Origin[]
In 1940, Jane Martin's scientist father invented the first ship capable of inter-planetary travel. Along with her childhood friend, Ted Hunt, Jane took this the ship into space in order to avoid some gangsters.Together Jane and Ted became the Space Rovers who toured the solar system in their ship and fought numerous intergalactic threats. These included the Robot Masters of Venus and the Dictator of Jupiter.
Golden Age Appearances[]
- Exciting Comics #2-9
Notes[]
- The Nedor comics were renewed by Popular Library, which was eventually bought out by Fawcett Books. When Fawcett went out of business, Popular Library was sold to Warner Bros. A number of different publishers, however, are currently/have been using these characters without any lawsuits from Warner Bros., so any action over them is (probably) unlikely. They are still, however, "use at your own risk" characters.
