This is our second (of three) collections of Space Patrol stories by «Eando Binder» (Otto O. Binder). Starting with the February, 1946 issue, every issue of Captain Marvel Adventures included a 2-page short story featuring Lt. Jon Jarl of the Space Patrol. These juvenile space operas – designed to appeal to kids – featured daring-do by a two-fisted young member of the Space Patrol. In a solar system where seemingly every planet and moon can support life and the asteroid belt harbors numerous space pirates and criminals, Jon Jarl always seems to save the day.<P> If you've seen the early TV adventures of Captain Video and His Video Rangers, Space Patrol, or Tom Corbett, Space Cadet – which were clearly influenced by Binder's writing (as well as the shared universe of «space opera» that had been developed in Amazing Stories magazine under editor Ray Palmer) – you will know what you're in for…a ride into the Wild West of outer space, where physics and logic never get in the way of a good story!<P> Includes 30 short stories.
