Here's our final preview of Todd Frye's Jungle Queens and Space Rangers. Like Fight, Jungle and Planet, Wings Comics was sort of a spin-off from the Fiction House pulps of the same titles. It ran 124 issues, from 1940 to 1954, and all the covers are outstanding.
The evolution you'll see in Todd's book begins with straight air war, progresses to GGA, gives a hat tip to the flying saucer craze, and returns to straight out warfare, this time in Korea. Great stuff.

The last one looks like a John Severen cover. I've always loved his war comic art.
That cover reminded me of Severin, too. Comic Book Plus credits it to Maurice Whitman.
Hard to put into words how much I love these
Maurice Whitman (a favorite of Steve Ditko) did many covers for Ficion House at the end of their run in comics. The covers of GHOST were by him as well as those great last issues of PLANET. The coloring on all of his FH covers was so exceptional and brilliant with graduated tones, I suspect he had some control of that aspect also.
