About this Collection

This hardcover collects the complete run of two short-lived 1950s Atlas Comics science fiction series, Jet Powers and Space Ace, presented in their original pre-Code form. Featuring atomic-age space adventures and alien encounters, these stories showcase the unregulated, often more daring storytelling that defined comics before the Comics Code Authority was established. The volume includes all published issues of both titles, offering a snapshot of early Cold War-era sci-fi comics from a major Golden Age publisher.

"Jet Powers Captain of Science!" delivers a classic sci-fi adventure from the golden age of comics, spotlighting Space Ace in a tale where a bounty hunt turns into a deadly game of wits. When Space Ace rescues Dalla, a woman claiming her ship was attacked and her scientist companion abducted, he follows her trail to Titan—only to find himself ensnared in a trap set by Flor, the vengeful pirate queen. The story, illustrated with bold, dynamic art by Al Williamson, Wally Wood, and Frank Frazetta, is presented in a stunning 2017 reprint from PS Artbooks, with a striking cover by Bob Powell.

Space Ace sets out to collect the reward for finding missing scientist Benton Thorpe, but instead finds a woman drifting in space. He rescues Dalla and hears her tell how her ship was invaded by aliens and Thorpe was captured. He follows her ship to Titan, but Dalla's story was all just part of a trap planned by Flor to capture him. Flor, the leader of the space pirates, intends to get revenge on Space Ace for tricking her in a previous scheme.
