Nadine Grail, daughter of Earth's president, has been
kidnapped!!
For how much?!?
One million decimars? So 100,000 mars?!?!
Metric jokes--they
never get old!
Just so we're clear on that ransom demand...
In the far future, hastily-scrawled notes are
still the best way to deliver ransom demands:
Oh,
Anders Zorn, you cad!!
Meanwhile,
World Federation undercover agent
Mike Gordon is on the trail...despite some
questionable clothing choices:
I'm no scientist, but even with a space helmet, I wouldn't think that wandering around
shirtless for days on the moon is a good idea.
Still, the ladies seem to like it...
And Nadine joins him in having large amounts of exposed flesh in a vacuum.
Really, that
can't be good...
From Strange Worlds #9 (1952)
Yes, it hard to see what good it is to wear a space helmet... but no oxygen tank.
ReplyDeleteWas the villain in the story really named after the legendary Swedish painter, or was the signature an artist's in-joke from Kinstler? I also like the line "watch for details." They'll probably be on Eyewitness News at 11.
ReplyDeleteThat really was the villain's name--it's in a few word balloons--but obviously that still could have been an in-joke.
