Stardust and the Venusian Vultures

[tripodeca113]

The Stardust story from Fantastic Comics #12

















It's unsettling seeing Stardust show, some sort of concern for someone. Or maybe he'll just forget about her and she'll be stuck on his private star for the rest of her life...

Fletcher Hanks seems to have had only a very vague idea of how space works.

Or people.

I kind of feel like Stardust maaaaybe could've stepped in before the widescale death and destruction occurred?

Also, that panel where Stardust has the woman so casually tucked under his arm, like how you'd tuck a newspaper under your arm to open a door. Just like, "Oh, hey, a dame. Guess I'll carry her around for a bit. Wait, no, I got stuff to do, I'll just stick her in mid-air with my anti-gravity ray." Like one does.

KAOS is the villain? Should've gotten Maxwell Smart on the case! ;)

"Would you like to come to my private star for awhile? I'll show you my etchings..."

I wonder whether Hanks's editor told him to give Stardust a love interest. Doesn't seem like the sort of idea he would've come up himself. In any case, this is her only appearance, not counting the Mike Allred tribute decades later.

Hopefully KAOS and Mister Mind aren't pen pals.
