SPACE BUSTERS "Death Rite of the Dwarfs"

Ten-Hut!
In space no one can hear you die...
...as we present the third chapter of the Mars Campaign from Ziff-Davis SpaceBusters #1 (1952)
This Bernie Krigstein-rendered story concludes the Space Busters tales from issue #1!
But we're not proceeding to #2 next week!
There was a major artistic shift between issues, resulting in much of the already-completed work for #2 by Krigstein being "written-off" and later published by other companies who acquired the comic division's assets after Ziff-Davis dropped the line (except for G.I. Joe) in 1953!
The second issue contains a artistically-rebooted series with a new "look" created by illustrator, Murphy Anderson, fresh off a run on the Buck Rogers newspaper strip!
You'll see that version next month!
Beginning next week, we'll be presenting those tales in the correct order (Space Busters #1.5, as it were!)
Until next time...
Dis-missed!
