Space Mouse

When a mysterious atomic growth begins spreading across Earth from Mars, Space Mouse suspects an extraterrestrial threat and blasts off in his homemade rocket with a companion to investigate. What starts as a perilous journey through space becomes a rescue mission when the pair discovers a sinister Martian scheme involving a dangerous ray machine—and one of their own disappears into a strange city on the red planet.

A fun romp through 1950s space adventure that proves heroism and romance don't always go hand-in-hand, even in the far reaches of the galaxy.
