Everett Raymond Kinstler cvr; severed head panelRod Hathway, Space Detective was a short-lived but well-regarded sci-fi offering from the Golden Age, featuring the titular character, also known as the Avenger, and his partner, the buxom Teena, as they battle a vampiric giant on the cover of issue #3 of the series. Hathway, a wealthy philanthropist dons his armored spacesuit while solving mysteries and tracking down threats to the Earth, Mars, and Venus in the year 2255. The character was the brainchild of Joe Orlando and Wally Wood, whose contributions to the Golden Age sci-fi are the stuff of legend. While pre-code horror books are seeing a great deal of advancement in price, sci-fi comics from the same era are yet to realize their full potential, so investing in these treasures of yesteryear is a savvy, prescient move.
