UFO & Outer Space.......
...was a continuation series of Gold Key Comic's 'UFO FLYING SAUCERS' comics which lasted from issue #1 (Oct 1968) to #13 (Jan 1977).
The 'UFO & Outer Space' comic series picked up with #14 (June 1978) and ended with #25 (Feb 1980).
During the 1970's 'flying saucers' were all the rage in the media. Close encounters were being reported frequently. These two comic book series would print stories of these encounters, and would point out the reputation of those doing the reporting.
Indeed the series even suggested biblical references to flying saucers!
For balance, there was a column on debunking these encounters. Even comics books were 'Politically Correct' starting in the 1970's !!
For those interested in UFO Comics and other SCI-FI comics, we have several hundred comic books in our eBay Featured Store !
Thank you for reading this pop culture /comic book blog post, and feel free to comment !
