my favorite Dan Spiegle art was on Korak: Son of Tarzan.
yeah,Gold Key put a collection.I had the first one.Obviously Venture as inspired by possibly Planet of the Ape-minus the apes,maybe Dan Dare.
The Gold Key and Dell sci-fi stories were always more thoughtful than their counterparts at DC. One question, tho: I notice your page numbering jumps from 16 to 21. There doesn't seem to be any gap in the story material.
