Russkie-Smashers MAN COMICS "Bob Brant & the Trouble-Shooters! in 'Rocket to the Moon!/Out of this World!' "

There are Russkies Everywhere...

...in every country, under the sea, and the sky above...including the Moon!
Note: May be NSFW due to portrayal of Australian Aborigines, though it's not any worse than the standard depiction of Native Americans in similar stories of the era.









So, the All-American teenagers defeat Russkies and claim the Moon for the good 'ol USA in this never-reprinted tale illustrated by Carl Hubbell from Atlas' Man Comics #27 (1953)!
It's a pity the magazine only ran for one more issue after this!

Russkie-Smashers MAN COMICS "Bob Brant and the Trouble-Shooters in 'Behind the False Face!' "

You don't need to be a superhero, aviator, or even a space-going cowboy to smash Russkies!
Sometimes, it just takes a group of all-American kids to do the job!
With almost all superheroes banished from the four-color pages of comic books after the ned of World War II, somebody had to take up the slack against the Russkies and Red Chinese and North Koreans!
Atlas Comics' editor Stan Lee combined the still-popular "kid gang" sub-genre with anti-Commie action in this short-lived series.
And, before you ask, they did end up battling Russkies on the Moon!
(I believe anyone who was anyone in 1950s comics had to do that at least once!)
But, that was after their premiere in this never-reprinted adventure from Atlas' Man Comics #26 (1953), illustrated by Carl Hubbell.
