Spaceman #4

From the pages of Atlas Comics' 1954 sci-fi lineup comes Speed Carter, Spaceman #4, featuring "Jupiter – The Giant Planet" with cover pencils by Mike Sekowsky. The cover pulls no punches: a sleek green flying saucer fires a blinding yellow energy beam down onto a city engulfed in flame, while spacesuit-clad figures scramble in the foreground against the chaos of a towering fiery explosion. It's a vivid snapshot of mid-century science fiction at its most dramatic, with Hank Chapman's writing and art by Sekowsky and inker Jack Abel bringing the Space Sentinels' cosmic battles to life.
