Stories and art by Ben Brown, Lew Gantz and Bob Bean. Capturing the paranoia of the Cold War, this series portrayed a future where "atomic" weapons replaced conventional ones. Future astronauts turn a deadly "space moss" into a weapon against their alien captors. Captain Buck Vinson and his team take an experimental tank-like "crawler" on a mission to free captive scientists from an enemy munitions lab. Pioneering space explorers discover an alien plan to invade Earth with zombies. Buck Vinson: The Deadly Crawler; The Hungry Moss; Gag-Bag; Sky Diver; Cautious Hero. Final issue of the series; St. John revived the title five years later. 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
