Space Squadron Primer

Series Overview

What I can say about Space Squadron that hasn’t already been said before? Literally anything? Right, because it’s a bullshit science fiction series from the Atlas era of comics that people hardly remember. This series was an attempt to cash in on the sci-fi action adventure genre that became popular in the 1950s. Like Commando Cody, Captain Video, and Rocky Jones: Space Ranger. If you don’t know what any of those things are, congratulations, you probably aren’t at risk for the onset of dementia just yet.

If you think this isn’t part of Marvel continuity in some way, you’d be wrong. Recent editions of the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe have designated this series as taking place in an alternate universe designated Reality-5106.
