Jack Kirby's Three Rocketeers

Race For The Moon #3, November 1958, was the last issue.

It contained the first Three Rocketeers story by Jack Kirby and Al Williamson, but while it was the only Rocketeers story in that issue it wasn't the last Three Rocketeers story to be published. Two more episodes by Kirby and Williamson were published in Harvey Comics' Blast-Off #1 from 1965, and there were a couple of other stories, not drawn by Kirby, in other magazines.

Back in Pappy's #228 I had an article about a wonderful British fanzine from 1964, The Shudder. I wondered about the editor, cartoonist Mike Higgs, and his later British comic character, The Cloak. Here's a blog entry from Lew Stringer's Blimey! It's Another Blog About Comics! with a picture--well, sorta--of Mike Higgs.
