If ever there was a comic book tailor-made to my tastes, it has to be Avon's
Rod Hathaway, Space Detective, published from July of 1951 to July of '52 - for a total of four issues. I've never actually seen or read a copy, but from the covers - Issue #1 by
Joe Orlando, inked by
Wally Wood! - and the story titles featured thereon ("Opium Smugglers of Venus," "Sea Nymphs of Neptune," "Metal Murderers of Mars,"
et al), I suspect I'd love every page! Here's all four covers for your enjoyment!

You CAN read the adventures of Space Detective!
Here's some background about him along with the inside front covers for his four-issue run, which are as cool as the covers...
