SPACE COMIC BOOK GALLERY

The above Classic comic featured a summary of space exploration as it was understood in 1959. The artist's cover concept of the future journey to the planets is a unique interpretaiion. Note the planet depicted appears to be Jupiter's body with the ring structure of Saturn. Interesting! Additionally, the astronauts wrestle with a cumbersome teather system which has the potential of considerable entanglement. Noteworthy are the two spacemen in the foreground who seem to be anchored to the spaceship by gravity while the remaining astronauts float in a zero-g environment.
