Space Ace

Set in the far-flung future of the 1990s, Space Ace was a one-shot from Magazine Enterprises in 1952, illustrated by the prolific Fred Guardineer. It follows the cosmic adventures of its square-jawed, rocket-packing hero as he battles alien menaces and explores the unknown reaches of the solar system. A classic example of early Atomic Age science-fiction comics, this single issue captures the boundless optimism and thrilling pulp spirit of the era.
