Hello and welcome to the sixth
spaced out issue of Spotlight Comics!!! Here you'll get a 5th week dose
of Golden Age goodness! Enjoy!
You may notice that this issue's line-up has
slightly changed from what was planned. Well, that's because I noticed
that I was missing a page from the Dick Devins story I was planning to
use, oops! I hope that the Planet Patrol from Silver Streak Comics is an
acceptable substitute.

-Other Information-
(From The Golden Age
Heroes Directory) One of the features of the Fair of 1939 was the rocketing
of a space ship to the planet Mars. Piloted by young Montague Dexter and
his wife, the ship soared on its course, the anxious world receiving word
from it every hour, until...1960 1970 1980 1990 2000, the years pass.
On the face of the planet Mars,
in a barren valley, we see the battered rocket plane, like a wounded eagle,
it lies there, the first messenger from our Earth to an unknown land. Two
men are repairing the ship--Montague Dexter, now 85 years old, and his
son Rex, the first human to be born on Mars.
Rex, being a native Martian, doesn't
need an oxygen helmet to breath in the Martian atmosphere. He is also friends
with the Martians and the acknowledged link between tehm and Earth. Once
he returns to Earth he makes friends and challenges and defeats evil humans,
for both Earth and Mars. He has no superpowers.
