Amazing Mystery Funnies #22
"Chapter 6" in Amazing Mystery Funnies #22 (1940) delivers a wild interplanetary chase as Nick and Kodi intercept Jol's Gambling Palace mid-flight near the Moon—far from its usual orbit around Venus. With a rogues' gallery of alien criminals aboard, including Martian bandits and a Saturnian smuggler, the duo springs into action, leaving Jol to escape while summoning reinforcements from the Space Patrol. Written and illustrated by the singular Basil Wolverton, this pulpy sci-fi adventure features dynamic art and a zany, high-stakes premise, all framed by Paul Gustavson’s vivid cover.
