Flying saucers have waxed and waned in popular culture for decades now. In the early 50's the concept was just beginning to take its shape. Comics were quick to take advantage of the fad and gave us several comics referencing the mysterious flying objects. Vic Torry and his Flying Saucer appeared in 1950 and featured the work of artist Bob Powell underneath an attention-getting photo cover.

Another comic book from the era is Avon's Flying Saucers, another one-shot. Underneath a fascinating Gene Fawcette cover you'll find some early artwork by the great Wally Wood. The mini-epic speculates about just how long aliens have been here on this planet, with echoes of the Shaver Mystery ringing in the background.
