For colorful science-fiction excitement comic books were a massive well-spring of creativity, especially during the 1950s. In the midst of the Cold War, on the cusp of the space race, anything seemed possible. The Charlton Comics series OUTER SPACE is a shining example of imaginations unleashed. Most of the writing for the title goes uncredited, but the artwork is out of this world. The list includes Steve Ditko, Matt Baker, Charles Nicholas, Al Williamson and many more. This collection includes all nine issues of Charlton’s OUTER SPACE, originally published during 1958 and 1959. As an extra bonus, the 1968 stand alone issue is also included. This book was compiled with the best images currently available. That stated, these comics are over sixty years old. The best efforts have been made to make the pages as enjoyable as possible but not every panel is perfect and some allowances for the age of the books need to be considered when judging the overall contents. Many of the redundant advertisements have been removed to keep the cost of the book down.
