Future Comics is actually a reprint of an Italian comic. In fact, it was the first non-American comic to be released in the U.S. The story follows Rebo, a Saturnian overlord wearing what appears to be a chicken-crest hat, as he declares war against the Earth, and the Air Force is unable to stop him. The issues also featured some reprints of the Lone Ranger and Phantom comics. The story was good, but short, as only four issues were released in 1940. Today, those issues belong to collectors and there aren’t many selling at auction.
