Captain Condor (1952)

Captain Condor was a strip created by Frank Pepper and Ronald Forbes about a valiant spaceship pilot in the year 3000 AD which appeared in the pages of IPC's Lion comic from 1952 onwards.  Lion was designed to compete with Eagle and Condor was basically the comic's answer to Dan Dare.

David Starr, Space Ranger (1952) and covers gallery

Lucky Starr is the hero of a series of juvenile/young adult SF books by Isaac Asimov, writing under the pen name Paul French.  The British editions of all six novels omitted the Lucky Starr prefixes and went out as the Space Ranger series, which is what I'm going to use as an excuse for my own ignorance about these books.  Now I'm up to speed lets have a series of cover galleries although obviously it will only be those editions that feature spacesuits.

Radar Men from the Moon (1952)

George Wallace stars as Commando Cody in one of Republic Pictures Rocket Men serials.

Told in 12 parts, Radar Men from the Moon is the tale of an all American Rocket man who discovers that Retik, the ruler of the moon, and his Radar Men(?) are planning to take over the Earth.  It's then spun-out for several weeks of fisticuffs with hired thugs most of which take place on earth because thats cheaper to film.
The Rocket suit was previously seen in King of the Rocket Men and would be seen afterwards in Zombies of the Stratosphere.
Whereas the villainous Radar Men are wearing the Destination Moon style suits... but then wasn’t everyone back then?
