Space Ace by Al Williamson (and Wally Wood?)

The splash on 1951s Space Ace is signed Al Williamson, and Wally gets mentioned as maybe the inker or partial inker, but that ball (uh, globe?orb?) on page 6 is, to me, definitely onea Wally's

  1. I think you're right about that one element, anyway. Definitely Williamson/Wood on "Death in Deep Space." Some of the earliest Williamson/Frazetta collabs that I wish someone would collect (but may be legally difficult) are all the John Wayne comics.

    1. Dunno if it's just the one element, since Space Ace has a handful of short, stout spaceships that could of flown right out a Space Detective. Definitely agree on the Fritz/Al John Waynes-just georgeous. Onea my fav I Love Lucys was John Wayne as the guest, and I always dug that Duke had a big screen mounted on the ceiling above his bed
