How have these guys not been connected to our Legion?

Stay tuned and I'll try to post some panels from the story where Capt. Rock Braddon prevents two planets from warring over hair color!

I'm sure there's a bunch more panels to this comic, but these seem to tell you all you need to know.

Where is this groovy story from? Is this one of those Otto Binder Legion precursors?
 
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
 
The Space Legion first appears in Crack Comics #1, which also gave us the Black Condor and Madame Fatal!

That means that, like other Quality Comics features, it should currently be owned by DC!

Jeepers! When I start our comic book publishing company, this is one of those Quality properties we need to buy from DC stat!

Very cool story / franchise! I've never heard of them before.
 
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
 
There's enough groovy unused Quality characters that we could start a awesome comic book universe from just those!
 
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
 
Anyway, I think it would be totally cool if it turned out that Rokk Krinn was named after Rock Braddon of the Space Legion or something!

Unfortunately, in the next issue the Queens start another war over royal bikini colors.

They were waiting in the wings to take on the now tired winner.

Redheads are cunning like that.

That Rock guy wouldn't stand a chance.

Interesting that a ship called "Nova" was in distress in both Legions' first appearances. The Nova Express was the ship Superboy & Lightning Boy had to warn about danger...

Great googly moogly, Space Legion fans!

More adventures of Rock Braddon and company can be read in Crack Comics at the Digital Comics Museum!
