Cosmic Carson

Cosmic Carson was the first Fox Publishing alliterative titled heroes. The inspiration for the character is patent: Flash Gordon, Edgar Rice Burroughs' pulp stories and Buck Rogers.

Cosmic Carson was the two-fisted wise-cracking “ace pilot of the interplanetary patrol” and fought space opera themed menaces such as Brigo and the Fangmen of Jupiter, the Skullmen, Cannibals on Eros, and a [| Pluto]nian “protoplasmic degenerator”.

Of note is that Science Comics #4 (cover dated May 1940) was drawn by a chap called Jack Kirby.
