OUTER SPACE No. 1 Australian Edt'n Priced 1/- Outer Space 1 Universal 9.2 Australian OUTER SPACE No. 1 CGC 9.2 Highest Graded. Priced 1/- (1 shilling) [Reprint of US #17]

Printed in Australia by New Century Press in 1958 on newsprint newspaper.

Stories: "The Dream"; "Step into Outer Space"; "Space Platform"; "The Man from Outer Space"; "Destination: Outer Space"

The US version has a large ATTENTION notice on the cover and, in my opinion, spoils the image blocking half of the Spaceman's suit and completely hides the spaceship at the bottom right corner. 		View Comic
