Fred Guardineer - Manhunt 3 - Space Ace pg 6

Man. Do you want kitsch?? This whole story has it! This is the last page of a 6-page Space Ace story that appeared in Magazine Enterprises' Manhunt #3 cover-dated Dec 1947. Manhunt was an anthology title that featured detectives (Inspector Kirk of Scotland Yard, Jim Fallon of the FBI, Red Fox of the RCMP by LB Cole), spies (Undercover Girl by Ogden Whitney), and pseudo-superhero (Funnyman by Siegle and Shuster). Also included was Jet Black (what a name), the Space Ace, with his youthful companion, Jak Tal.

This story has art by Fred Guardineer and contains a little of everything. On this page, Jet has been captured by the Martian thieves who then turn on the Siren of the Asteroid until... Jak Tal bursts into the room and uses his disintegrator to cut a Martian bad guy in half. Yep. You read that correctly. He cut him in half. But all's well that ends well as the siren busts a pose in the last panel.
