Halloween in Space, Part One!!




Some 1962 Bill Molno space art for Charlton Comics.  I love Molno's Charlton space stuff, and he also did some nice horror material for that company in the 1970s.  Not a lot of the latter, unfortunately.

Ten space-themed from the 1950s and 1960s (maybe earlier, in the case of the Hal Herzon sides), including a Star Wars/Close Encounters medley from the LP Pizza & Pipes, which I'll explain someday when I have time.  In space, no one can hear you say, "Wow!  We're in space!!"
