Space Busters #2

In "Victory on Valda," Captain Crockett and his crew face a tense standoff with the resistance fighters of the planetoid Valda, struggling to prove they’re not another occupying force like the Belzarians—until nurse Wing steps in to save Menso’s daughter Rada, sparking a fragile hope for trust.

In "Remember Makano," Captain Crockett commands a daring strike force to retaliate after the Utani ape-men, led by the traitor Senstral, devastate a remote outpost on Makano. With precision and resolve, Crockett’s platoon launches a brutal assault, dismantling the Utani barracks and destroying the Belzarian death ray tank corps.

In "Life in the Solar System," Mercury's scorching heat and Jupiter's freezing depths make them unlikely homes for life—yet Venus, with its surprisingly temperate zones, and Mars, with climates akin to Earth's sub-Arctic, hint at possibilities beyond our world.

In "Mission to Baldor!" from Space Busters #2 (1952), Captain Crockett teams up with Sabra, the fearless leader of a rebel force on the planetoid Baldor, to stand against the oppressive forces of Senstral and his Mashon troops. With courage and cunning, the two forge an unlikely alliance in a fight that could change the fate of the planetoid.
