Consider it a pleasant bit of serendipity, then, as Hit Comics #50 just happens to contain the 50th Kid Eternity story!! And it involves the Martian invasion of Earth!!
Kid and Keeper see a "meteor" heading for Earth. But that's no meteor!!
Kid goes to warn the worst astronomer in the world:
But, despite "every observatory in the world" seeing the ship, no one knows where it landed! So Kid calls upon...
Now, this is another of those summons that might not pass muster these day, as Serra is a pretty controversial figure for his relations with Native Americans during the Spanish colonization of California.
But he is surprisingly effective at tracking down Martians!!
And nothing can stop it!!
It's another nice bit of serendipity, as The Story Of Louis Pasteur was on Turner Classic Movies earlier today!!
But maybe, just maybe, the Kid is kind of foolish for calling on the father of modern antibiotics? Because despite the claim that "mould is a bacteria," it only took Google .59 seconds to declare:
So perhaps it's no surprise that Louis is singularly ineffective at stopping the green slime!
And at least he's more effective at his job than Pasteur!
So whom does Kid call upon now?
So how does Steinmetz stop a complicated alien machine?
Anyway, that monkey wrench beats the whole alien mothership, and we learn that the deadly Martian bio-warfare wasn't really deadly at all!
