Number 1804: Men in Space: Maneely and Romita

Our final post from our Men in Space theme week: a double treat from two of Atlas Comics’ top artists, Joe Maneely and John Romita.

Romita became one of Stan Lee’s top Marvel Age artists when he took over Spider-Man from Ditko, but he was good from the beginning of his career. His work at Atlas shows he was already a top-notch talent long before he made his bones drawing a wall-crawling superhero.

Joe Maneely, though (sigh)...I have spoken of him several times, and always with the wish that he could have lived (he died in an accident at a very young age).

Both stories are from Speed Carter, Spaceman #1 (1953).
