Basil Wolverton in Space

Plot

Famous for his inimitable grotesqueries and his alliterative humor, Basil Wolverton sold his first cartoons at the Vancouver, Washington Farmers' Market. He was 11 at the time. After an early vaudeville career and several near-misses with newspaper strips, he sold his first stories to America's Humor in 1926. In 1938, he began comic-book work for Globe with "Spacehawks" and "Disk-Eyes" in Circus. This fat little book of classic, one-of-a-kind Basil Wolverton material collects all kinds of stories and strips featuring such bizarrely-Basil characters as Meteor Morgan, Spacehawk, Jumpin' Jupiter, Rocket Rider, Milt Archer, and Supersonic Sammy
