The Rocket Comic

A short-lived but notable British comic from the late 1940s, The Rocket Comic was published across five different imprints—Marx, Philmar, P.M. Productions, Amex, and Bairns—over the course of just two issues. Its rapid publisher changes reflect the volatile post-war British comics market, and the title itself serves as a snapshot of the era's fascination with adventure and science fiction themes. While specific creators are unrecorded in its brief history, it remains a curious artifact for collectors of obscure, ephemeral UK comics.
