Ten-Hut!
Editor Jerry Siegel wanted Space Busters to look more like...
... the recently-revamped and revitalized Buck Rogers strip!
But artist Marvin Stein ended up using the original Buck strip as reference in his tryout, and lost the gig!
With a looming deadline, Siegel contacted the Buck Rogers strip's artist, Murphy Anderson (who had recently left the series) to provide redesigns...
...as well as the cover-featured story!
(Note: the cover is by Allen Anderson...no relation to Murphy!)
Personally, I'm not crazy about the purple-red color scheme, but at least it matches the uniform on the cover.And, I think this is more the "look" Don (the John) Trump wants for his "Space Force" than the utilitarian garb of the first issue!
Until next time...
If the Donald (MAGA!) starts a space force, I'm in.
